Don’t be one of those couples that agonizingly struggle through their first dance on the big day, spoiling what should be a very memorable and fun part of the wedding.  Learning to dance is a part of the wedding that you can take with you to share through your life together. With all of the planning and expense of a wedding, it is understandable how some things might get overlooked---make sure it is not your first dance together; plan, learn and prepare to dance.

 Shag at our wedding?

    Your first dance should be fun and the dance style should be  one you want to learn to do for fun before, on and after the big day.  What dance could be more fun than the Carolina Shag!  Maybe you know the Shag as the state dance of South Carolina or the pride of the SC beach culture.  Shag has enjoyed steady support for many years and is currently studied and danced in the Carolinas to California by ages 5 to 85.  And don’t worry if you hoped to find a special song for that first dance; shag is not just for beach music. 

Do we have to dance to Beach Music?

NO!  Shag works well with many popular wedding day songs and when done correctly the Shag is a graceful and relaxed dance…perfect for your wedding! Some examples of popular shag songs often also used at weddings include:

Unforgettable-Nat King Cole

Fly Me To The Moon-Frank Sinatra

Night and Day-Earl Bostic

Could Not Ask For More-Edwin McCain

From This Moment-Shania Twain

It Had To Be You- Harry Connick Jr

Unchained Melody-Righteous Brothers

Loving You- Kenny G

Let’s Stay Together-Al Green

Wonderful World-Micheal Bolton

Cupid-Sam Cooke

I Will Always Love You-Whitney Houston
