Club Lessons & Schedule
The club is a Social and Dance Club and many people who stop by on Thursday Evenings, do not know much about dancing or the Carolina Shag in particular. At 7:00 club members will teach the Shag Basic and a Female Turn so that anyone can be on the floor and start to enjoy themselves in 15 minutes or so. We run a full set of beginner classes at the YWCA in Brunswick and some Basic Plus and Intermediate steps with guest instructors at Ziggy's. The Facebook Page will keep you up to date with the most current class information.

For some people work and family committments prevent attendance for the full time, you will find that you can purchase daily passes for $20/person and pay $10/person for any dance workshop you might select. Clearly the weekend pass is good value if you like Bands, Dancing and Workshops.
