Just take a listen to the MC introducing them before the dancing even starts if you ever needed a reminder of how big these two dancers are in the field. He summarizes the accolades, successes, and prizes that these two amazing dancers have received throughout the years. Since we now recognize excellence even before the music begins, when the record starts to spin, these two also start to spin. A tutorial in the proper execution of the Carolina Shag was performed by Jeremy Webb and Kalin Ellis. The Carolina Shag, which is the recognized dance of his home state, is Jeremy Webb’s area of expertise as a professional dancer and instructor.
He has a ton of miles on his dance shoes to prove it, as the MC so meticulously informed us, and he has won countless shag titles throughout the years. Jeremy describes the reasons why Shag is his passion in his LinkedIn profile. ‘Shag has always been a source of joy in my life, and I’m bringing the Carolina Shag experience to everyone so they can experience the happiness the shag dance and shag music brings me every day,’ She is one of the greatest, so she can shag with the best of them. Dancer Kalin Ellis is a partner in these lauded dances. At the annual US Non-Professional competition in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, Kalin and Jeremy took first place. While attending nursing school, from which she recently graduated, she participated in a number of tournaments.
Carolina Shag Shag historian Phil Sawyer describes the Carolina Shag as, in his book ‘Save The Last Dance For Me,’ ‘A cold beer on a warm night, with a hot date, and no plans for tomorrow.’ The well-known dance, according to Southern Living, was created in the 1940s on the beaches of South Carolina. ‘Generally speaking, the partners should appear to be perfectly in sync with one another’s actions. The woman follows suit with her right foot, the man leads with his left foot, and so on. Each partner does the same step in the fundamental form, but with the other foot. As you gain experience, you’ll be able to have more fun and attempt quicker, trickier steps. Both Jeremy and Kalin demonstrate their extensive knowledge as they breeze over a number of challenging tasks. This is a remarkable performance of clever footwork.These two have joyful feet, which prompted one YouTube user to write, ‘Wow! There’s a show where you can just watch their feet.
The Shag Extravaganza is an annual event in Columbia, South Carolina, put on by the Capital City Shag Club. At the yearly Shag Extravaganza, where they won the National Champion title, Jeremy and Kalin slashed across the dance floor. The nice people in the club are supporters of the shag who adore the lengthy history the dance has in their state. They organized the event as a method to introduce the dance to new fans around the world. Dancers from all over the world come together for the Shag Extravaganza for a weekend of dancing, instruction, and all things shag. The song of Little Richard ignites these two.
The selected song is ‘True Fine Mama’ from Little Richard’s self-titled debut album. Little Richard played a significant role in pop culture and music for many years. His nick names include ‘The Innovator,’ ‘The Originator,’ and ‘The Architect of Rock and Roll.’ Bob Dylan was so greatly influenced by Little Richard that he wrote in his high school yearbook that his life’s ambition was to ‘Join Little Richard.’ This video has suddenly gone viral on YouTube. ‘I’m just in awe of this. Wonderful.’ ‘This man has rubber legs! Fantastic dance! Absolutely wonderful.’ ‘Holy Moly, they’re fantastic!’
