Carolina Shag is a style of swing dance and the state dance of both the Carolinas. It has its origins from the beaches near North Myrtle in the 1940s when the teens in the area were dancing the Big Apple and Lindy Hop. The music they were dancing to changed in the late 40s and slowed down and eventually morphed the dance into what we know as Carolina Shag today!
