Catch the dance bug that took the midwest by storm in the 1930's and is now sweeping its way across globe! A little bit like Lindy, a little bit like Charleston, but a dynamic and distinctive dance in its own right, join us and find out what the fuss is about.
Often paired with jump blues and uptempo R&B, but equally at home with the full range of swing music from ragtime to rock n roll, St Louis Shag is a core swing dance that is only growing in popularity.
Here's a taste:

Whether you're new to swing dance or a seasoned Lindy Hopper, you'll find SLS surprisingly easy to pick up. This 3-hour workshop is designed to suit all levels, whether you're a first-timer or an old hand.
In Part 1 we kick off with an introduction to the dance and and its fundamental principles before introducing some core moves that will give you the confidence and inspiration to get up and out on the dance floor immediately.
In Part 2 we'll build on these core techniques, build repertoire, and tune styling. Even if you have some prior knowledge of the dance, you'll to add to your repertoire in both classes, with classic footwork variations, break, moves, and style.
Even better news - after the workshop, you can join the Shag Pile gang at 'The Bees Knees Up Ball' at Limehouse Town Hall and give your new moves a spin on the dance floor at what's set to be the social dance event of the season!
On the menu:
- 2 x 90 minute sessions of in-depth, fast-track training
- Teaching from the expert Shag Pile team
- Break with light refreshments provided
- Option to purchase a single session
- Concessions available (NHS / student / whatever - we won't ask)
