Description
Learn to dance Colleagiate Shag and/or consolidate your fundamentals, with four classes taught by Ruth and Murray in October 2026. The classes are suitable for beginners and anyone interested in consolidating their fundamentals.
Collegiate Shag is a high-energy partnered swing dance that originated in the United States during the late 1920s and became a massive craze among college students in the 1930s. It is characterized by fast, bouncy footwork, typically following a "slow, slow, quick, quick" rhythm.
After the hour-long class we've got another hour of social dancing which is open to non-class attendees.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BUY TICKETS IN ADVANCE, and you can attend single classes. If you're a beginner, please make sure that you attend the first and/or second class. If you want advance tickets, you can BUY TICKETS FOR 3 OR 4 CLASSES of a class block for either the dance role of Follower or Leader. Please feel free to choose your dance role according to your personal preference, regardless of gender.
You're entitled to buy classes at the CONCESSION RATE if you're on low income or have an Edinbop 2026 membership. You can buy an annual membership here on DanceCloud.
