Description

Shag Pile is back for the Autumn term!

Whether you’re partner dancing for the first time, brushing up your moves, or simply want to start your weekend smiling, we’ve got the night for you.

Drop in, warm up, step out, learn moves, tweak technique, and dance your socks off with our friendly crew.

Collegiate Shag has a smooth learning curve, so each week we start from the basics and build moves and techniques. Things get aerobic, so join in for one or two hours as suits - all we ask is that you come early so you're ready to warm up and dance. People arriving very late can disrupt class, so may not be admitted.

Alongside clear, effective instruction, we like to look at the music and musicians that inspired the original African American Shag dancers - and we end the evening with refreshments and chat at a nearby pub so we can get to know one another.

Shag is a partnered dance, but you don't need to bring anyone - just roll up and rock out! The dance is quite aerobic, so please bring flexible flat soled shoes for your comfort. Water and WCs are available in the venue. We generally rotate partners, but the option not to do so remains in place for the comfort of students.

6:45 pm: Arrival + changing

7-8 pm: Intro & first hour

Note: Latecomers may not be admitted, since this can disrupt the class.

8-9 pm: Second hour & recap

Then it's off to the Camel pub for refreshments and chat.

Venue: The Mulberry Hall, St Margarets' House, 15 Old Ford Road, London E2 9PJ
