Ocean Drive, South Carolina

Please roll your mouse over the picture, to enjoy...

Softly through the night air the sounds of magic ring ...

Circling through the heavens and back to earth again.

The twinkling of the stars that float so high above ~

The crescent of the moon that's glowing bright over the ocean...

As she sat watching the shagging at OD ~

The darkness that surrounds her.. covers her with warmth ~

As she watches the men wrap their arms around, the women...

Then hold them close..to their ... hearts...

Kisses that remind her of angels in the air ~

Shag dancing is a legend you see...

It all started here, at the pavillion, in OD ~

Two shadows in darkness that merge into one...

To hold close forever like the moon and the sun.

The colors of darkness surround them ... in time ~

Back before she gave him her heart ...

She dances to the music, her hair tossed to the wind

Her body filled with rhythm, the heartbeat from within...

The music fills her body, he whispers in her ear ~

She feels like she's in heaven, she doesn't have a care

She dances with abandon, delirious to all ...

She closes her eyes as if in a trance

A smile spreads across her face ~

She's lost in a world of shagging...

As the jukebox plays...

She's lost in the past ~

She is lost in the world of OD ~

What is "Shag" you ask? It's a dance craze that started in Ocean Drive Beach, South Carolina..known as OD..back in the 40 and 50's... Local teens invented the dance step that is most suited to Rhythm & Blues music. But "Shag" is much more than a style of swing dancing,or a slow version of the Charleston..

To many it is a way of life ~!

Shag is a 6-count, basic pattern dance with East Coast Swing. There is a rearrangement of the footwork that makes it look and feel unique. All the action occurs below the waist, though instructors tend to teach a very standard basic pattern~

True seasoned "Shaggers" take pride in adopting their own versions of the dance, each being distinctive and smooth... Using the balls of their feet and small steps, "Shaggers" manage to perform this very "cool" style of dance to individual perfection!

Shag has become such a way of life to so many people that it is hard to imagine a time before "Beach Music" ..

We definitely haven't seen the last of the "Shagger" ..

This is where it all began...

The Ocean Drive Pavilion...

Shag is now the state dance of South Carolina...
