Attention Shag Dancers
The Ocean Islanders Shag Club will be holding its monthly dance this coming Friday evening, May 24th, at The View at Brick Landing (2nd Floor), 1882 Goose Creek Rd SW, OIB. This is a gorgeous venue overlooking the waterway. The doors open at 6:30PM with the dance beginning at 7:00 PM. Light snacks will be available, along with a cash bar. The DJ for the evening will be local favorite Kitty Earles. Cost for non members will be $10/person, with member cost (and those with an SOS card) at $5/person. Memberships are available and anyone can join at any time, including at the dances. Membership is not required to attend the dances. All skill levels are welcome, including beginners. Beginning lessons will be available for anyone who may desire them.
The Ocean Islanders Shag Club is relatively new, holding its first dance this past February. The goal is to develop and operate a healthy club to provide an opportunity for all those who enjoy shag dancing, and for those who would like to begin shag dancing, a regular opportunity to do so. Also, the dances provide an opportunity for visitors to our beach communities to enjoy an evening out with great fun and entertainment. The dances provide the opportunity to make new friendships and renew old ones. And, the dances provide a forum to continue to promote the shag dancing style among future generations. The expectation is for everyone to have a great time. There are no ‘shag police’ judging how well anyone dances. There are always all skill levels in attendance.
If anyone would like more information about the club, such as how to become a member, please contact the club president, Ronnie Robinson, at ronnie@oceanislanders.com. Memberships are available at $40/couple, or $20/person. Also, please note on your calendars that the June club dance will be on Friday, June 21st, same venue, same time.
