Charlie Womble & Jackie McGee

Charlie and Jackie are 9 time National Shag Champions, US Open Swing Champions, members of the Shaggers Hall of Fame, Shad Alberty Award recipients, 3 time Feather Award winners for: Best Male and Female Swing Dancers, Best Classic Swing couple, New Wave Award. They also produce the Grand National Dance Championship.

Carolina Shag was born during the 1940s in Myrtle Beach, S. C. This was the little beach dance done to the changing sound of swing and blues music. Using 6 and 8 count slotted patterns, this style of Shag opens up from the original while keeping the primary features of Shag intact: the upper body stays ?quiet? while the feet and lower body do all the talking; both partners practice fancy footwork and ?cool? attitudes, and the leader uses signature spins and drops. Charlie Womble & Jackie McGee use both 6 and 8 beat step patterns with a lot of styling action in the lower body. If you see someone doing West Coast Swing with rubber legs and tight footwork, you are probably seeing this style of dancing.
