What does "bump" on SoWal.com mean when I see this in people's posts? There used to be a dance called the bump - it was one of my favorites. Should be a SoWal ho down favorite if you do some dancing. Here's a YouTube video of the bump and I still love it. Please, please, please make it the official SoWal dance, Daddy-0.

Shag dancing looks MUCH harder than the bump. I looked it up on youtube because I didn't know what shag dancing is - looks like you actually have to coordinate with a partner and know some real steps. The shag would be harder to do with a jello shot or pudding shot in your hand.
this is all very true, Paula...:lol: It IS very complicated...and if you don't do it right (ie...I "put too much booty " in it)....you are frowned upon....:shock:....:floor:South Carolinians take their shagging seriously....too seriously..........:funn:

Isn't shagging just a laid back jitter-bug?? I love to watch people do the jitter-bug.

I used to have tons of "beach music" mix tapes- shagging music that made it to Louisville from college friends in the Carolinas and Virginia. The Tams, the Embers, the Showmen, and the best- The Chairmen of the Board. Some of my friends had amazing collections and played the VA/NC frat party circuit. Of course, those were my "pink and green" days.:lol:

I just watched some of those youtubes, and not one played any real beach music- people are now shagging to anything, even country music. That just seems wrong!:lol:

That's more than shag. That's shag++.

Simple shag:
Hold right hand of female with left hand of male.
Right-left-right (and lean slightly to the right when you step with your right foot).
Left-right-left.
Right-left (and back up a tad when you do this).
Then repeat the above.
If you are coordinated (which I am not), throw in some twirls here and there.
