Chanzie has a baby, great !! We need more people from this gene pool !!

Hi Ryan. How do you teach beginners to hold their posture in the first lesson, Upright or Piked? Thanks for the video.

Wowza, this shitt is good ! The first dancer she is so cute, like Minnie Mouse ! They are all fantastic !!!! There is a reason our great grandparents danced this way, they were much smarter back then.

Just as oriental style Smoothly steps.

That music is amazing! Didn't know this band. Thanks for the recommendation🤩

Thanks God and the performers for making us able to see this video. Their performance reminds me an offroad truck on desert dunes going fast over bumps when one can see the wheels and springs and dampers are having their time to accommodate the bumps while the main body of the car is flowing like a ship on course. This is so wow!

I’m so glad people are still interested in shag. I used to be heavily involved in my local swing scene and only a few of us even knew what shag was.

Beautifully smooth

Not a fan of Gypsy/Roma music for swing, but I see it really work for c-shag here. Nice solution.

Very accurate done, thanks

Thank you for the awesome video!

Excellent competition, what a high level of dancers! 👏👏👏

Thanks a lot from a real shagadelic. I totally agree with clarifying the pulse right at the beginning.

Thank you! That's amazing!

And what a great band with Jonathan Doyle!

Dear Patricio Congratulation on your new medal in the beautiful art of dancing Cecilia Murua

Great dancer Patricio, very high level!!

very good

Patricio Espinoza, such a great dancer!

🔥

Nicholas Tapia is my spirit animal.

Probably the finest amateur mix and match shag contest I've ever seen. Such improvisation. Such smile. Such DANCE. Bravo to those brave dancers. I think I have an unbiased opinion when I say those 10 souls were just incredible and inspiring to see. :D

That second song is fantastic!

N & S Americans really know how to create social dances!

This makes me so happy to watch

Tom Gallagher and my mom use to go to Sea Island to do exhibition dancing for Arthur and Katherine Murray.

Thank you so much for you work , always so dedicated!

Amazing, thank you Ryan!

This is an amazingly interesting video. Thanks for composing it!

This is fabulous! Thanks Ryan!

It looks like you may have clips of the original Arthur and Katherine Murray Shag Dancers! I'm looking for my mom in these clips, and she was one of Arthur Murray's originals!

Awesome!

Thank you a lot for doing and sharing this great video.

Jonathan Doyle is such an amazing musician

Great teamwork. Exceptional talent.

The band is Jonathan Doyle Swingtet. The first song is Bats on a Bridge and the second is Strange Machinations, both by Jonathan Doyle. But these are indeed exclusive special versions for this festival. And Strange Machinations is very different. Great, aren’t they? Next time they should record a special CD for the festival. Great merchandising!!

this is great

This is at Lala's in Austin, correct?

Lala's is such a cool spot. :)

How cute are these lower extremity thinkers!😊

Я голосую за пару #3!

Какой стране повезло иметь такой клуб с такими великолепными танцорами?

Do you consider the lift basic a lilt, or non-lilt style?

Awwww Sailor Mike 😃🥰

Love this! I have a short film of my mother doing the Shag in the 1930’s with a very tall man from Japan that was attending the University and was a friend of her cousin.
