I haven't really danced much in years but in college I danced a LOT. I grew up in the Carolinas and down there the dance of choice was the Shag. It's hard to exactly describe the dance but call it a blend of the swing, jitterbug and lindy hop. It's excellent fun.

Alas, there do not seem to be any beach music clubs in the greater DC area and I never learned any other dances. I hate the large clubs with the obscenely loud music and er...modern dancing. Call me old fashioned. :rolleyes:
