Collegiate shag
The ''Collegiate Shag'' (or "Shag") is a partner dance done primarily to uptempo swing and pre-swing jazz music (185-200+ beats per minute). It belongs to the swing family of American vernacular dances that arose in the 1920s and 30s. It is believed that the dance originated in the Carolinas in the 1920s,〔''The Rebirth of Shag''. Dir. Ryan Martin. ''Vimeo''. 2014 .〕〔“Shag Latest Dance” ''Blytheville Courier News'' (Arkansas) 25 July 1929: 5 (credit: Forrest Outman )〕 later spreading across the United States during the 1930s. The shag is still danced today by swing dance enthusiasts worldwide.
==Name==
"Shag" itself (when used in reference to American social dances) is a very broad term used to denote a number dances that originated in the first half of the 20th century. Today, the term "collegiate shag" is often used interchangeably with "shag" to refer to a particular style of dance (i.e., the dance covered in this article) that was popular amongst American youth during the swing era of the 1930s and 40s. To call the dance "collegiate shag" was not as common during the swing era as it is today, but when the "collegiate" portion was tacked on (as it was with other vernacular dances of the time) it was meant to indicate the style of the dance that was popular amongst the college crowd.
The identification of a particular variant as 'collegiate' probably had its roots in a trend that sprang up in the mid-1920s, where collegiate variations of popular dances began to emerge. These included dances like the collegiate Charleston, collegiate rumba, collegiate one-step, collegiate fox trot, etc.〔Ernest E. Ryan School of Dancing. Advertisement. ''American Dancer'' 1 June 1927: 4. Print.〕〔Collegiate Dance. Advertisement. ''Jefferson Herald'' 14 June 1928: 8. Print.〕 These forms employed hops, leaps, kicks, stamps, stomps, break-away movements, and shuffling steps. The name "collegiate shag" became somewhat standard in the latter part of the 20th century (see swing revival), presumably because it helped to distinguish the dance from other American vernacular dances that share the "shag" designation. Carolina shag, which evolved from a dance called the Little Apple,〔 and St. Louis shag, which is believed to have been an outgrowth of the Charleston, both adopted the name shag—though neither one of them is directly related to the shag that's the focus of this article.〔
