BEGIN AGAIN!
Note: This dance will work to any West Coast Swing - Preferably a slower tempo. This dance was originally designed as a West Coast Swing exercise, and has been reworked to give the dancer a true Swing/Shag feeling. Music called “Beach Music” would be very nice for this, which is the reason
for “Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again” by The Fortunes. Other classic tunes would include “My Little Red Book” by The Tams or “I Love Beach Music”. Just for everyone’s information, the song “Shaggin’ On The Blvd” by Alabama is in no way, shape or form a Shag!!! It is a Cha Cha, plain and simple!
