The Isle of Palms Exchange Club and East Cooper Shag Club will host shag lessons followed by dancing Feb 19.
Shag Lessons will be given by Kae Childs, a well-known, longtime instructor. You can learn to shag or brush up on your skills, then attend the shag dance with DJ John Smith, who has been a disc jockey for 33 years and a founding member of the South Strand Shag Club. He was inducted into The Association of Beach and Shag Club D.J.’s Hall of Fame in 2007.
Lessons, which will cost $10, are scheduled from 2 p.m. to 3 p.m. The dance, also $10, is from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. If you attend “Shagging by the Creek,” you’ll also be able to see the Exchange Club’s new walkway waterfront. This will be a “bring your own” food and beverages event.
