What's this - 'St Louis Shag' at Jamboree?!
Fun, fast, and easy to pick up, SLS dance is seeing a resurgence all over the Jitterbugging world. A little bit like Lindy Hop, a tiny bit like Charleston, quick to pick up and a dynamic and distinctive dance in its own right, join us at Jamboree and slip another dance under your belt!

St Louis Shag is an aerobic dance, so we recommend you wear comfortable clothing suitable for moderate exercise. Bring a spare pair of shoes if in doubt - flat tennis shoes with a cushioned insole are good, but everyone has a preference.
Bring a small towel and wear a couple of layers in case things get sweaty!
