Collegiate 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. Here?s a taste of the dance: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=GGozR_44Swo
