Our Mission

Underhill's Swing and Shag Dance Collective's mission is to rekindle the social connection and joy of partner dancing by providing accessible instruction, promoting public dance events, and empowering a network of passionate instructors and ambassadors to bring swing and shag back into the heart of our communities. We envision a future where partner dancing is a thriving and inclusive cultural experience, enriching communities through spontaneous public dance events, fostering intergenerational connection, and instilling a lifelong love of movement.

Learn the Tick Tock

"Tick Tock"

This is a Carolina Shag mirror pattern.

Level: Advanced

Beats: 12

Steps: Rock Step / Front Prep / Back-N-Shift / And Stutter Step / And-Tik-Tok / Back-N-Shift / And Stutter Step

Feel the heartbeat of the Shag! We begin with a grounding Rock Step, a gentle ebb and flow that sets the stage. Then, a subtle Front Prep, like gathering momentum before a sweet reveal. The rhythm deepens with a smooth Back-N-Shift, a momentary sway before the playful syncopation of the And Stutter Step tickles your feet. The energy shifts again with the signature And-Tik-Tok, a crisp and charming punctuation mark in the dance's conversation. We revisit the grounding Back-N-Shift, a familiar comfort before the lighthearted And Stutter Step returns, leaving a trail of joyful, quicksilver steps.

Additional Notes: 24-Count Variation - Add Sailors on front and back of the step
