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.

2.27.25 - We taught a pattern we coined as the "Zig Zag". It is a Carolina Shag mirror pattern and counts like: Rock step, front prep (1, 2), back & shift (setup) (3 & 4), kick and step with toe in (5 & 6), zig zag (1, 2, 3, 4), do da (5 & 6), back & shift (7 & 8).


This is a pattern that we taught for our very first Intermediate Swing & Shag Class held at the Colonial Heights Moose Lodge

 In week 2 of our Intermediate Swing and Shag lesson series, we reviewed the move from week one and introduced a new move which is shown here and done to music. We call it Number3, if you come up with something a bit more catchy then we'd love to hear about it!
