– Dedicated to Collegiate Shag in Bristol –
WORKSHOP ☝️ 😋
From Monday 24th - A Five Week Introduction
Join us in Bristol for a five-week Collegiate Shag workshop from March 24 to April 21. Our goal is to give you the tools to dance socially and inspire you to keep practicing this uniquely Bristol swing dance.
We’ll be going from the basic step addressing the musicality, the structure, the technique and touching a little on the history as we go.
Bianca Ward & yours truly, Rob Starbuck will be your teachers in the roles of Follow and Lead. We will be inviting feedback in all directions. We hope to make this a safe space for mistakes.
We’ll be balancing students numbers by role. You can sign up as a lead, or a follow, or if you’re happy in either role, you can let the class numbers decide.
This is our first swing at bringing Bristol's shag scene back to the glory days of 2018. We really hope you can join us in this restoration.

Yes, it’s a little late in the day to be advertising this. Yes, I feel I’ve let the team down. Yes, if you could put the word out you would be forever in our gratitude.*
The shag needs you.
