Dedicated to the promotion and preservation of the Shag dance, and its related music
President's Message
Charlotte Shag Club was thrilled to be back home at Lynn’s Dance Club on April 9th! Shannon and her staff had a fantastic re-opening party, a great crowd, and lots of smiles and happy feet on the dance floor!
The next week was our pre-SOS and “IRS – I’d Rather Shag” party. CSC provided delicious meatloaf and green beans thanks to Social Chairperson Angie Kelly, and our members brought all kinds of southern comfort food to go with it. Smokey Craven had everyone on the dance floor warming up for SOS.
We heard from a few of our Board members – Heather Stewart, Membership Chairperson on joining CSC, Natalie Choate, Junior Shaggers Chairperson reminding us of the Juniors party at Lynn’s May 2nd and the Junior SOS in July, and Susan Denton, Vice President to say she has SOS cards. Sharon Winstead reminded us of all the fun to be had at the Shooter party at Duck’s.
Next up for April was Spring Safari! Lots of great shagging, reuniting with friends and making new friends, and toes in the sand. Charlotte Shag Club once again hosted its infamous Shooter party. We always love having Eddie Anderson DJ at our shooter parties. The food and the shooters were terrific, and the Alice in Wonderland “Down the Rabbit Hole” theme inspired creative costumes from our members and volunteers! Many thanks to Glenna Watts and her team for another smashing success!
On Thursday, May 21st, Charlotte Shag Club’s monthly party will be a Memorial Day Tribute to our fallen heroes. The Club will provide hot dogs, coleslaw, and chili and we ask our members to bring sides and desserts. Gene Hensley will be our DJ and is always a crowd favorite.
Although we are getting a little later start this year, the CSC Board is busy working on more fun stuff for the rest of 2026. Stay tuned! And if you can help Charlotte Shag Club in ANY WAY, please let us know HERE.
Personally, I have seen FIRSTHAND and KNOW we have many gifted, talented, and generous members! Step up this year and do your part to keep our 42-year old club growing and vibrant! I am confident we can find a place where you can best contribute to CSC that makes the most sense, given your interests, gifts, and availability.
Together we will make 2026 an AWESOME year for the Charlotte Shag Club!

Spring Shooter Party 2026 - Following Alice Down The Rabbit Hole
A very special thank you to those of you who helped us escape for a few hours from reality and who volunteered to take a chance and follow Alice on her great adventure. Some great costumes, laughter and fun filled those 2 ½ hours. We missed those of you who couldn’t join us due to illness, injuries or work schedules. You were truly missed.
190 members and associate members of the day really put another shooter party in the books, and our club is so grateful to all of you. Front and Back doors stayed active all afternoon with Grady jumping in where needed. The front door is sometimes so busy that it takes 3 or 4 people just to keep up with the demand. The back door in the beginning is the same way banding all our volunteers and members and signing up new members. We welcomed 3 new out-of-town members to our CSC family.
Sam Moody and Jeff Allen always lead their teams with pouring shooters and serving our party goers a nice buffet. Bob Klimas takes great pictures, and Eddie Anderson plays to our crowd. Thank you to all of you who volunteered.
We’re already working on a theme for the fall shooter party and if you can make it to SOS, please offer 30 minutes of your time to volunteer and make a few memories for years to come.
Let’s Party Til the Lights Go Out!
