Members of the Charleston Area Shag Society cut a rug at the group's recent Valentine's Day dance. The club, which averages 125 members annually, meets every Thursday at the Charleston Moose Lodge for shag lessons and dancing. Kevin and Dee Twohig (front right) are the group's dance instructors.

Donnie and Terrie Sangid take a spin during a faster song. Beach music is the most traditional for shag dancing, but any song can be used if it has the right beat.
