Sam West has been thrilling eager crowds around the nation with his scorching dancing routines since he was in his 20s. Lisa, his wife, is an equally skilled dancer. They have collectively garnered a surprising variety of awards and distinctions in their respective fields of work.
Sam is an expert in the shag and South Carolina’s recognized state dance. Since he was nine years old and would practice the moves with his mom, he has been focused on improving this dance.
This extremely energizing art form’s roots can be found in dances like the Little Apple and the Carolina Jitterbug. However, Africa is where the shag actually has its roots.
The term “shag” didn’t come into use until the 1960s. Shag dancing competitions didn’t begin until the 1970s. The 1989 film shag, starring Phoebe Cates and Bridget Fonda, was even based on the fad.
Sam and his daughter Sydney put on a stunning performance for the audience and judges at the National Shag Dance Championships. It is clear why they dominated the competition.
