I went to lots of gatherings like this as a child. Looking at it now though, it occurs to me that this type of dancing may have been the roots of the Carolina Shag which I love too. My favorite version of the Shag was the one we used to do in Baltimore/DC which was less footy and more hippy, slower and more sensual, but I never see it done anymore and I haven't found any videos of it. I guess it's gone. Anyway, the Carolina version lives on...
This couple are my favorites, Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee. They've been dancing together since at least the 1980s.
Thanks for posting this, appalachiablue!
