The fast footwork and energetic style, as well as a hilarious, easy-going attitude, are the probably most remarkable characteristics of the dance. Shag was originally danced to Ragtime but it was adapted other styles like swing and R&B music. The tempo scale ranges from mid-tempo to upper tempos. Shag can also provide Lindy hoppers with some new ingredients for their dancing.
