Shag Rag April 2012 Shag Rag April 2012 Vol. XVIII, No. 4 Dedicated to the Preservation of the Carolina Shag and Beach Music PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE by Dave Bushey Ho'olu komo la kaua in Iulai Can you believe it? It’s April! In three short weeks, Shaggers from all over the world will be descending on North Myrtle Beach for the Annual Spring Safari. 10 days of sun and dancing and golf and dancing and golf and dancing. We’ll all need a vacation from vacation! There are quite a few people from NVSC who are still looking for rides and condos. If you’re interested in attending and still haven’t made arrangements, ask your dance instructors or Board members about SOS! And if you’re staying in Northern Virginia, be sure to swing by Icon’s on April 24 th for the Left Behind Party. Members get a free drink (rail or beer). March came and went quickly, didn’t it? First, there was the Save Dancing in Fairfax controversy. The County Board of Supervisors sent the issue back to the Planning Commission and Staff. Several organized Dance Community members, including Gary Mann of our club, are working with government personnel on solutions to be presented to the Planning Commission in the next several weeks. Hopefully, all now know of our concern and interest. Stay tuned, though. We may have to get our signs and petitions out again! In case you haven’t heard, Friday night shagging has moved to Fast Eddie’s in Centreville, and people are really letting loose! We continued our Sunday Socials on March 25 th with a Charlie & Jackie Review at Fast Eddie’s and several hours of social dancing afterward. It’s a great way to spend a spring Sunday. Here’s the monthly contest. “It’s A Beach Thing!” Who sings that song? First to e-mail me wins a free drink. Last month, Mary Camp quickly and correctly recognized Jim Quick of The Coastline Band. In the next several weeks, NVSC has invited several organizations to come to Icon’s and try out their dancing skills. The local UVa Alumni Association, DCHoos, has accepted the challenge, as has Parents without Partners. I hope that each of you will make our guests feel welcome. We’ve also been invited to give a dance demonstration to the Fairfax Co Retired Teachers Assoc! Do you think any of our teachers would recognize their former students – us – these days? Last but not least, there will be a quarterly General Membership meeting on April 17 th. And we’ll have the NVSC Store open for business! It’s also April Birthday night! See you on the dance floor! Hele mei hoohiwahiwa!

Alex Anonymous here, your intermediary for the Shag Rag Pieces – Parts column. While we are fortunate to have a plethora of medical specialists in our area, many of whom have prestigious national and international reputations, the sheer number of names in our insurance handbook can be overwhelming. This is a ‘member exchange’ area for helping one another through our aches and pains. If you’ve had an experience with a doctor in the greater Northern Virginia area or a medical procedure – satisfied with the outcome or not – that you’d be willing to share with another member privately, please email Alex Anonymous your Resource subject, name and contact info. On the other hand, if you’re looking for a specialist in a field, or recommendations for a procedure (e.g., cortisone shots, general pain management, knee replacement, shoulder repair, carpal tunnel, etc.), please email Alex Anonymous with your Search subject, your name and contact info. You request will be listed under a “search” category in the Shag Rag. While most Pieces-Parts “owners” may not care if everyone knows of their medical history, some procedures and medical services may be more sensitive. In order to help keep all exchanges confidential, here is a brand new dedicated email address for this column only: nvscalexanonymous@yahoo.com I will only forward the contact information of Resource person/persons to a Searcher. The Searcher then has the option to contact or not. I will NOT reveal if a Resource’s information has been forwarded to a Searcher. New Search: A Primary Care Physician (PCP) who is accepting new patients. New Resources: HIP/ORTHO MRI LOCATION KNEE/KNEE REPLACEMENT/SHOTS This is not to endorse any particular doctor, clinic, or procedure over another; neither is this the forum to air negative claims against any particular doctor, clinic or procedure.

Oct 7 – 14, 2012 from Tampa, FL; Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan, Grand Cayman SOS at Sea (inaugural event!) Feb 3 – 10 , 2013 from Tampa, FL; Cozumel, Belize, Isla Roatan, Grand Cayman Jim Quick & Coastline, Band of Oz, Tim Clark, Carolina Breakers An Explanation of Shag Competitions By Joan McKinney Thanks to everyone for the warm “welcome home” last month, after Tom Edwards and I won the Non-Pro Division at the National Shag Dance Championships. Our President, Dave Bushey, notes that shag competition is very confusing and asked me to explain it. Hence this article. Shag Competitions fall into two competition “worlds.” One, known as the Competitive Shag Association (CSA), involves a regular, traveling competition circuit, with shag contests held roughly once a month. The other world includes two championship events, each held annually. Competitive Shag Association (CSA) - Travelling Competition Circuit The Competitive Shag Association (CSA) is run by the dancers themselves, in concert with shag clubs and/or bar owners who provide a place for the contests, help pick the judges and pay for the awards. CSA competitors are judged on Smoothness, Repertoire, Execution, Togetherness and Degree of Difficulty. There are 3 CSA divisions: Amateur, Novice and Pro. You must win three Amateur contests before you can move up to Novice, and then win three Novice contests before you can move up to Pro. (If they choose to dance in adult CSA, outstanding Junior Champions – such as Virginia’s Brennar Goree --- usually go straight to the CSA’s Pro division after they turn 20, when they must “age out” of Junior competition.) Tom and I have won three CSA Amateur contests and only one CSA Novice contest, so we’re still a long way from Pro status on the CSA circuit…and we’ve been trying for about 6 years! Almost all the CSA contests are in the Carolinas, and it’s quite a reality check when you first encounter the competition shaggers down there in shag’s birthplace. Tom and I have real admiration for the Virginia shaggers who’ve made CSA Pro. The first to do it were Larry and Shirley Jones of Richmond (he’s a former NVSC DJ), followed by NVSC’s own Craig and Heather Jennings. The other Virginia CSA Pros are Roger Woodson of Roanoke, Ralph and Vicki Tedesco of Richmond (now living in Myrtle Beach), and Earl and Beverly Robinson of Richmond. And, of course, Brennar, who’s from Virginia Beach. Annual Shag Championships The two annual shag championships are run by private individuals, who set the championship rules and run their championship events entirely separate from the CSA circuit – although, in practice, most of the people who choose to compete in the championships also compete on the CSA circuit. One of the championship events is in Atlanta in May – the USA Grand Nationals Dance Championships, which was founded by Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee and is now run by Michael and LeAnn Norris. Shaggers can compete in several divisions at USA GNDC . One of them is the Non-Pro division, where Tom and I won last year, and NVSC’s Cathy Metcalf and Vaughn Royal placed. The Non-Pro division at GNDC is open to competitors who’ve never danced anywhere at the Pro level. The Grand Nationals championship is a one-shot deal: competitors dance only one time, before a panel of 5 judges. The “grand daddy” of the championships is the National Shag Dance Championships in Myrtle Beach. It was founded in 1984 and is the longest-running major shag competition. Barry Thigpen owns and runs Shag Nationals, assisted by an advisory board composed primarily of veteran shaggers with longtime ties to the beach. The Divisions at Shag Nationals are Pros, Senior Pros, Masters (the old-time Beach Hall of Famers), Juniors I and Juniors II, and Non-Pro. The Non-Pro division, where Tom and I danced, is for people who’ve never danced Pro in any competition, so both CSA Amateurs and Novices compete in Non-Pro at Shag Nationals. This year, Non-Pro competitors had to dance five times to win or place at Shag Nationals: Two dances, when a five-judge panel reduced the preliminary field to 6 finalist couples. (Cathy and Vaughn also were among the 6 finalist couples, as were NVSC members Kevin and Joan Byrnes from Richmond.) Two more dances, when a new panel of five judges reduced the finalists’ field to the Top Three. And then one more dance, when placement was decided among the Top Three. Still confused? Eyes glazed over? Blame Bushey. He asked for this! Northern Virginia Shag Club Joan Page 8 Shag Rag April 2012 A sea breeze blows across the sands of paradise. Gulls are gliding effortlessly down the coast. From Main Street the sounds of people meeting is backed up by the rocking rhythm of great music wailing from jukeboxes. If you step into the nearest SOS beach club you will be greeted by the smiling faces of friends you've yet to meet. Everywhere couples are sliding gracefully across the dance floor as their loafers hiss on the hardwood. Welcome to a dance and a way of life that thousands enjoy. Welcome to the world of shag! SOS = Society of Stranders There are a number of elements that together relate the purpose of SOS. First, SOS provides a means to guide shag dancing & the lifestyle that surrounds it into the future while keeping in touch with the past that gave birth to this phenomenon. Second, we always strive to perpetuate the dance, music, and culture that make up the shag. Third, we provide a framework for discussing, planning, & implementing activities at the beach for all stranders to enjoy. This includes providing information to & communication between shaggers, lounges, dance clubs, & associated organizations for the purpose of enhancing the shag experience. SOS Membership Information Come and join over 15,000 SOS Card holders at the largest party at the beach. If you haven’t bought your SOS card through NVSC, you can still join in the fun at the beach.

ACSC member clubs plan, design, & build parade floats for fun & a chance to win one of the coveted awards. There are award categories for best shag theme & most original float. The Spring Safari Parade always draws a huge crowd. Not only will the shaggers be out in force, but the beach locals will stream to the streets for an afternoon of fun & laughter!

Although music and dancing transcends most language boundaries, we thought it might be helpful to begin getting ready for the NVSC Classic-Summer Party with some necessary words and phrases in Hawaiian. The 5 vowels a,e,i,o and u as well as the 7 consonants h,k,l,m,n,p, and w make up the entire Hawaiian alphabet. In the Hawaiian language, a consonant is always followed by a vowel which also means all Hawaiian words end in a vowel. In the Hawaiian language, a symbol directly over a vowel, called a kahakô, indicates that the vowel sound is to be elongated. A apostrophe-like symbol called an `okina indicates a quick pause in the word, as in "ah-ah" for the word a`a. [Note: These Hawaiian vocabulary words have not been written with the use of the correct kahakô markings due to the absence of a Hawaiian Font.] Words/phrases for this month (we’ll add more next month): Makahiki Ancient Hawaiian celebration held annually with sports and religious festivities Ho'olu komo la kaua Please join us aloha Hello, Goodbye Lei garland of flowers, leaves, nuts, or shells ho`okipa hospitality inu drink lama pa'ipa'i cocktail hana hou one more time, encore, do it again wai water lolo numb, feeble minded pupule crazy hehena raving mad, lunatic, possessed lua bathroom, toilet Aia I hea ka lua? where’s the bathroom? Remember the Virginia Gentlemen’s Spring Dance featuring the “Band of Oz” $60 per couple Please contact Sharon Geyer – she is coordinating the NVSC contingent for the party, so we can get our seats/tables close together. See her any Tuesday or contact her: geyermd@yahoo.com for information to mail her the money or use a credit card for payment for your tickets – suggested deadline is mid-March. Tickets are going fast ~ Be sure to get your tickets early You don’t want to miss out!
