Many years ago, the Shag was born on the beaches of South Carolina, with songs like Carolina Girls, Myrtle Beach Days, and Give Me Just A Little More Time. Many young men and women danced their days and nights away with the carefree music of the Carolinas, and now you can too!
To harken back to those carefree days, Karen Workman and Roger Carr, local dance pros, will be teaching a four week session of Carolina Shag dance. Shag is now known as the state dance of both NC and SC. It is widely popular throughout the Southeast and danced in several local area shag clubs, including the Mountain Shag Club and the Rutherford County Shag Club. Karen and Roger have spent many years competing, teaching, and coaching Shag dancers throughout the Upstate and Western NC. They have been featured dancers in several Theater shows in the area, including Milltown Players and Tryon Little Theater.
Shag classes will be on Thursdays, beginning March 28 and will run through April 18. The classes will get underway at 6:30 pm in the Tryon Fine Arts Center Pavilion. The four week series will be $65 per person. For more information, contact the box office or visit the website at tryonarts.org.

Everyone is invited to our monthly game night. I bring a group of games each month but feel free to bring your own as well. No specific games are set up for the night, we just bring a bunch of stuff from our collections and play some pick-up games. We have the tables and chairs. Bring your own food if you’d like (there is a microwave and fridge). There is also a Chinese place across the street, a convenience store for drinks and snacks, and we’re in walking distance to Hot Dog World. If you have any questions about the types of games we play and basic info about our group, Read our FAQ (https://www.meetup.com/HendoHometownGameGeeks/about/)
NOTE: This event is held at a church but it is not a church event, it is a community event. Everyone is welcome, everyone should feel comfortable attending, and while I’m always happy to privately answer questions about my faith or the church if asked, proselytizing is not the purpose of these gatherings. I hope the location does not make anyone feel uncomfortable and if you have any questions you can message me directly.
