The Junior Shag Dance Team is a group of Carolina Shag Dancers who travel competing and performing all over the world to spread the dance they love while keeping its deep-rooted traditions and rich history alive.

The Junior Shag Dance Team is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and was founded in 2008 by Brennar Goree. The team is choreographed, coached, and managed by Michael Norris, Ashley & Tobitha Stewart, and Kayla Henley. Amanda Rusmisell is the Team Social Media Coordinator and Debbie Brown is the Team Treasurer.

The members range from 12-17 and live in North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia and Florida. Practices are a logistics nightmare sometimes, but everyone chips in and helps. In short, our team is a close-knit family. We're there for each other.

Why does our group stand out from the rest? Our dance team is not only special for their skill or aptitude, they are special because they highlight a dance most viewers at home will have never even heard of or seen or seen. The Carolina Shag is a dance founded in the ‘50s on a beach somewhere close to the Carolina Grand Strand. At its core, shag is a family-oriented community with dancers ranging from 4 to 94 with an emphasis on supporting the youth, while paying the utmost respect to the Hall of Fame elders that founded our great dance.

Aside from their sense of purpose and duty to their community, the kids can flat out boogie! Since 2008, the team has been 7-time US Open Formation Team Champions, 8-time USA Grand National Team Champions, the Australian Open Formation Team Champions and the French Open champions.

Our message: simple. Boooooogiiieeeee Dowwwnnnnnnnnn!
