This dance will work to any West Coast Swing; preferably a slower tempo. This dance was originally designed as a West Coast Swing exercise, and has been reworked to give the dancer a true Swing/Shag feeling Music called "Beach Music" is very nice for this, which is the reason for "Here Comes That Rainy Day Feeling Again" by The Fortunes. Other classic tunes would include "My Little Red Book" by The Tams or "I Love Beach Music" Just for everyone's information, the song "Shaggin' On The Boulevard" by Alabama is in no way, shape or form a Shag!!! It is a Cha-cha, plain and simple!
