I can't help but be reminded of the clip of Fred and Bettie Christopherson when I see this. What an awesome contribution. Rest in Peace Megan. A great dancer and a beautiful human being. The world misses you.
I am very sorry for your loss! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ This video is a treasure trove for the dance community and I am glad that it is here, even in its silent form, on KZread.
Ryan--thanks for posting this, and very sad to hear about your loss. From just this video I can tell that Megan had a wonderful spirit and loved to dance. I'm sure she would be happy to know that she is passing that love to the world.

Thank you, Kendrick
Ryan, thank you so much for creating and sharing such incredible and valuable content - this is pure social diamonds, amazing. All the best wishes from swinging germany.
Wow! This is amazing! Specially for people from countries where there isn't a Collegiate Shag scene. Our only way is to learn and practice through videos and this is VERY helpful! Thank you so much for taking your time to put this together. Huge hug from a shagster from Brazil! :D

Wonderful video and all any shag dancer needs for a month of dancing. A great effort by you both and a fine legacy for Megan. However, there is almost no audio anymore, so wonder if it is worthwhile removing the music soundtrack and just having the feet and voice.
