1. While shagging, the dancers count to six. One and two, three and four, five, six. The first two steps are triple steps, followed by a rocking motion step. The male or lead starts on the left foot, and the female starts on the right foot.

2. The Big Apple building is a former Jewish synagogue. It was named the House of Peace Synagogue in 1907, when it was still the synagogue. Once it was no longer used as a synagogue, it became the Big Apple Club. While it was the Big Apple Club, it was an African American dance club.The inside has a dome in the top, with a stained glass image with the star of David in the center.Today it is just called the Big Apple, and is now a part of the Historic Columbia Association. Some people use it for weddings today. The front of the building reminds me of the Greek Revival style because it has two columns on the front, held up by the post and lentil design. The roof meets together at one point, which also reminds me of the Greek Revival style.

3.  The Carolina shag came from the Charleston dance and originated in the 1930s in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. Although it is the state dance of North and South Carolina, it first began in South Carolina. The Carolina shag is more about the movement of the feet instead of the movement of the hips. It is usually danced to beach music, and only consists of six steps.The Carolina shag became our state dance in 1984, many years after people began dancing the Carolina shag.
