Optimist Club of Colonial Heights

5-Week Intermediate Carolina Shag Dance Class Series

Move beyond memorized patterns and into the flow of Carolina Shag with a focused class series at the Optimist Club of Colonial Heights. Tailored for dancers who already command the fundamentals and want a more disciplined, in‑depth approach, this training examines partner dynamics so two people move as a single, connected unit. The method frames lead and follow as a nonverbal conversation based on clear physical suggestions and attentive responses, building an intuitive attunement between partners. Participants will refine the smooth, grounded glide associated with seasoned Shag, cultivate a quiet, level upper body, develop balanced connection through equal and opposite tone, and sharpen precise, fluid travel within the slot. To help advanced material shift from conscious effort to muscle memory, the curriculum follows a rhythm of introducing complex sequences, then dedicating time to review and integration. The aim is an effortless state where technique recedes, the music takes center stage, and the partnership feels natural and unforced. Best suited for experienced Shag dancers seeking to deepen technique, connection, and aesthetic quality.

Travis Tritt

Travis Tritt brings his Southern rock infused country sound to Altria Theater with special guest Tyler Reese Tritt. More than three and a half decades after getting his start, the Marietta, Georgia native continues to play to packed venues and remain a favorite among country fans around the world. Early days on the honky-tonk circuit helped shape a style rooted in Southern rock, blues, and gospel, leading to a move to Warner Bros. in 1989. Over the following decade he released seven studio albums and a greatest hits collection for the label, and his 1990 debut Country Club and a string of hits placed him among the standout 1989 cohort of country artists alongside Garth Brooks, Clint Black, and Alan Jackson.
