Join CSA

Our events consist of a weekend of divisional competition, food, fun, friendships, workshops, awards and prizes primarily throughout North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia. We encourage, promote, and share the love of the Carolina Shag with all age groups.

If you are interested in being a part of our family at a competitive level or you want to come and support your favorite dancers, check our website for schedules and begin to enjoy the dance, the people and the music.
