Boogie Woogie at Beach n’ Boogie


With our 19th Annual Beach n’ Boogie Weekend quickly approaching, there is no better way to get fired up and ready than learning about Shag Dancing!



Where Did It Originate? | Funny you should ask! Shag Dancing, otherwise known as The “Carolina Shag” was born along the coast of the Atlantic Ocean near Ocean Drive in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina. For those of you that do not know, North Myrtle Beach is just right up the road from Ocean Lakes Family Campground.

Who? | Lifeguards, waitresses, and other young adults are the ones who are credited with starting the Shag in the Grand Strand. The basic step for this upbeat, quick and smooth dance is a six-count, eight-step pattern danced in a slot. Anyone can do this dance, whether you are 5 years old or 100 years old!


Learn To Shag! | Judy Duke will be conducting lessons on Saturday. She is in the Shag Hall of Fame, Living Legend of Shaggers, National and Grand National Shagger Judge, and a Pro Dancer. For those of you that have been shagging on the beach for years, you may recognize her from Fat Harold’s in North Myrtle Beach, where she teaches every Thursday.



Minute With Mallory | Tune in tomorrow to catch Mallory dancing the Shag! She will be showing you the basic steps and talking about the big event this weekend.

Listen up, Ocean Lakes Campers, we hear you! We know that sometimes the Wi-Fi speed in the campground can be a little frustrating. We listened to you, we heard you, and we are making some big changes that we hope makes Campsite Wi-Fi better. How? We are rolling out a NEW Wi-Fi Tiered Program on Monday, April 8 th . Yes, we will still have FREE Wi-Fi! But we will offer some upgrade options tailored to meet camping guests’ data speed needs (what a tongue twister!). Now with campsite guests logging into the Wi-Fi system, we have locked down the system saving the Wi-Fi access points and data speed. We need to make one thing crystal clear: This new system helps data speed - Signal reception may still be a challenge for some campers/RV units.  So, here’s the scoop on Tiered Wi-Fi and the “how to” for when you arrive on your campsite.
