Welcome

Welcome to the web site for the Eastern North Carolina Shag Club (ENCSC).  We invite you to browse our site and enter the fun-filled shagger's lifestyle of Eastern North Carolina.

History

The Eastern North Carolina Shag Club (ENCSC) is a "non-profit" dance club founded in 1985.  Our club is a member of the Association of Carolina Shag Clubs, an organization of over 100+ non-profit shag clubs stretching from Baltimore to Miami, and pushing further West every day as the fin-filled shagger's lifestyle is experienced by more and more people.

Who We Are

The Eastern North Carolina Shag Club is an organization that enjoys, upholds and perpetuates the traditions of rhythm and blues beach and shag music, and shag dancing.  Most of our members belong to the 40+ "baby boomer" era, but we encourage and support dancers of all ages to come join and see who we are. 

Where We Meet

Currently, the ENCSC "home base" is the City Hotel and Bistro, Greenville Boulevard, Greenville, NC where we meet every Sunday evening to socialize and dance.  Our business meeting is held the first Wednesday of each month at 7:30 pm at the City Hotel.
