SOS Spring Safari in Myrtle Beach, SC

The SOS Spring Safari is an annual event that brings groovers and shakers to Myrtle Beach. The Society of Stranders throws the shin-dig each year with the help of local clubs. The streets of Myrtle Beach become a heaven for shaggers and swingers.

During the SOS Spring Safari, shagging, a unique dance which started in South Carolina, is everywhere. The young and old participate in this great dance style that hit the scene during the World War II era. By taking an already popular swing dance style and making it into something truly unique and one of a kind for the Myrtle Beach area, the Shagging Dance Style has been a continuous favorite throughout the years.

The streets are alive with music and lights, laughter and greetings during this time making everyone feel right at home. Special events are held during this time as well; not only Shag workshops, but exhibitions and contests.

The SOS Spring Safari is an amazing experience even if you were not around during the birth of this dance craze. The streets are filled with revelry and dancers most in period appropriate costumes. The festival takes place along Main Street, a popular area with the Myrtle Beach night crowd.

Myrtle Beach is an amazing area of South Carolina and the SOS spring Safari makes it all the more amazing. Cool cats and Kittens enjoy the opportunity to put on their dance shows and hit the streets to show off their moves during the festival. Held every year, visitors to Myrtle Beach should not miss out on this event.
