How to do the shag: Watch this video to learn the basic moves of South Carolina’s state dance. Now, turn on some beach music, recruit a partner + count out the steps: One-and-two, three-and-four, five-six. Try it out before you head to the festival.
Put on your dancing shoes + snag passes to the event, which are $15 for daily admission and $40 for a weekend pass.
