It's impossible to watch this without smiling — seriously! Charlie Womble and Jackie McGee have been dance partners for more than 30 years, and when you watch them in action it's clear they have something special. Since 1981, they've competed in over 300 competitions together, going undefeated for a dozen years. They won the National Shag Dance overall competition nine out of its first 10 years, and were the only couple who won the title for seven consecutive years. Despite being in their 60s, they still manage to boogie better than most.
In the viral video below, Charlie and Jackie impress everyone in the room — and on the internet — with their Spotlight Dance at ShagAtlanta 2013 ACSC's Summer Workshop. Dancing to the groove of "Be Myself Again" by Eric Benet, the effortless couple is captivating to watch. YouTube commenters applaud the duo for pulling off a routine that's both fun and classy, with just the right touch of sexiness.
Shag dancing is a couple's dance in the same vein of swing. It's a "slotted" dance, meaning the dancers move in a straight line while keeping footwork close to the ground and the upper body movements to a minimum.
These two truly prove age is just a number! Please enjoy their awesome performance, and SHARE it with your friends on Facebook!
