Charlie Whipple and Jackie McGee have been dancing together for over 30 years. They have played in countless competitions, winning many titles.
According to Reshareworthy, in the first 10 years of the National Shag Dance competition, they won nine times. Shag Dance is based on the Carolina Shag, a six-step, eight-step swing dance that is danced into a lunge.
The couple are now in their 60s, but their emphatic strides and charismatic presence are capable of capturing the attention of the masses. This video of their routine from the Atlanta 2013 Shag competition is no exception.
Charlie and Jackie may be in their 60s, but the way they dance has been described as the way young people in their twenties dance. Before they started dancing, the couple took time to greet familiar faces in the room.
The two have been dancing like they’ve been doing it professionally since their supposed 30s, knowing exactly what their partner’s next move will be before it even happens.
