When We Dance |
Mon, Tues 7:00pm (Shag Lessons) |
You’ll
find that the Raleigh Shag Club has made a new home at TJ’s Night
Life on Leigh Ave. They have their social here on the second
Sunday of the month at 6:30pm. Sundays are DJ and hot dog days at
TJ’s. This large, new shag location with an awesome 1400 sq ft
wooden dance floor, is a membership only club.
The approx. 28’x 50’ dance floor is the
focal point of the club. There is limited seating next to the dance
floor but there are tables out near the bar areas.
A separate stage is setup on one end of
the dance floor
nearby the DJ booth for live
entertainment. TJ’s is also the new home of Rayz Deck Party every
Thursday night at 9pm featuring Carolina
Beach Music’s top bands. There is an extra admission charge for
band nights, $8 for members and $10 for
guests of members, but along with the band entertainment, you get
free hamburgers and hotdogs right off the grill, cooked while you
watch and chat. There are usually around 300 people on a Thursday
night, including shaggers from other nearby clubs like Capital Area
Shag Club, Chatham Area Shag Club and Eno Beach Shag Club. Rotating
DJ’s play the tunes before the band begins and during the breaks.
Smoking is allowed inside the building. Seating for about 200
people. There is a theater size TV screen for viewing in the lounge
area and 2 bars with friendly wait staff. Monday and Tuesday nights
are shag lesson nights with Don Bunn. $2.50 for a beer and $1.75 for
a soft drink. TJ’s also has other special event nights during the
week and on Sundays and has been host to several fundraisers for
some of the members of the beach music family in need.
Really great place to shag and hear top entertainment play the music we love, and the grilled burgers, dogs and pork chops “ain’t bad either”.
