Junior SOS 2022 Update
The Junior Shag Association is actively planning for this year’s Junior SOS. We are excited to celebrate the 31st anniversary of the largest junior dance event in the world! The 2022 dates for Junior SOS are July 12-17th.
In order to honor the history and traditions of our past, we must thoughtfully prepare for the future. To set up all generations for success, The Board will finalize this year’s Junior SOS plans under the guidance of the most up-to-date healthcare standards. The format (in person or virtual) will be announced in April.
If we are able to have an in-person event, the OD Beach and Golf resort will be our host for this week-long event.
Please follow our social media for the most up-to-date information and announcements.

2022 Eddie Monsour/Dewey Kennedy Scholarship
The Eddie Monsour/Dewey Kennedy Scholarship Fund was started in 1996 in memory of Dewey Kennedy who probably loved the dance, junior shaggers, and the camaraderie as much as anybody around. Eddie Monsour was added due to his many contributions to the juniors that keep our dance alive. Although the idea and the original funding for the scholarship were started by CSA dancers as a way to honor and remember Dewey, the means to fund the scholarship each year comes from various groups, individual contributions, and fundraisers.
Deadline for application is January 28, 2022

2021 Junior Shag Association Scholarship Application is now closed for 2021. Thank you to all that applied. We will announce the winner this summer at Virtual Junior SOS!
February 5th, 2021 - Junior SOS 2021 Update:
It is with deep regret and sadness that we announce the cancellation of Junior SOS 2021. This was an incredibly difficult decision, as this is truly the highlight of our year. Due to the significant impact and continued threat of COVID-19, we believe it is in the best interest of all participants to cancel the event this summer. The health, safety and well-being of our dance community is our top priority. Please stay tuned for more information on Virtual Junior SOS, July 13-18, 2021. The Junior Shag Association Scholarship will still be awarded for 2021 and the application will be updated on the website soon.
