Class Description:
Shuffle originated in Melbourne, Australia in the late 1980’s and was danced in the club scene to Electronic Dance music. Over the years shuffling has taken the world by storm from clubs to festivals. Shuffling is known to be inclusive, liberating, spiritual, free of judgment, and true expression. Shuffle Dance connects you with the music you love in a special way. In this class students will learn basic shuffle skills like the running man, and the T-step, while also learning to incorporate their own stylistic movements. Students can expect to learn shorter combos focusing on fundamentals and choreography retention.
Meet the instructor below:
Starting to dance in 2009 with clubs in schools I attended, I eventually found a career in dance in 2021. I’ve always been passionate about sharing my love, knowledge, & passion for dance with others over the years. ShuffleBreak is my unique mixture of Shuffling & Breakdancing. This performance will display both styles of dance as well as moments where they’re mixed together. I’m most appreciative for this opportunity & for those I have the pleasure of sharing the stage with.
