Question 1

What is shuffle dance...?

Accepted Answer

Shuffle dance has many sub-styles, but the main two are melbourne shuffle and cutting shapes.  Melbourne shuffle is more grounded, focussing on the running man, t-step, glides, spins etc.  Cutting shapes is bouncier , focussing on steps like the charleston, criss cross, scissors etc.

Question 2

What music is it danced to...?

You can shuffle to any music, as long as it has a strong beat!  BUT shuffling is typically done to EDM (electronic dance music) genres, the kind you would
 hear at raves & festivals... such as house, techno, trance etc.

Question 3

Do I need previous dance experience...?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not!  I started with zero dance experience and am confident that
 anyone can learn to shuffle!  So whether you’re brand new to dancing or already a dancer & want to try a new style... these classes are for you!

Question 4

What should I wear to class...?

Accepted Answer

Shoes (usually trainers) should be lightweight and supportive, with medium grip.  Clothes should be whatever you feel most comfy and unrestricted to dance in!

Question 5

Can I park at the studio...?

Accepted Answer

Yes!  There is a (small) car park directly opposite the studio that you can use if you're driving in.  If you're coming by public transport, the studio is about a 15 minute walk from temple meads and 25 minute walk from the bus station.

Question 6

Extra Info...

Accepted Answer

BRING WATER!  we’re going to be working up a sweat...!  Shuffle is quite a high impact dance style, so if you have any pre-existing injuries please just bear that in mind :)
