Hey! My name is Genie, and I'm a shuffle dancer based in Bristol, UK.

I started shuffling back in the Covid days like many others, and even though I took a few breaks along the way, the love for it never left. About two years ago I decided to actively dedicate myself to dance, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made.

Outside the studio, I balance my full‑time job as an environmental consultant, my time with friends & family. I make sure to train consistently - whether that’s fitness, practice, or exploring new styles. I’m especially inspired by partner dances like West Coast Swing and solo styles such as hip‑hop, house, and K‑pop.

I believe dance builds real confidence by helping you feel at home in your own body. Shuffle dancing, with its upbeat move‑based style, is one of the easiest and most welcoming ways to start1 My mission is to grow a supportive shuffle community here in Bristol and connect it with the vibrant UK and global scene.

I teach beginner shuffle classes on Wednesdays (6–7pm) at Unity Studios BS3 in Bedminster, and an improver class on Tuesdays (6–7pm) at Unity Studios BS2 in Barton Manor.

Can’t wait to meet you on the studio floor! Feel free to reach out to me on instagram, @genie.shuffles.
