Monday Night Shuffle
South End Studio, Burlington
Nov 3rd – Dec 8th
7-8pm
$68
Join this 6-week shuffle dance series called Monday Night Shuffle! It will be at South End Studio in Burlington, 7-8pm, starting on Nov. 3rd. It’s going to be a blast, and you’re invited. It’s only $68 for the whole series.
If you don’t know, shuffle is a fast-paced, up-tempo style of dancing that is focused on what looks like fancy footwork, but when you learn it at a slower tempo, is accessible to everyone. What makes it exciting is when you start to speed it up…that’s when it looks and feels like magic, and it also becomes great exercise. It’s fun to see other people do it, and even more fun to do it yourself while dancing with friends!
If you look online, there are lots of “extreme” shuffling you can find, but what we will working on is more accessible fun…the Shuffle Mamas on Instagram are a good example of what I’m talking about. 🙂
In This Series You’ll:
- Learn the fundamental steps of Shuffle Dance
- Practice short combinations and choreography
- Work up to a fully choreographed routine
- Enjoy dancing as a whole group, as well as in pairs and individually
- Let loose, reduce inhibitions, and move with confidence
FAQs
This sounds fun, but I don’t have any experience? That’s fine! This is geared toward beginners.
Do I need to bring a partner, or can I sign-up on my own? Either. We will be dancing as a big class, and sometimes in smaller groups of two or three people. Definitely bringing a friend would be great. We will be mainly dancing all together in a fun shuffle community.
Do I need any kind of special shuffle shoes? This is a great question. For our class we will be dancing in socks. Of course, out on the dance floor at a concert, in does help to have shoes that can slide easily on the floor and are light, but you can really dance in practically any shoes.
I want to do it, but I can’t come to all the sessions. Can I still sign up? Yes. If you think you can only come to a couple classes, you can sign up for individual classes. Signing up for the whole series is the best if you can do it, though, since we will be moving forward with each new class…but you will still have fun if you can only make a class or two. Go here to sign-up for individual classes. Click the drop-down menu and choose “Monday Night Shuffle,” and choose the class or classes you want to go to.
Will you keep teaching Monday Night Shuffle classes after the six-week series? I hope so! I want to start with this six-week series and see how it goes. My hope is to have a regular Monday night class where we can all go to shuffle, learn new steps, listen to great music, and have fun in a new shuffle community. First, we’ll start with the six-week series.
Whether you’re a total beginner or already love to dance, everyone is welcome!
By the end, you’ll be ready to shuffle at your favorite concert, festival, or night out — and shine like a star on the dance floor. ?
Don’t just stand there — dance!
