Saturday 5/30 -
3-4:30pm | Beginner Fundamentals (no prerequisites)
This workshop holds your keys to the kingdom as someone just entering the world of shuffle for the first time. Unlock all of the foundation steps and transitions, and uncover ideas to make these moves your own. You’ll walk out of this workshop with all the knowledge you need to start owning that dance floor at your next show!
(if you already know the running man/t-step, etc, but would like to clean up your technique or learn new variations, you are welcome at this workshop as well!)
4:30-6pm | Techno Shuffle (prerequisites: foundation moves - running man, t-step, charleston)
Move to the music that gets you hyped! This Techno Shuffle class will lay out some fundamentals and steezy flows to help you keep up and look good at the hard-hitting speeds of your favorite artists. We will open with a few new moves to add to your vocabulary (including 2 spins and 2 glides), then move into T-Step & pivot variations to add variety to your flow, and finish off with combos that combine everything, plus a little freestyle practice time so you can feel it all come together fluidly.
Sunday 5/31
12:30-2pm | Beginner Fundamentals (no prerequisites) (this is the exact same class that’s also being offered on Saturday, please choose which day fits your schedule the best!)

2-3:30pm | Beginner/Intermediate Choreography (prerequisites: running man, charleston, and t-step)
Grab a flashlight and get ready to explore a little deeper in this workshop geared toward teaching you priceless concepts like musicality and groove. Discover how to listen to different layers of the music, add personality, and control your rhythm and tempo to add interest and flare.
This class is best suited to those who already know the running man and t-step, or who have a dance/sports background and pick up moves fairly quickly. Modifications will be provided to accommodate a variety of skill levels for this choreo!
