Tutorial Tuesday: Cupid Shuffle
This will be the final Tutorial Tuesday of 2020. We always used to end classes with the Cupid Shuffle and it seemed like a great opportunity to end the year with it.
The Cupid Shuffle is a really fun little dance - simple to pick up and really fun to do with friends.
It is a great way in to roller dance for those who may be more hesitant.
Look up Cupid Shuffle however you listen to music and you'll find it.
The basic steps are:
4 counts to the right.
4 counts to the left.
4 counts on the spot.
4 counts to turn.
We always used to turn clockwise, but it doesn't really matter - just mix it up!
Even if you are just side stepping, try to get your shoulders involved and develop that all important bounce.
4-count variations for your sideways travel:
V-step
Crab walk
Glide and stop
Downtown
Trot!
On the spot variations:
Bounce
Lift your toe and push your heel out.
Slow toe shuffle
Fast toe shuffle
Turning variations:
Step it round
Bounce it round
Crazy legs to turn
Spin and stop
What variations will you come up with?
