Welcome back for another week! Congrats on finishing Week 1. Great job!
Now that we’ve practiced some Shuffle basics (remember to practice!), we can do all kinds of fun steps and combinations with it. This week, we’ll turn Shuffle into Shuffle Toe and learn a combination with Shuffle Ball Change. We’ll learn the step Maxie Ford. Then, we’ll put them together in a fun dance, to the song “Ya’alili” by 8th Day.
Thought for the week:
When you’re dancing, have fun. Smile on the inside, and then let that smile radiate out to the world.
Class 1: Shuffle Ball Change & Shuffle Toe
In the first class of Week 2, we’re going to take the shuffle and do some more complicated and interesting things with it. We’ll learn Shuffle Ball Change, a Shuffle Step-Shuffle Ball Change Combination, and Shuffle Toe. Okay, let’s do it!
Class 2: Maxie Ford & Box Step
In this class, we’re going to learn a step called Maxie Ford, which is like Shuffle Off to Buffalo but adds a “toe.” Then we’ll go over a totally new step, Box Step, which is really fun and useful in all sorts of dances. Let’s get started!
Class 3: Dance Routine #2
We’re at the third class of the week. And you know what that means… We learn a dance routine to a song! This week, we’re doing the song “Ya’alili” by 8th Day.
It’s a fun song that we’re going to use a whole bunch of steps in: Maxie Ford, Shuffle off to Buffalo, Shuffle Ball Change Combination, Shuffle Toe, Shuffle Hop Step, and 3 Shuffles. Wow!
