Shuffle Dance Improvers

Learners practise higher-level variations, connect steps into smoother transitions and respond to rhythm changes, accents and tempo shifts.

Technical exercises lead into more complex combinations and a full Shuffle and Shapes choreography, consolidating the techniques covered.
