Videos showing how to do:
Side Shuffle
“Side Shuffle” was taught on Tuesday 17/04/2024 in the dance “Sleepwalker”
You’ll be taken to YouTube to watch this video as it’s unable to be played on other websites
Although this video is in Chinese there are English subtitles. I think it demonstrates quite well how to do the various types of shuffle steps
Side Shuffle Rock Back Recover Forward (can also be called Lindy Step)
“Side Shuffle, Rock Back, Recover Forward” was taught on Tuesday 17/04/2024 in the dance “Sleepwalker”
This video shows how to do the various shuffle steps but also shows how to do side shuffle, rock back, recover forward.

“1/4 Pivot Turn Left” was taught on Tuesday 05/03/2024 in the dance “Remix Of Love”
I’ve included 2 videos for this step as, in one,the instructor turns on the flat of her foot
