8 Out and In shuffle%3A Individual Styling

COURSE: The Blues Shuffle

FOCUS: This lesson focuses on applying the out and in shuffle as an independent styling variation, with leaders doing basic steps and leading turns while followers add the variation with relaxed arms.

TIP & TRICKS:

• Keep the swing small and under the body to avoid moving too much backwards and forwards.
• Focus more on the out movement rather than the back swing for easier following.
• Leaders can throw in the shuffle variation for any number of counts, such as eight or four.
• Play with body shape by moving up, down, left, and right to enhance styling.
• Add the out and in variation wherever desired during the dance.

REMEMBER:

• Dancing involves the whole body, not just the feet, so incorporate body styling.
• Maintain relaxed arms to allow for smooth and natural movement.
• Keep the swing controlled to stay in place and follow leads effectively.
• Experiment with body shaping to find what feels good and adds personal flair.
