FOCUS
- This lesson introduces the skating step, a unique foundational movement in Texas shuffle that involves shifting side-to-side like skating to generate power for shuffling.
TIP & TRICKS:
- Keep your feet on the ground without lifting them too much.
- Lean or tilt your body in the direction you are moving.
- Maintain the movement small and underneath your body.
- Speed up the step to move on every single beat for variation.
- Use appropriate shoes to avoid sticking and allow smooth shuffling sounds.
##REMEMBER
- The skating step is a basic element you can always return to in Texas shuffle.
- Focus on maintaining the sensation of skating, especially when traveling.
- Avoid taking big steps to prevent getting worn out quickly.
- This step can be adapted for different shoe types but works best with smooth-soled shoes.
