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.
