Shuffle dance is a fast-paced, foot-focused street dance that was born in Melbourne, Australia in the 1980s. It is often danced to EDM, Techno and House. Shuffle is a fun way to move, and it improves coordination and especially strengthens the leg muscles. Iida’s Shuffle classes have an encouraging and cheerful atmosphere.
You do not need any previous dance background or Shuffling experience for this workshop for beginners. We learn the basics of the Shuffle step by step together through repetitions and choreography. The workshop teaches the basic steps of Shuffle, e.g. running man and t-step, as well as choreography to different tempos.
Please bring indoor shoes or sneakers as well as a water bottle with you to the class.

Iida Aalto
Iida is a 25-year-old shuffle dancer and teacher from Turku. Iida started learning shuffle by herself with the help of YouTube videos and by attending a few workshops. Later, she started taking various online courses and private lessons from teachers around the world. Her style is a mix of Melbourne Shuffle and Cutting Shapes styles.
Iida’s strength in shuffle is especially technique, as she has spent a lot of time improving the different moves. She likes to break movements into pieces and study them. This is also reflected in her teaching style, as the classes go through the movements step by step and focus on practicing the correct technique. The classes involve a lot of repetitions, without forgetting to have fun.
The most important thing to Iida as a teacher is a supportive atmosphere and that everyone has a safe space to learn new things.
