Iida is a 26-year-old shuffle dancer and teacher from Turku. Iida started learning shuffle by watching YouTube videos and attending a few workshops. Later, she began taking various online courses and private lessons from teachers around the world. Her style is a mix of Melbourne shuffle and cutting shapes.
Iida’s strength in shuffle dancing lies particularly in her technique, as she has spent a lot of time refining different movements. She likes to break movements down into pieces and study them. This is also reflected in her teaching style, as she goes through the moves step by step in her classes and focuses on practicing the correct technique. The classes involve a lot of repetition, but 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.
