Iida Aalto: Shuffle Workshop for Beginners / Sat 7.3.

Description

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 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.
