Taught in

Jazz Shuffle, a module of Chachacha & Boogaloo

From the module notes

What This Module Trains 🎯

Flashy shuffles for your Cha Cha Cha or Boogaloo. Simple steps, hard coordination.

The Move 🧠

Jazz Shuffle. It is a shuffle where I cross back and step on 8 and 1, and the cool thing in it is the shuffling, the rotation of the foot, which comes in when you step and turns out as you cross back.

Steps only: 5 6 7, 8 and 1, 2 and 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7, then the other side.

Heel Twist. It is a little bit like your Heel Twist in your Salsa, we are just going to be doing it a little bit differently here.

How the Drill Runs 🔁

Two full runs, closing on the cha cha 1.
Then I drop the numbers: in, out, in, out.
Last time, in and out to the end. Really twist that knee.

Technique Cues 💡

Step in, and the hips rotate with it.
In, out, step.
Heel in first, then twist out.
Flat shoes on your heel, high heels on your toe.

💡 Drill it: Slow first, then from a basic with the music.

🎯 Community

Practice without judging yourself. Every dancer started exactly where you are. Be patient. This lands in the body over months, not days. Record yourself. You will see things you cannot feel. Post it in the community tab, or on Instagram tagging the page.
