Side shuffle (chassé)
Three quick steps squeezed into two beats, all traveling sideways. Line dancers call it a shuffle; ballroom dancers call it a chassé.
line dance and ballroom · 2 counts
The counts
| Count | Step |
|---|---|
| 1 | step the right foot to the side |
| and | bring the left foot next to the right |
| 2 | step the right foot to the side again |
Tips
- Styling
- Keep the 'and' step light, just enough to free the other foot.
- Easier
- Slow it down to three even counts (1, 2, 3) first, then speed up to 1-and-2.
- The other way
- Shuffle to the left: left, right together, left.
Go at your own pace. Skip any step you'd rather not do.
