Get a taste of the rhythm, energy and freedom of House and Shuffle Dance.
Originating from the underground clubs of New York and Chicago in the late 70s, House Dance combines influences from Tap, African dance, Latin styles and Martial Arts. Over time, its distinctive grooves inspired the upbeat, footwork-driven Shuffle Dance we see today.
