Originating in the clubs of New York and Chicago in the late 70s, House originally takes its inspiration from a number of disciplines including, Tap, African dance, Latin & Martial Arts.
Throughout our Shuffle Dance Classes, we make the connection between the style of House & its more modern relative - shuffle dance.
House and shuffle dance are social dance styles; so whether you are wanting to sharpen up your club moves, develop footwork and rhythm, or just sweat and have fun whilst learning something new, this course is for you.
