Tap Dancing Basics: Shuffle Step With Cha Cha Cha

Video Transcript

"Hi, I'm Emily Larew, we're continuing on with our tap basics doing shuffle steps with a cha cha cha. So, turning around, we're going to keep our knees slightly bent, and we already learned our shuffle was with two sounds using the balls of your feet, so we've got shuffle, step, you're going to put your foot down right away. Make sure, again, that you're not putting your heel down, a step is only with the ball of your foot. So you have shuffle, step and a cha cha cha is three steps, because you have cha, cha, cha. So, we have shuffle, step, we just used our right foot so we're going to go left, right, left, and what' a cha cha without some hip action, right? So we do it again, shuffle, step, cha, cha, cha, again, shuffle, step, cha, cha, cha. Now you can do it in different directions. We could go shuffle, step, back, front, together. We could do shuffle, step, we can go side, side, together, and shuffle, step, front, back, together, shuffle, step, and cha, cha hold. And then you would reverse it to the other side. So very good! Those are your shuffle steps with the cha, cha, cha."
