Description

The Shuffle / Running Man is one of the most important move you will master because it is the foundation for many other hip hop moves. Learn and master this dance move in this 9 lesson comprehensive course.

Layers Upon Layers

In this course, you will learn that a proper shuffle / running man is not just a simple running moment but layers upon layers of moves. Ceech will teach you this move progressively by starting with a simple jumping jack; slowly, he will make minor adjustments to incorporate knee raises, doubling, arm variations, and free style combos. Most importantly, Ceech will teach you how to stay on beat. By the end of the course, you will learn to incorporate all of these layers of moves together.

Repetition is Key

The more you practice, the more natural you will look. The course is designed for you to practice each lesson multiple times.

Explanation Videos & Exercise Videos

With over 20 years of teaching experience, Ceech explains the key elements of each exercise video as well as many potential pitfalls and/or mistakes that most beginning students might make. You will watch each explanation video before watching and practicing to its respective exercise video.

Who this course is for:

  • Anyone who wants to dance and do the running man / shuffle.
  • If you stand by the bar/wall when your friends are having fun on the dance floor, this course is made for you.
  • If you have tried taking a dance class but the teacher doesn’t really know how to break down the move, then this course is for you.
  • If you have already looked on YouTube for “shuffle” or “running man” videos and you still cannot do it, then this course is for you.
  • If your dance teacher taught you a bunch of dance moves but never taught you how to stay on beat, then this course is definitely for you.
  • If you think you know the “shuffle” or “running man”, but not quite sure, then this course will make sure you definitely know how it is done.
  • This course is designed for absolute beginners who have zero to very little dance experience.
  • If you are looking to learn hip hop choreography, this is NOT the course for you.
  • If you think that just by watching without actually practicing, then this course is NOT for you.
