Hi, my name is Robert Royston. I’m a five time world champion of country dance working with artists like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley. I really hope that you learn how to line dance and experience what it’s like to move to America’s music, and that’s country music. So one of the things about country line dance is that we have an infusion of other line dances that we do within country line dancing, and some of those line dances are not country music specific, but are widely done in country bars and country clubs all over the United States. One of those dances is the cupid shuffle. Cupid shuffle, not done to a country song, but done in every major country bar all across the United States. So we thought it appropriate to show you the cupid shuffle as part of our line dance series, so here we go. You’re gonna start right, very easy dance. You’re gonna do a little step together, step together, step together to your right for eight counts. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, touch on eight. So don’t put weight on it, touch on eight. The same thing going back to your left, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, touch eight. So, step together, step, all the way through to a touch, then back the other way. Step together, step, all the way through to a touch. Eight counts of heel switches. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and then eight counts of walking to a quarter turn to your left. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, and the whole dance starts over. So the scoots, one, two, three, four, five, six, touch on eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, heel. One, two, three, four, five, six, walk eight times. One, two, three, four, five, six, and it starts again. One, two, three, four, five, six, touch on eight. One, two, three, four, five, six, touch the heel. One, two, three, four, five, six, walk it out. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Super easy line dance, a lot of fun to do, plenty of room for you guys to put your own flavor and style into it. We’re gonna go ahead and try it to music, of course we’re not doing it to the cupid shuffle.
