"Cajun" shuffles make reference to the fact that you will not "double-time" the beat and race through the shuffles. this dance has a fun, Cajun pulse (the same one you hear in Louisiana Hot Sauce). On *, your body will turn at a slight angle on the hitches, making it very comfortable to do the paddle turn at the end. You should think of the timing as "1,&,2,&,3,&,4,&" throughout the dance. |
