“If you want your local community to grow… You need to start teaching.”
That’s what a fellow shuffler told me in 2022. Once I finally tried teaching in late 2024, I never looked back.
My teaching ability goes beyond my experience as a shuffler. With a qualification in Pilates instruction and budding career in communications, I bring a strong foundation for training students in this intricate footwork dance style.
I get such joy from teaching cutting shapes and other shuffling styles, and truly hope others will join me in growing the Sydney shuffling community.

What my students are saying
“Learning to shuffle was a 20-year dream of mine, and from the moment I reached out to Ariel, I felt so supported and confident to show up as a complete beginner. Ariel’s energy is encouraging, inclusive and fun, and she has such a beautiful step-by-step way of breaking each move down so you feel safe to learn, let go and surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. I’m so excited to keep upskilling, growing and taking my new moves out onto the dance floor.”

“Thanks Ariel for your fabulous shuffling classes. I've been to 3 beginner classes so far and have learnt lots of new moves and can feel myself progressing. The classes are fun and energetic and the moves are broken down so they are easy to learn. I love that we can put a few moves together by the end of the class. I'm looking forward to the next class.”
