You first start with a four count of shuffling and moving to the left. The song goes "to the left, to the left, to the left, to the left". In these 4 steps you will move to the left with a shuffle and glide to the left. It's that simple, you will want to put some style and rhythm into your glide just to get a better effect. Now, repeat the same exact move, but this time move to the right again use the four count. The song goes "to the right, to the right, to the right, to the right."

The next series of moves include kick your feet forward in a heel toe action. Start with the right foot and thrust it forward with your heel touching the pavement and your toes pointing towards the sky. Quickly switch to the left foot. And then repeat this in a four count, with each kick completing one count. The song goes "now kick, now kick, now kick, now kick."

The last move of the Cupid Shuffle is the "walk it by yourself" move. This is basically a walk it out dance step which allows you a lot of creativity and freedom. The dance step is simply a two-step forward motion with a 360 degree step-by-step spin. The song goes "walk it by yourself, walk it by yourself, walk it by yourself, walk it by yourself."

Cupid Shuffle is as easy as that. This is one of the latest dances to hit the scene and you will impress your family and friends at the next gathering or party when you show them what you got on the dance floor. Now get out there and move to the left, then move to the right, now kick, and walk it by yourself!About the Author: Ant Onaf is a content producer in association with LearnClubDance.com (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.learnclubdance.com),">http://www.learnclubdance.com),</a> an online retailer which sells DVD and video sets so you can <a href="http://www.learnclubdance.com">learn to dance</a>.Article Source: <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/">ArticlesBase.com</a> - <a href="http://www.articlesbase.com/music-articles/how-to-do-the-cupid-shuffle-dance-417747.html" title="How to Do the Cupid Shuffle Dance">How to Do the Cupid Shuffle Dance</a>
