Dating from the first decades of the 20th century and originating in vaudeville and the music hall, the soft-shoe shuffle was danced by tap dancers wearing soft-shoes instead of their normal tap shoes. In this usually comic dance, the shoes were rubbed on the surface of the stage producing a characteristic “swish”. Soft-Shoe Shuffle can be made into a percussion feature by bringing the sand paper blocks to the front of the stage with added choreography, if required! A wonderful piece of musical humor for your concerts.
