General questions

Start here if you're not sure where you fit

No experience is required. Every step is explained in detail and taught at a pace that matches the level of class you attend. If you're joining us in NYC, start with the intro class. If you're joining us online, start with the Intro Shuffle Course, it's part of your membership and built for total beginners. All you need is sneakers, an open mind, and a willingness to try something new.

If you're in NYC and want a community experience, take the in-person classes at Ripley-Grier. If you're anywhere else, or just prefer practicing on your own schedule, online classes give you that same learning experience through live Zoom classes. Online also has more class types, like shorter combo classes and freestyle training. Every class is recorded, so high-quality replays are always available in your account.

No, but consistency is what turns steps into muscle memory. The weekly classes build on each other, so the more sessions you catch in a row, the faster things click. Miss a week? Just jump back in.

In-person group classes

NYC: Ripley-Grier Studios, Monday + Wednesday

Yes. Monday's Intro to Shuffling class teaches a small set of foundational steps; Wednesday's Beginner Combos class takes those same steps and builds on them. Come to both in the same week for the full progression, or drop into Monday's class alone for the easiest entry point.

Classes are held at Ripley-Grier Studios in Manhattan, most classes take place at the 520 8th Ave location. Your exact address and studio room number are included with your booking, and can also be confirmed at the 16th floor front desk if you can't find it. Wear sneakers and comfortable clothes, and bring water, shuffling is a real workout. Please arrive a few minutes early, class starts at 7:15pm.

Sign up for each class through Shuffle House. Spots are limited and classes fill up fast, so we recommend booking ahead.

Life happens, we get it. If you can't make it, please cancel your spot through the Shuffle House app or site so someone on the waitlist can take it. Cancel more than 24 hours before class and you'll automatically get a class credit to use toward a future class. Cancellations within 24 hours, or no-shows, aren't eligible for a credit.

Online classes

An active membership, a device with Zoom, some open space to move, and sneakers. That's it, no camera required if you'd rather keep it off.

Live classes run at 12pm ET. Which days they fall on changes every month, so check your current monthly schedule for exact dates. Every class is recorded and added to your video library, so missing it live never means missing the content.

Your Zoom link is sent straight to your inbox 1 hour before class starts. You can manage how you receive that link anytime from your account.
