A Shuffle-Con Recap
Welcome to a special recap episode of The Shuffle Curious Podcast! I'm thrilled to share this experience from the FTS Shuffle Convention (ShuffleCon), an event that brought shufflers from all corners of the nation to downtown LA. Our culture flourished at this event and many are still cherishing the connections and good vibrations that were created.
ShuffleCon, hosted by FTS, was a melting pot of shuffle dancers, showcasing our culture through different modalities of the dance. It happened on June 10th, 2023, in a secluded warehouse, downtown LA. This visionary event celebrated shuffling as an art form, featuring diverse styles and showcasing talents through a shuffle tournament and performances. 10 different shuffle crews, communities, and professionals were featured with dedicated booths to represent their own unique cultures, along side many other shufflers who traveled to experience the gathering!
ShuffleCon was the only event of its kind in the USA to date and an ode to the vibrant shuffle community. It was an amazing experience that will make a lasting impact on the national shuffle community. Enjoy this recap and break down of what happened on this fateful day!
