About

Hey, I'm Blair

What started as teaching friends to shuffle on Zoom became a full-time calling — leading classes, building community, and making cardio feel like a night out.

My Story

From Friends on Zoom to a Full-Blown Movement

It all started in 2020 when I began teaching shuffle dance to my friends on Zoom — just for fun. During a time when everyone was stuck at home, it became the thing that made us all smile and move.

With my background in personal training and online fitness coaching, I saw the potential to blend shuffle dance with structured cardio conditioning. That's how Shuffle Cardio™ was born — a method that makes shuffle dance accessible, athletic, and genuinely fun.

In 2023, I moved to Miami and started building Shuffle Lab into what it is today — an in-person community, monthly wellness events, and a growing online membership. What started as teaching friends on Zoom for fun in 2020 eventually turned into something much bigger.

The Journey

How We Got Here

2020

The Zoom Era

Started teaching shuffle dance on Zoom — just for fun, just for friends and family. It was never meant to be a business. It was meant to make people smile.

2023

Studio Classes

Relocated and started teaching in-studio shuffle classes — technique, basics, and choreography. It was more industry-focused and more traditional, but I kept feeling like there was something bigger waiting to be built.

2024

Shuffle Cardio™ Is Born

I wanted to create something that made shuffling more accessible — without the pressure of a traditional dance class. Something fun for all levels that didn't take itself too seriously. That's when I developed the first-ever follow-along Shuffle Cardio™ class.

2025

Online, Then Miami

Launched Shuffle Cardio™ online early in the year so anyone, anywhere could join in. Then in June, I brought that energy in person to Miami — and Shuffle Lab as a community was officially born.

Big things are coming. Stay tuned.

The Mission

Why Shuffle Lab Exists

I created Shuffle Lab because I believe movement should feel fun — not like punishment. Dancing is one of the most natural forms of cardio, and community makes fitness sustainable.

🎵

Movement Should Feel Fun

When you're having a good time, you don't count the minutes. That's why our classes feel more like a party than a workout.

💪

Cardio Shouldn't Feel Like Punishment

No treadmill. No stair climber. Shuffle cardio will have you sweating more than any machine at the gym — and you won't even realize you're working out.

💃

Dance Is Natural Cardio

Humans have been dancing since the beginning of time. Shuffle Cardio™ channels that instinct into a structured, effective workout.

❤️

Community Makes It Stick

The reason people keep coming back isn't just the workout — it's the people, the energy, and the feeling of belonging to something.
