Meet Your Coach
Hi, I’m Alex Kennedy, your Shuffle and Mindset coach here at Shuffle S.H.R.E.D!
I started my shuffle journey in 2019 after watching dancers at Ultra Music Festival who were moving with a deeper connection – to the music, to themselves, and to each other. I needed to feel that.
But learning? That was another story. Tutorials had no real information, I had no feedback, and frustration was my dance partner for way too long.
By summer of 2020, after FINALLY finding education from reputable educators across the globe, I realized something: I personally had a way of breaking things down that nobody else did. A way to help people not just understand movement intellectually but actually feel it in their bodies. So I started teaching. And I haven’t stopped since.

What To Expect Inside of Shuffle S.H.R.E.D Education?
I don’t just teach you moves – I teach you how to think for yourself as a dancer. My coaching is built on three core pillars:
🧠 Mindset First – Every course includes mindset modules, and my membership has live coaching where we tackle the beliefs that hold you back. Because progress isn’t just about “more practice” – it’s about how you think while practicing rewiring the way you think about yourself, your creativity, and your potential. I believe that shuffle dancing is 50% mindset. Learning something new takes confidence. Freestyling takes courage. Expressing yourself fully? That’s deeper than just movement. Shuffle dance is a connection to who you truly are.
🎨 Freestyle & Creativity – I don’t want you to copy me. I want you to find your style. I teach concepts, foundations, and creative exploration so you can dance in a way that feels authentic to you. Experimentation > Perfection.
💃 Groove & Full-Body Expression – Shuffle isn’t just fast footwork. It’s dancing with your whole body. In every course, I make sure you develop flow, musicality, and a strong foundation – because that’s what makes a dancer truly stand out.
WHAT STUDENTS SAY
"So grateful to have you in my back pocket. The Shuffle Shred On Demand program is like this constant thing that's always there for me to can rely on. I can just open it up and know I'II find exactly what I need at that moment.
It takes away the resistance that comes from "what should I do" "I don't know what to work on" "how can I make this better". And it doesn't matter how low 1 feel going in, I ALWAYS feel 1000x better going out. Powerful stuff. THANK YOU."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"The way you drill moves is super helpful and valuable. I have taken classes with people who do it once and then move on. By the time it's over I can't remember what I was supposed to do/what it looked like/ end up searching on YouTube etc.
I really think the way your classes are structured is fantastic and so so beneficial to learning and actually picking it up!"

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
"I have been doing Shuffle Shred for about a year & I’m absolutely thrilled with my results and how much. I’ve learned in that time period! When I started I knew almost nothing about shuffling and now can hang in the intermediate classes. Alex is constantly helping us level up. I started shuffle shred at a time in my life when I was feeling really uninspired to keep going to the gym and wanted a way to move that actually made me happy, and I found that and more with shuffle shred! Alex is the BEST teacher."

WHAT CLIENTS SAY
“Not only an amazing coach, but a friend."
"I first started 1:1 coaching with Alex in Nov. 2020. I was so nervous for the first lesson but Alex was so welcoming & made me feel 100% comfortable right off the bat! One thing I really appreciated about our lessons was DETAIL! Alex really cares about explaining everything as clearly as she can, and always elaborates when I have questions. She also takes the time between lessons to see if I had extra questions or needed feedback. I HIGHLY recommend Alex's 1:1 lessons if you want customized and personable lessons tailored to you."
