It's always shuffles but different patterns and sequences.
Are you doing ballchange turns, ballchange toe heel turn or pirouettes to get to the other foot?

it depends on the step. It starts out "shuffles in different patterns" but when we do 3 count riffs we do it with ball change turn, then ball change toe turn, then ball change toe heel turn. There is also one that is like brush and shuffle and scuff and something else with ball change turn.

I'm thinking that may be Grade 4. Is there one that goes Shuffle heel toe shuffle heel scuff, 3 times with a shuffle ballchange turn? Also one that goes Shuffle ho shuffle ballchange with a BX turn? If so then I'm pretty sure it's Grade 4.
