yunaff10 requested the Cupid Shuffle and I also found a great line dance I'd never heard of before, which I show in the next chapter, while writing this.
Jack came off the stage and was mobbed. The big four could tell that he was happy to talk to his fans and was also trying to politely get away."
"Happens every time. The lad has one difficult task, each year after his solos, just to get some breathing room." B. Bedbug commented.
"Well I know a way to help." Tiffa said. She walked around the crowd and headed to the stage. There she whispered something to the band. All the members' heads nodded and, giddily, Tiffa returned to the group.
"What's your plan?" King asked.
"If a line dance just happens to start then the mob will be broken up or forced to move." She explained.
"Giving Jack time to escape." Rubezahl concluded.
"And I'm sure your wish to keep dancing had nothing to do with it." Chesh joked.
"What can I say?" Tiffa shrugged. "That last solo gave my dancing hooves a warm up. I can't stop now."
"After all that dancing you'd think you would be tired."
"Never!"

A slap of a musical clapper cut through the den. A maraca sound that followed turned out to be the whispered words "Cupid shuffle." The reaction was nearly instantaneous the dance floor started to be organized into lines.
Some of the mob around Jack broke away, though most stuck to the winter spirit. That is until the lines started to shuffle right four steps. The mob was pushed and that got their attention. When they turned their heads Jack snuck away. By the time the line shuffled to the left four steps he was gone.
The fans looked around then seem to realize what they had done and meekly merged with the existing lines. As the kids started the light arrivals all fell into step. In the back Jack's friends, both old and new, had a line of their own. Jack landed on the edge right next to Tiffa, as they walked it out he turned he and called "thank you!" back to her.
"No problem, now let's shuffle excavation point" everyone who heard her laughed.
"Follow her lead." Jasper said as the next set started. "To the right, to the right, to the right, to the right." Everyone sidestepped to the right four times. "To the left, to the left, to the left, to the left." Everyone sidestepped to the left four times. "Now kick," everyone kicked out with their right legs. "And kick," out came the left legs. "And kick, and kick, and kick." Back and forth the leg swung out. "Now walk it by yourself." Everyone did a little of their own freestyle.
Jack soaked up the thrill of the dance, and the atmosphere it created. This is how to spend a party night! He thought.
