The CTY Shuffle refers to a dance that (assumedly) originated at CTY. It is danced to the song Icecream, by Lou Bega. The dance moves are as follows:

After the initial instrumental section ends, begin.

Run forward (2 beats)
Run backward (2 beats)
Right, left, right, left (1 beat each; turn and lean to the side, don't move feet)
Slide right (2 beats)
Slide left (2 beats)
(To the right) Step, step, step, step (1 beat each; don't move, just step)
(To the left) Step, step, step, step (1 beat each; again, don't move, just step)
Freestyle (4 beats; turn 90 degrees to the left by the end)
Step back, back, back, back (1 beat each)

Then repeat.

During 06.2, especially, a lot of beatless people stepped up to dance, and were stepped on during the running section. Nobody got hurt at all, but it was fun to watch the confused looking squirrels (sorry, confused looking squirrels).

Edit: The CTY Shuffle was first taught (to me, at least) at the third dance at Lancaster 05.1. It's really fun :)
