YOUR TEACHER: Katia Arskaya
Katia started teaching herself to shuffle in November 2018 as a way to connect more deeply with the house music she loves. What began as a hobby quickly grew into one of the biggest passions in her life, and eventually into a love for teaching and sharing the dance with others.

Over the years, Katia has trained with shuffle instructors from across the U.S. and around the world, including teachers from Los Angeles, Austin, Miami, New York, D.C., Russia, Spain, France, and Canada. In 2026, she also attended Shuffleverse in Los Angeles, immersing herself in several days of workshops with dancers and instructors from different styles and backgrounds.

One of Katia’s favorite things about learning from so many different teachers is discovering that there is rarely only one way to understand a movement. Everyone explains technique a little differently, and she brings that into her own teaching by offering students multiple ways to understand weight shifting, rhythm, technique, transitions, and sequencing until something finally clicks in their own body.

Katia has been teaching sold-out Shuffle series at Mishana Philly since January 2025, and more than 200 students have now come through her beginner classes. Watching people go from their very first Running Man to confidently dancing full sequences has become one of the most fulfilling parts of her life.

And somewhere along the way, the classes became much more than classes. Students have become friends, going out together, practicing outside the studio, and even traveling to festivals as a shuffle fam.

For Katia, dance is a way to get out of the head and into the body, connect with music, and experience movement more fully. She is passionate about continuing to grow the shuffle community in Philadelphia and creating a space where people can learn and challenge themselves, let loose, sweat and experience the joy of moving together in sync.
