  1. soft-shoe shuffle

    The soft-shoe shuffle is a style of dance that originated in the United States in the mid-19th century. It involves light, percussive tap-like steps and the use of slides and heel-and-toe actions, all performed while making little noise. The dancer typically wears soft-soled shoes, hence the name. Metaphorically, soft-shoe shuffle can also refer to avoiding commitments or dodging a question by skillfully maneuvering around it like a dance.
