Sidewalk shuffle

Well known dance routine, performed usually on the street. It happens when two people coming in from opposite directions realize that they are trying to walk through the same place. Then they both step to a side, while keeping their relative position. Afterwards, they repeat the same maneuver, alternating sides.

But how about "pavement shuffle"? (We don't say "sidewalk" in my neck of the woods.)
