Do you happen to have a local perspective or legend on this, Angel?

Knowing nothing about this at all, I still felt it was my responsibility to find an answer! Here is what I have found:

The dance: “Shuffle Off To Buffalo”, consisting of a brush, hop, shuffle, hop and flexion of the opposite knee. http://www.dancespirit.com/backissues/feb01/ontap.shtml[see "Litterally Speaking" in the middle of the page)

It came from the 1933 Harry Warren/Al Dubin film-musical classic about a Broadway dancer who goes from chorus girl to star one fateful opening night. http://www.musicals101.com/1930film.htm (see 42nd Street at the bottom of the page)

Does this answer your question? [very confused-e]
