Meaning of this "shuffle"

Hi,

Would you explain the meaning of this "shuffling"? I think "shuffle" means basically walking very slowly but it doesn't fit in the context.

He is having his own private party after the hotel bar closes and he's shuffling NBA players and women up to the house.

Thanks,
M
