Melbourne Shuffle


Yuki

Recommended Posts

Okay so I found this on the internet the other day and I am way beyond interested in learning it. It's an electro-streetdance, and it looks like this:

That's someone who's been doing this for a really long time, with lots of experience. That'd be hardstyle shuffle.

Some more shufflers

:[omitted because I can only post two videos :c youtube "shuffle vs jumpstyle", pick a video, scroll through the related's!]

It started in Melbourne and is typically danced to hardhouse, hardtrance, and other EDM genres.

I've been watching tutorials online and so far I have down the two most BASIC bits: The Running Man and The V-Step!

I didn't learn from that video, but that'll show you what I'm talking about.

I think it's wayyyy cool, and I fully intend to practice and learn from videos until I can dance at least half as well as that guy in the first video!

Thoughts?

I liek dis.

It almost looks like his shoes have no friction at all.

Are you gonna wear baggy pants when you do this?

If I get good at it I'm going to get phats (the pants you see that guy wearing) and i'll look soooo proooo.

For now though since I'm a total noob I'm wearing like my usual skinnyjeans cuz I need to be able to see my footwork

I've been doing this for a while. I'm by no means good [lol I don't really v-step much if at all] and I usually add in some stuff that's not normally associated with it.

Honestly, doing this with friction being the pain it is, is the hardest part. It's really cool though; and I've watched too many vids on it xD

Hardstyle <3

I occaisionally enjoy doing this type of the Melbourne Shuffle, if it even is a type.

That'd be the Running Man, which is a part of it :3

Update on my progress: I can V-Step, Running Man, Kick, Basic Spin, Backstep, and Transition now w/ lil flourishes and tricks. It's still really rough and I don't think I'd be as proud if I were to practice in front of a mirror, but I've got the concept!

Agreed! it's the only version I enjoyed...although now I tend to find myself dancing to other genres of music entirely, yet still shuffling.

Kicking this topic back into overdrive.

I'm picking up the shuffle and so far I can do simple things like kicking and spinning ( I can't kick-spin while running though )

Also I tend to just lose balance.

The second video Hark posted, helped me a lot. I mean, it probably wouldn't help if you do it faster then the guy inn the video. Just do it like, 3 seconds per move.

Will update and possible video when I am master of this style.

I remember seeing Francis (guy in the first video) shuffle for the first time, it blew my mind and I tried shuffling. Just keep practicing the basic running man and v-step, turn on some 80-140 bpm electro music and go ham when you got it down. Everyone has a different style, it all matters on how you move your feet when you shuffle.
