Shuffle in the Movies. Tribezone in - Sayang You Can Dance

With the rate the Shuffle is growing, it was only a matter of time before a movie producer recognised it would be great for a feature film to have the Melbourne Shuffle in it.

Malaysian director Bjarne Wong has done just that and enlisted Tribezone to do the deed !!

The movie is called Sayang You Can Dance and is due in the cinema's November 2008. By the look of it, it's a 'dance movie' with lots of eye candy, a love story, some jealousy, and of course, lots of great dancing :) Not to mention the big dance number at the end, where our hero's overcome all odds and pull off that killer move. And from Broadway to Bollywood, these are things dance lovers expect and demand in a dance movie.

Just seeing the Sayang You Can Dance poster art tells me all this :) except what Sayang means? - I trust some of our Malaysian friends will give us an approx English translation ;)

And I'm pretty sure Alicia and others from the Tribezone crew could be persuaded to er...give us some more goss about the movie if we ask them nicely :))) on the new

So very well done Alica and Tribezone Congratulations!! Apart from landing the part, you go down in Shuffle history as the worlds first Shufflers in a feature film !!!

... and just a note to director Bjarne Wong, the movie will sell heaps better if you have LOTS of shuffling ;)

> SHUFFLE CULTURE
Shuffle is 'All about the DANCE'. It's a dance culture, the Shufflers are the focal point. Where as RAVE culture is 'All about the music' it's a DJ culture, where the DJ's are the focal point.

> SHUFFLE RULES
The Shuffle saying 'There are no rules' came from the reality nobody in the oldskool would bother obeying them ;) But here's some general principles we're happy with.

> The Shuffle is based on freedom and mutual respect. Violence, hate, aggression, racism and sexism are not tolerated. The real world has plenty of that, and Shufflers are not interested in them.

> There is no restriction to creative freedom in shuffling. You can Shuffle to Express and Impress.

> The Shuffle can be danced solo or in a group. Both male and female can Shuffle.

> Group Shuffling can be unstructured like at a meet-up or structured in a Crew.

> The Shuffle can be spontaneous freeform or a choreographed style.

> You can Shuffle for fun, fitness, art or comps, or all the above. There are no restrictions.

> There is no limit to where you can Shuffle. In the street, carpark, mall, dance party, at home, outdoors in a forest, a city, a suburb, where ever you want to.

> Individual Shufflers are encouraged to add moves to the artform. Saying the Melbourne Shuffle is just one set of steps, is like saying spinning on your head is the only dance move in hip-hop.

> And who decides which new moves are part of the Melbourne Shuffle? Anybody! It's an inclusive artform. The Shufflers make it what it is.
