GSD 2011 Singapore

Please note GLOBAL SHUFFLE has nothing to do with the upcoming event GSD 28 May 2011. Singapore.

The organiser, Singapore based SDF//xero aka LexC and zzasserzz has been caught pirating the Melbourne Shuffler (2005) dvd, which I am a partner of.

We have found this guy cannot be trusted and does NOT have our permission to use GLOBAL SHUFFLE or GSD, he 's also on youtbe. http://www.youtube.com/user/zzasserzz

PLEASE DO NOT BE FOOLED. YOU WILL NOT BE IN THE NEXT GLOBAL SHUFFLE MOVIE, SDF and Xero do not have a contract with MSO.

If you want to appear in the legit GLOBAL SHUFFLE 2, then please visit www.globalshuffle.com for all the details and authorised events.

I thought "Global Shuffle Day" has nothing to do with the company brand "Global Shuffle".. Just like the "National Day" has nothing to do with "National Semiconductor company"... Anyways, will there be a official "Global Shuffle" event in Singapore soon?

No problem mate i celebrate this event because of the passion and not because of the monetary benefit it brings me :)

I will be solo financing all the GSD's or if you have an issue with copyright infringement then i shall change the name to World Shuffle Day.

I maintain i held no malicious intent

I started Global Shuffle in 2008 to fight against a DJ in Sydney who had started a campaign to ban the shuffle, the posts are still on this forum, do a search. Then Singapore shufflers asked if they could help with a meetup. So I worked with them to produce Global Shuffle Day. Shifter Hardstyle Prodigy also came over from JB to meet the SG shufflers.

Now that Global Shuffle Day is in the Global Shuffle movie. The only thing that isn't involved with Global Shuffle are frauds who rip us off with fake GSD.

There will only be another official GSD when some trustworthy SG shufflers want it. So far everyone want to go but nobody wants to make it happen.

If you want to do Global Shuffle Day that's okay, you just need to get our permission. We have had a fraudster trying to do it, ripping off other peoples shuffle vids without permission to promote it, and he did not have the support of SG shufflers.

MSO will support you if you are genuine, otherwise we will let everybody know you are crooks. Simple as that. So please email me gs@globalshuffle.com and make a formal request.

You will need to prove your identity with a photo and real address, and sign a contract. There will be no dealings with SDF or xero - we have his real identity. Any further attempts at piracy will get you reported to the Australian Federal Police for prosecution.

> 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.
