Shuffle Not A Street Dance ?

 

The Shuffle not a Street dance ? hahaha tell that to the thousands of shufflers who turned up to free Melbourne Street Dance Parties each year for 10 years

Update May 2010: Please note some pics have been moved. You can see the street dance parties in the Global Shuffle feature documentary www.globalshuffle.com

My god the commercial club owners are at it again, feeding crap to naive noob forums, even in Melbourne.

Their latest idiotic suggestion is that the Shuffle is not a street dance. What a load of crap lol.

According to them, the Shuffle can only be danced in a club or at a rave - firstly we don't call them raves in Melbourne, we call them DANCE PARTIES.

This is really desperation time for lots of has-been commercial clubs as we again come into party season in Melbourne. Shufflers are avoiding them by the 1000's. Preferring to shuffle in the street, or go to underground venues.

We at MSO have no problem with clubs that support shuffling, we promote them all the time, the same with Dance Parties. More than happy to.

But to suggest that the Shuffle can't be danced in the streets and you can't have a meet up outside - only in a  club or party venue !?!, is the biggest load of crap since the failed attempt to ban the Shuffle around this time last year. It all goes back to selling alcohol in clubs, that's all it's about. They just want your beer money, it's got nothing to do with the shuffle at all.

 

DON'T LISTEN TO THESE IGNORANT TWATS !!!

SHUFFLE WERE EVER YOU WANT :) 

We have great weather in Melbourne from Spring till Autumn (fall) and we get out and Shuffle in the sunshine, in the street in the parks, in the car parks, where ever we want to.

We had regular FREE STREET DANCE PARTIES FOR OVER A DECADE in Melbourne (1990's) with up to 100,000 people turning up. Street dancing is a Melbourne institution. It's painfully obviously these forums and commercial clubs know NOTHING about the Melbourne Shuffle or Melbourne !!

Of course the Shuffle is a street dance !

Here's just a few street shuffling events from the early and mid 1990's starting with 12,000 shufflers in the Melbourne City Square at a FREE STREET DANCE PARTY 1994.

Antwerp Shuffle Meet Up

Good to see our shuffle friends from Belgium, Cray and  Enira who run  http://www.unrestricted.be/  getting into the shuffle spirit and meeting up with a couple of dutch shufflers. Much better than the online bagging dutch shufflers have been hit with on various forums the past 6 months or so ;)

See guys, doesn't matter where you come from, if you're a true shuffler, you let each other be who they wanna be, and just get on with shuffling ;) - if they can keep their eyes off the girls walking past long enough lol.

Nice to see some Bass Agents hoodies in the vid and on the sound track too. - Bass Agents will be doing some tracks for the upcoming MSO DVD Doc to be released in 2009.

So, Well done guys, lets see more of this !

> Este es mi primer video bailando Melbourne Shuffle. Un estilo de baile fascinante salido de Australia para todo el Mundo.

Yo tan sòlo llevo 2 meses practicàndola, por ello es que en èste video se nota un poco mi falta de pràctica. Perdon por mi inexperiencia, pero fuè un esfuerzo grande que valiò mucho la pena.

Muy agradecido estoy de mis amigos Tato y Carmen por hacer posible èste, mi primer video como Shuffle Rocker Chileno.

Màs adelante otro video shuffleando, pero con los movimientos mejor patentados...se los aseguro.!
