sometimes all you need is some random dude from 12 years ago to show up on youtube recommendation and fix all of your problem, what you questioned and everything that bother you
I MISS THESE RAW UNEDITED VIDEOS OF OLD!!!!!!! Thank you, awesome smooth stoner, for making me smile and remember the better days of TH-cam. Also, I am a couch potato electrical engineer who thinks the only bad word in the world is "exercise". You made me get up and try some of these moves. Then I remembered why I don't try that shit. Thanks again my friend. We need more of these kind of videos. Modern videos have lost that magic.
I remember watching this with a friend late at night in his driveway, quite literally 12 years ago. Still shuffling to this day with these 3 basic techniques!
Hey, I felt exactly the same way as you 3-4 years ago. As I was learning how to shuffle no one else seemed to know about it or seemed interested at all, but we live in a different generation now! Everyone knows about EDM and shuffling and there are events held world wide for people who are interested and love raving just like us! Don't mind your school and just do you! Do what you love because you know you can't stop loving it (: You'll find people along the way, trust me.
Thats crazy. We were doin this in Houston, Tx way back in the 99. Age 14. Word on the streets at that time was Houston had the footwork. Everywherr else kinda flailed and did glow sticks. We had those finger lights and that expanding and contracting globe for that extra flair but it was all about the "kick, stomp" dance back then. At Lonestar arena im surprised we didnt level the place since we were doing that on the second floor with hundreds of people. Probably 1000!
@@dookie7299 Jump Style is very aggresive. You have to stomp on the floor as you are trying to break it with your legs. I dont know how to explain it further but maybe this helps you to get the hang of it
I didn’t even want to learn how to shuffle but this was recommended to me and damn you are such a good instructor that now I wanna do it. Also “practice doesn’t make perfect, practice makes improvements” is great.
Hey Alan. As someone who literally just started practicing Melbourne Shuffle i must say that your tutorial has helped me the most by far. Good Quality so you are able to see every movement. Good and easy explanation to follow along as you show us. Wonderful view on your legs and feet to really see what you need to see. Thanks for sharing your knowledge in this really helpful way. -a dancer by passion
i was bored and reviewed my favorites and i realized that I learned this when I was in 4th grade! then I looked up this guy and he explains it even better!!!
Holy crap this is amazing! Bless your YOUNG soul ;D Thank you so much to everyone who is still using this video to learn! I come back to this video once in a while to read all your wonderful comments & I honestly never thought I'd be able to help so many of you. This makes me truly happy (: My next shuffle video will be dedicated to ALL OF YOU! Have a wonderful day!
thanks bro! saw yoir video a year and a half ago and ever since then shuffling had been a majoir part of my life. i wanted to thank you for helping me find a new passion. much love and plur
It took me a while after watching hella tutorials lol, a year to be fluid & two to be able to summon the ability to shuffle at any given second haha I'm sure many of you will learn faster than I did xD
Hey Alan, I'm trying to get into the rave scene, and I found hardstyle was my favorite, it was missing dancing I wanted to dance badly, and your video helped me get the basics going. I just tried it tonight and loved it. I think over the next month I'll have it down smoothly. So I really appreciate this video, if you could make an advanced version that'd be awesome!
You utter champion! @YoAlanKun Amazing breakdown. Hope you're doing well... big thanks for the knowledge! Takes a lot of understanding to break something down and make it simple. Planning to execute a dodgy Running Man and Shuffle a couple of months from now at my first hardstyle gig, and if they look non-shit it'll be due to you. Genuine thanks!
sweetness. I can barely walk a straight line sober, so it seemed like I would never get this down. But you simplified it, and just give off a great confident vibe. Great help man. Thank you.
It seems that people like some of which I saw in the comments are forgetting the meaning the real Melbourne/Hardstyle Shufflers left behind for the new gens or those just wanting to do it for fun; "Dance to express, not impress." So there is no perfect person, there is skill and style. And quote: "I know I'm not the best shuffler out there, but I think I know enough to teach you guys" -Alan. The more work you put into it the more you get out.
please do never in your life take this video down, i wanted to do a T but didn't know it was called that way and couldn't find any tutorials. U really helped me out, thanks!
The simplest things in life are actually the hardest things to do. This looks so simple and easy but it’s not until you dedicate yourself to it and have that “ahaa” moment where it just clicks and then it becomes easy and natural 🥰
I think some jumpstyle tracks have gotten popular a few months ago, so more people wanted to learn how to jumpstyle dance. (That's why I'm here atleast)
I bet you're younger than 25 based on that comment. The world is largely a nightmare but it goes in cycles. This video isn't "so 2010." It's "so some point in time when there was some positivity in the world." It will come back around. But you and the youth have to create it. Good times don't come for free. Be good kids, help each other, and we will have "so 2010" times again soon. Just gotta be good to each other.
Don't worry about staying on beat for EVERY song. You've already noticed that it looks sloppy and you get tired, until you've built the stamina there's no point! If you record yourself it honestly looks completely fine as long as you're TRYING to stay on beat
Thanks for watching, I'm just really happy that I was able to help so many of you and that this video is still getting a bunch of attention! To top it all off a bunch of you viewers are making learning this dance a positive experience by helping each other out and that's what I like to see :D If I remember the song correctly...try searching "Hardstyle G.V.D"
I can’t tell you how many times I have came across this video and being someone who has done hip hop. Control is so important and emphasizing the necessary steps that are needed to make it more appealing then what others are sharing in TH-cam 🤔 you need more content brother 🙏🏻
Only because this is probably the MILLIONTH time I've seen this question, It's called "Overload" by Ganjaguru! I love this song and I'm glad all of you do too! Happy shuffling! New shuffle run from me soon (:
As a early 90's raver, I got this down just by dancing 10 hours straight every weekend. Never really thought about technique, just was out of my mind and thought it felt great to do. Pretty interesting to realize how people in the following decades are dedicated to doing this dance like it's a way of life.
@@TheShuffleExperiment from 2008-2012, after a few years of not raving, I worked for Insomniac in LA. The scene had changed so much, most people wearing lingerie or swimsuits was very different. But amongst the crowd, there were groups of hardcore shufflers wearing baggy "UFO" style pants like you in this video. That really warmed my heart! Shuffling and gliding just looks so much better in baggy pants. :)
Thank you so much for a simple yet detailed explanation! I'm hoping to learn to shuffle! Right off the bat after watching this video a few times i got the moves down (since i have shuffled before and done a few of these moves before) i just need to keep track of balance, and muscle memory (is that what you call it?) I'll try training in my back yard, or maybe some large empty space if my mother lets me, and if we could find a spot lol
Omg THIS! Thank you so much, I almost forgot I actually said that in the beginning of the video and hey I'M STILL NOT THE BEST! I'm just doing what I love and I won't stop. Ever.
I appreciate you and this tutorial! Been raving for a while but only just getting my dancing down..this style really speaks to me. Gonna bust it out at EDC this year.
i am a big person,..and alot people my size dont shuffle, good thing i am not like them, i shuffle whenever i can, and i still have trouble, so i come back to this vid and see what i did wrong, you are an awesome shuffler, ..
Dude I'm 20, age doesn't matter in this dance! There are so many people across the world that shuffle you'd be surprised! Go to events and it'll open your eyes, if I saw a 10 year old shuffle well I'd be impressed. If I saw a 50 year old shuffle well I'd be even more impressed
Do you think I can learn it? I'm 24 but I am totally fit. I am not aspiring to be the professional shuffler but at least be good in it. Most of the people learn it in their teens.
Is it okay if I answer this question? Cool. Of course you can! 24 is not old at all dude, chill. Nobody starts as pros, and everybody at ANY age looks super clumsy and awkward while first learning. If you want to learn it, practice! You'll get it in time. ^_^
I am 24 and I have been shuffling for almost a year now. You can absolutely learn this dance. It will take a long time to learn, but it's so much fun that once I started to actually shuffle (3-4 months) I have been practicing about every other day.
Well if you are still in California ....and anywhere close to San Diego... You should stop by and try to instruct my 3 young granddaughters. Ages 10, 9, and almost 8. I really wish they could learn to shuffle old school .... you did a great job with your video .... thank you!
Nice work man! This was one of the first videos i watched to learn how to hardstyle shuffle! I love you man! Three years later i host my own meetups and shuffle at school for shits and gigs!
The goal is to keep the waist /core right where you want it at all times, generally the same high off the ground. The dancer pushes off the ground just enough with each grounding step to maintain the core's elevation, thereby freeing up the legs and feet to move seemingly weightlessly, and enabling the dancer to pull off almost anything they could do if dangling from an adult-sized toddler walker. It's the core. That's why all the best dancers in virtually any style are ripped, even if not lean (though they're often that, as well). Strengthen your core and all dancing becomes a matter of moving limbs and body wherever you want your core to go-a lot like swimming, only vertically and without the buoyancy.
Love your style. Just how you approach things i mean. You're very welcoming, friendly, and open. I bet youre a good person, just based on how you present yourself here.
Yo Alan, it's 2025, and your video is still able to teach me to do the Melbourne shuffle. Thanks a lot, man!
12 years later this video still inspires shufflers worldwide
real
yes man.
fr
I’m learning as we speak 💪🏽
frr
If I can learn how to do this, I would never walk from class to class ever again.
Yeah, when I first started, even just cooking or waiting for the microwave, t-stepping side to side and etc. haha
Try it, and tell me how far you get. Shuffling tires you out so bloody much it's not even funny haha
TasShuffler, that's why mdma was invented
That's why you must build up stamina. You wont get far in anything without it.
Xermy or just take mdma lol
one of the most 2010 videos of all time
his drip is fucking unreal
Tripp pants my dude
It’s wierd how this style is the new clothing aesthetic with this generation of kids

This was made months after I was born, now I am watching and learning. So interesting how generations can pass on these amazing dances.
Let's gooo🎉❤
I love how aggressively positive and encouraging you are 🙏
Thats a real raver for you
I remember watching this with a friend late at night in his driveway, quite literally 12 years ago. Still shuffling to this day with these 3 basic techniques!
I was just thinking, it would be cool for someone who learnt from this over a decade ago to come back today and comment.
Thanks

That’s insane dude,this words co real to my situation
Thats crazy. We were doin this in Houston, Tx way back in the 99. Age 14. Word on the streets at that time was Houston had the footwork. Everywherr else kinda flailed and did glow sticks. We had those finger lights and that expanding and contracting globe for that extra flair but it was all about the "kick, stomp" dance back then. At Lonestar arena im surprised we didnt level the place since we were doing that on the second floor with hundreds of people. Probably 1000!
it's 2023 and I can now dance. 10/10 tutorial
Duuude next is jumpstyle. I cannot get the hang of this for the life of me
Keep trying dawg @@dookie7299

Probably the best shuffle tutorial i've found
I just started learning jumpstyle a week ago and using this tutorial to add shuffle!! And this has been the most helpful tutorial ever!!! Thank you!
Bruh same! I've been learning how to jumpstyle as well. In my experience it's kinda easier than Melbourne shuffle. XD
I hope once he comes back and sees the vid blew up.
Dude I have nooo idea why this is blowing up again HAHA but thanks for watching
This is the most 2010 video ever and I love it. I miss these days.
Tried it I think I'll stick with jumpstyle it's easier for me
