After seeing the principal in China teaching his students to shuffle, I was hooked! Hooked, I tell you! I want to learn the routine he is doing. Yes, I am 53. Yes, I am an overweight trucker. But so what! I think this would be a fun way to exercise!!! I am determined to learn this!
That would be fun to see in the Flying J parking lot. I'd get out and join the party... while my wife would be thinking that I lost my everlovin' mind, lmao.
Never in my life have I ever been satisfied with dance tutors who NEVER EVER EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING. The way you explain this step-by-step makes this the best tutorial ever. Thank you so much
@@LGAussie it's really not guys lmao. The mashed potato makes your body move much, much wider. When shuffling, you keep a slim profile. It looks totally different from afar, even if the steps are very similar.
im 68 with serious knee pain for 2 yrs. my 52 yr old friend was shuffling she said come try it! so i did i felt a pop in my knee! im fricken cured! no more pain! but still suck at shuffling! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
Wow, I see most of the comments are from aging Boomers. Yes, we want to look cool at any age. I'm 66 and did every dance craze and loved it. Looks like good exercise too. Thanks for your clear concise instructions.
Well I see many of Us seniors are here. Why? Because we couldn’t dance when we were young and at the discotheque and we were too worried about what folk thought. Now we don’t care who laughs and we are going to get dem old bones movin. Take notice young’uns, dance like nobody’s watching whilst ya can. And off I go to begin my moooooves. ♥️❤️♥️❤️
67 y/o here too! Remember HS dances - I was that girl who danced all over the gym with or without a fella! Now I’ve got arthritis and extra pounds but I’ve got to learn to shuffle! Thanks for the lesson😊😊😊
Soooo great. I'm 69 and skate professionally and dance as well. But since getting older , I have lost all coordination and movement. I walk with a Walker or I'm in a wheel chair. I loved watching the shuffle but couldnt even begin. But your video is so easy to follow! I actually got the first steps down(from my wheel chair) and working on the others. Thank you so much for helping to restore movement in my feet and legs
You make it look so easy. Thank you! I am only 54 and used to dance and bop around everywhere I went. I came down with transverse myelitis in sept2020 resulting in spinal cord injury and a form of paralysis that requires me to have my heels firmly planted with each step when learning to walk again. I am going to follow your tutorial because I think this is an achievable goal. Will start using a frame for support and progress to dancing around a walking stick once I have it licked. A different kind of shuffle than what I am starting with😉😂
I said a power prayer of healing. But applied it to you instead of me. To the infant of Prague. I said a prayer for my co worker who had no hope to pay his taxes & he won 100k
Jaydaydesign: I hear you my friend. I was really badly injured when somebody hit me from behind. I had a little sports car, and he had an early 80s Oldsmobile. The bedridden years were no joke. You have lots of company in this journey, who have ended up there in a lot of ways; hopefully some people who have Successfully dealt with disability from the exact same cars as you have, why leave some comments that might be useful and encouraging. There is a bit of a roundabout way to get the muscles working again. You start with a small one that you can still move easily. And then you just modify the movers until you’re stretching or engaging the muscles next to it. Before you know it, you’ve got a wider range of motion. You might also find out it could help you to exercise in a swimming pool. Most of the people with whom I’ve worked I found that they like to rent a private or hotel pool for an hour or two at a time to work together. It truly helps to have the buoyancy on your side when you’re trying to get your range of motion back, at least for everybody I’ve ever known that’s had to go through it. And it’s certainly fine to use a PFD or a life jacket to feel safe and that situation if you need to. If you find a buddy to take with you that you could have a little bit of fun with, it’ll take your healing time down quite a bit. Physiotherapist might be able to help you on this journey. They have specialized training, and can do a lot, both passive and active, to speed your progress. I can hardly wait till you come back here sometime to say that you were able to finally start this journey to shuffle dancing.❤️
Absolutely first rate instruction. The focus on outside/inside, weight change etc. sets your video above all the others I’ve seen. Also I appreciate that you show the relevant action rather than mugging at the camera the whole time. And you make it accessible. Well done.
You're just the best shuffle teacher in TH-cam for a beginner. Now this all makes sense. Male age 44 started shuffling couple of weeks ago. I really didn't understand weight movement. Now I do
Am loving that some of us 'older folk' are checking this out....I'm 56 and wanna try this too....have some hip pain though so I'm taking it slow .....there will be no video from me either :-)
This really IS The easiest way to learn to shuffle. You are the best teacher ever! Forgot to mention i'm 77. I won’t be dancing fast, but thanks to you, I will be dancing.
JC, you make this understandable and plausible for anyone to "look like they are feeling the music". Excellent tutorial with logical progressions and modeling of every element of each move. Well Done Sir!
I am 70 and I love this dance. I have NEVER danced. No school dances no date dancing. I feel completely uncoordinated with moving my body parts in different directions at the same time. This dance makes me want to dance so I am going to try it. The people in the tutorials are so cute and good dancers. Thank you for the time you took to teach us the steps.
This is an awesome tutorial. I have watched other tutorials on shuffling; it looked easy but still could not get it. You taught the two essential foot positions: V-shaped, heels together, at the beat; heels away from each other in between. Thank you!
I first saw the videos of the Chinese people doing this Shuffle dance and it looked so cool, I wanted to learn. I use to stay in shape in the 70's disco dancing, but as I started working and having a child to look after that all fell by the way side. I'm over weight, not too fat, but fat enough. I've put on about 60ls. and want to get in shape. I'm retired and I have the time and when I saw this dancing, I just fell in love with it. I'm determined to learn and I appreciate you putting this video out. 67 isn't too old, right?
I believe... plus if you really do it... not only will you dance amazing but you will enjoy your new body.. check out edm festivals as people shuffle ..plenty of youtube videos. Plus anything you practice over and over only becomes easier. NO MATTER what. If you do know something, its because you havent studied it or practiced it. Everyone is a white belt at first, even i was.
I liked this so much that I created the taped markings on two separate 3'x3' insulation boards (shiny side up). Over the past hour I have accomplished more than I have in occasional practice sessions over the past several months. I admit it is easy for an old guy to hurt his knees doing these moves the wrong way. Your slow, right-brain explanations, have got me doings these more safely, provided I don't get too excited and move too quickly, slip, and fall on my can as I'm showing off to my wife =). A lot of shuffle dance tutorials seem to focus more on the instructors dance ability rather than on clearly defined instructional techniques. Thanks!!
Thank you so much for your tutorial in shuffling. I am in my mid 70's and I will definitely practice until I learn, you are the person I want to meet, very nicely explained, also nicely spoken.. well done. Blessings to you from my heart
71 year old grandmother here. This is the best tute for learning this dance. I have looked at a few, and yup this is the best.Giving it a go, it helps without the music because makes me rush it and I'm a bit slow.
I'm 69 and obsessed! So many tutorials and just when I think I've got it, que up the music....and when my feet are supposed to start shufflin'..... they won't! I think this one will help if I switch to an old Barry White track. And build up my cardio endurance! Jeeez....looks so ez & fun! happy energy🤪🙂😁
You’re a great teacher, the explanation breakdown, with a visual and in natural slow mo speed for us learners. 😊 I appreciate the tape markers! I get lost in the world of dancing! I always practiced in my room for the next time. This dance is on a new level. Practice, practice 👍
Yep me also, yours is the first tutorial I can understand. Awesome bit by bit ill get it 63yrs young and its a brain exercise also 😂 thanks for your breaking it down so well all the others are just too quick 😊😊😂
This is by far the best video I found that goes slowly into the detail of how to do this dance. I have been wanting to learn it for a while and cannot figure out how its done. I'm going to follow and learn all the different lessons on how to achieve this dance from this TH-camr. I'm 60 and want to learn this so bad as its fun and good excersize. Thanks for making this video. I'm going to lay my blue tape down today. Hee hee
Wow I love it ... I'm a drummer and I can see your point in the beat with the heals, I think your awesome for helping us people out here! Thank you so very much !!!
Love the details given here, thank you! I used to dance in my late teens and twenties, just night clubs and around the house. I’m 57 now and so out of shape but I still feel the music trying to make me move. It just feels SO awkward now! I ha eloped watching all the shuffle videos. So thank you for sharing this! 😊
Thank you for your tutoring . I watched so many videos but I couldn’t do it because it was in Chinese language . Your tutoring is so clear and very helpful. Now I can learn how to do shuffle dance .
As an older person I appreciate this excellent help at the beginning lots of tips and at 7.05 mins in where it’s leading to .I would recommend looking at 7.05 to the end a few times and then go back to the start if your totally new to this it will help you from being a little overwhelmed as lots of moves covered Good luck all keep active stay healthy eat wisely
I think this is a real good overall nimbleness exercise for all ages, even for seniors, and much easier on joints than jumping rope. I'm gonna learn to do it. Thank you for the tutorial.
This is so clearly shown from simple to complex. I was sure I wouldn't be able to figure this out with no dance background, but I can follow your method explained. Thank you!
I'm not surprised to see older people here. The swing is from the 20's and up to the late 50's, this is another revival & solo version, so yes, of course they are here! Look at Jazz and how people dance in country and more, the swing is there, in one form or another. I'm happy to see it is back again, and making everyone want to dance, dance, dance. Thank you for the great tutorial.
That’s the very first thing I thought of as well. It also has some of the Charleston in it as well. Man, I guess I sound Old 👵🏼👵🏼👵🏼and I’m only 56 yrs young🤣🤣🤣🤣 but my Grandmother taught me those two dances because she knew that I Loved dancing and I wanted to learn all kinds of dances and I have. Different culture one too.
I'm 74 in Dec. I'm also learning balette. Tough but take it slow you will get their. So fun to dance an so good for us seniors. Not dead yet so get out their an show em all. Also thank you for the lesson. You made it easy for even me. God bless us sll.
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm a teenager recovering from a knee injury trying to learn how to dance again. I still haven't gotten the hang of fluidly shifting my weight as you instructed, but I'm sure I'm close. Thank you for the video.
That is the BEST tutorial I have yet to see! Thank you for that breakdown makes so much sense now and how it always looks so effortless when I see people shuffling. I will try to master these basics before moving on. Look forward to your other steps 🙌🏽
I think you're the best in making it so easy, because you've marked the floor. I saw so many videos, yours is certainly the best. Thank You for making it and uploading it. Hopefully, I learn it. And the best was telling us that it is easier than skipping a rope.
You are absolutely right when you say it is all about the shifting of the weight. So true of any dance. You have to know the center of gravity for your body in the steps.
Ok, OMG, I have never danced before, and I keep watching dance videos and I'm all amazed at the people in them. So I found this video to start learning..... you do a great job, and I am going to be watching this and trying every day. You took something that seemed like magic and broke it down.... now I just need to keep practicing. Good lord, I should join a class just so I can make all the other people feel better, lol Actually, I think I'm going to record myself today, day 1, then every few days, just to see my own improvement, lol
Love this. I’m 72 but love to learn new steps. I wish you would have done a whole routine to music at the end. You are a very good instructor. I’m going to start practicing!
I am in my sixties, and I am laying in bed doing these moves, but less extreme to avoid straining my back. Even one foot, then the other works. It is an amazing workout! You don't have to carry all your weight, and the blood flow is refreshing. It helps circulation. My body fat is 23%, but I used to weigh 60 lbs more. Even weighing more, I think I could have managed some good isometric movements like this. I think this concept of laying down and doing this could be good for some seniors.
Omg!!! Thank you so much for this!! I was about to give up learning this dance but now that I found your tutorials I’m so happy and excited to learn again!! ✨ thank you thank you!
Whether or not it is too late, is for sure NOT determined by age! Age says nothing about your shape! It may be way too late for you at 20 yrs and you may start training like there is no tomorrow at 75! I would have loved doing this, great videos, but sadly it is not for me, even if I am about your age...
when someone puts 'best ever ' on a video , i think , yep , arent they all ? . but you seriously have got the best tutorial ever on shuffling . im never going to learn it at 57 with less than a 1/4 heart left . but im young at heart and love ppl who shuffle , so i watched this video . im sure you just taught 1000's of ppl how to shuffle . and thats commendable . well done J.C
JC - You broke the code to teaching Dance on TH-cam ~ My Man!! I have seen complicated dance pattens in books and have thought that's crazy!! How can anyone learn dance from a book - with TH-cam technology YOU made the patterns interactive and repeatable for home viewers! You are the first I have seen and I have been surfing for three years. Thanks for keeping the focus on your feet and the floor. Shuffle dance is unique the flair with the arms will flow later. In Dance it all starts with the feet and moves up & on ward! BRAVO in your teaching technique! I watch cooking demos too and the best cooking demo are the ones that keep the camera on the hand and the bowl or pan, not their face and kitchen. Your feet and floor focus is brilliant! Shuffle dance is for everyone who can skip! Your dedication to TEACH is genuine, you are generous and gifted teacher. I hope when you dance in public you FULLY ENJOY YOUR SHINE TIME!
Thank you for this video I'm only 16 seconds and I felt like stopping and saying thank you, this is the coolest dance I have ever seen I'm 61 years old and I'm going to learn it and I'm going to do it for exercise because I got a lot of my rock and roll I can do this to
Shuffling started in the 80’s. It takes the Chinese and Koreans 40 years to catch on. 🤣 this guy isn’t Asian, but the teacher with the huge outdoor class in one video was.
I’m 68 too and I’m going to learn how to shuffle using this tutorial. I just wish he’d add music and dance integrating what was taught with the music. Thank you for the lesson.
The marks on the floor make it make so much sense. There is a dance museum near where I live that did a similar thing, guiding people through ballet feet positions and, I think, a waltz.
Love all six of your shuffle tutorials! They're done exactly the best way for me to learn! Please do some of the other shuffle moves also! Thanks so much!
William, you are absolutely right! In fact, the major bulk of this video is spent breaking down that particular shuffle move which -- I agree -- essentially *is* the mashed potatoes. You had this thing down YEEEERS ago! (Just noticed - if you hit "show more" in the description, he points out what just what you said. That this dance was originally called the mashed potato. You go, Will!! :))
@@drewga403 Still gotta go back a little further, that's not quite the origin! It's a 1920s jazz dance called The Charleston, originating in Charleston, SC. Here's Al Minns & Leon James bringing it to the masses in some of the earliest footage of this style. th-cam.com/video/s58iTzznkp0/w-d-xo.html
Late to the party it seems but, I'm going to learn how to shuffle. Came across some cool shuffle videos just a couple of days ago and I'm all fired up - Thank you!!
After seeing the principal in China teaching his students to shuffle, I was hooked! Hooked, I tell you! I want to learn the routine he is doing. Yes, I am 53. Yes, I am an overweight trucker. But so what! I think this would be a fun way to exercise!!! I am determined to learn this!
Thats awesome. Post a video when you got it and you'll inspire others to do it too. Lmk when u post it :)
51 Year Old also Trucker, also weighty. ALSO going to learn! 18-down, Teresa.
I believe in you

It’s the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
Totally agree 👍👍
I came to comment same! This is the only way I can learn to dance. Thank you!! And PS I’m 54 - so many boomers in here 😂

GREAT JOB AND MOTOVATION.

Love this. I'm 102 and I love to learn new dances 😘
There's so many elderly people here I love it so much, you guys are doing something you enjoy and it makes me happy 🥰
Yes I'm 57 old and enjoy this it's amazing.
I honestly think you're kind of a genius for the way you set this up!! 😀
+1
I agree. Genius
I guess I've been under a rock because this is my first encounter with this dance. Is there a video with music showing the steps?
Never mind. 😊 I found other videos. 🙄
Yeah so so Awesome👍🏾👌🏾
im 68 with serious knee pain for 2 yrs. my 52 yr old friend was shuffling she said come try it! so i did i felt a pop in my knee! im fricken cured! no more pain! but still suck at shuffling! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
I'm 76 and this is awesome. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much.
May you and yours stay well and prosper.

Not only are you teaching how to shuffle, but also how to teach. Great job!!

I believe it would be good exercise. Start slow and work your way up. Remember to stretch first.
Im Gen X, and I want to learn...
Like the Mashed Potatoe. That is what the feet aee doing.
65 😂
Well I see many of Us seniors are here.
Why?
Because we couldn’t dance when we were young and at the discotheque and we were too worried about what folk thought.

Take notice young’uns, dance like nobody’s watching whilst ya can.

Yes, definitely!!!!!

I’m almost 60 and you’re tutorials have helped me to realize that I’m not too old to start learning how to dance. I love it, thanks so much!!
Great stuff Patty , go for it , live life to the max yay you go girl.👍
I'm going to learn this and astound my grandchildren.
Careful you don't astound your knees or ankles...

I think this one will help if I switch to an old Barry White track. And build up my cardio endurance! Jeeez....looks so ez & fun! happy energy🤪🙂😁
A very clear demonstration. I used to do this dance years ago and then forgot how. This video helped me remember the steps! Cheers!!
Same here 😊
You’re a great teacher, the explanation breakdown, with a visual and in natural slow mo speed for us learners. 😊 I appreciate the tape markers! I get lost in the world of dancing! I always practiced in my room for the next time. This dance is on a new level. Practice, practice 👍
Turned my phone backwards, followed along and it worked. Great tutorial. Thanks!
I'm 64 & learning it too, it fascinating, i love it. My family & grandchildren will be so surprised.
Yep me also, yours is the first tutorial I can understand. Awesome bit by bit ill get it 63yrs young and its a brain exercise also 😂 thanks for your breaking it down so well all the others are just too quick 😊😊😂
I just turned 70 and I'm going to learn this for exercise.
capstar633 go check out my TH-cam channel .... Elements shuffle dance group 😊
Go 4 it
Go for it! It’s basically the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
Are you now a mad mashed potato shuffler - how did it go for you?
This is by far the best video I found that goes slowly into the detail of how to do this dance. I have been wanting to learn it for a while and cannot figure out how its done. I'm going to follow and learn all the different lessons on how to achieve this dance from this TH-camr. I'm 60 and want to learn this so bad as its fun and good excersize. Thanks for making this video. I'm going to lay my blue tape down today. Hee hee
Wow I love it ... I'm a drummer and I can see your point in the beat with the heals, I think your awesome for helping us people out here!
Thank you so very much !!!
The breakdown of the dance is superbly explained..... easily the best "how to" video on TH-cam
I’m 67 too! Will be learning this! Best tutorial I’ve seen!
Love the details given here, thank you! I used to dance in my late teens and twenties, just night clubs and around the house. I’m 57 now and so out of shape but I still feel the music trying to make me move. It just feels SO awkward now! I ha eloped watching all the shuffle videos. So thank you for sharing this! 😊
Thank you for your tutoring . I watched so many videos but I couldn’t do it because it was in Chinese language . Your tutoring is so clear and very helpful. Now I can learn how to do shuffle dance .
I've tried so many other beginner tutorials and this is THE BEST one! thank you so much!!
As an older person I appreciate this excellent help at the beginning lots of tips and at 7.05 mins in where it’s leading to .I would recommend looking at 7.05 to the end a few times and then go back to the start if your totally new to this it will help you from being a little overwhelmed as lots of moves covered
Good luck all
keep active stay healthy eat wisely
Awesome I'm 64 with knee revision and so easy to follow! Wonderful instructor!💃❤
I'm 91 and practicing while sitting on the toilet
Hell yea!
best for your balance
Too Much Information
Are u actually 91
@@poppyreynolds940 speak up sonny, I cant hear you 🦻
I think this is a real good overall nimbleness exercise for all ages, even for seniors, and much easier on joints than jumping rope. I'm gonna learn to do it. Thank you for the tutorial.
This is so clearly shown from simple to complex. I was sure I wouldn't be able to figure this out with no dance background, but I can follow your method explained. Thank you!
At 64 and a bit unfit, this is a brilliant video with easy to understand steps to the subtleties of the moves. Loving it to bits, thank you!
I'm not surprised to see older people here. The swing is from the 20's and up to the late 50's, this is another revival & solo version, so yes, of course they are here! Look at Jazz and how people dance in country and more, the swing is there, in one form or another. I'm happy to see it is back again, and making everyone want to dance, dance, dance. Thank you for the great tutorial.
Absolutely love the step-by-step pace of this video! Thank you for teaching a beginner like me!
It’s like a 60’s dance, the mashed potato, the way you show it.
Yes! That’s what I said. Nothing new. Just changes slightly. Everything repeats itself eventually.
That’s the very first thing I thought of as well. It also has some of the Charleston in it as well. Man, I guess I sound Old 👵🏼👵🏼👵🏼and I’m only 56 yrs young🤣🤣🤣🤣 but my Grandmother taught me those two dances because she knew that I Loved dancing and I wanted to learn all kinds of dances and I have. Different culture one too.
@@desireea.thomas2419 Not really, i just watched and made exact same comments. What goes around comes around I guess.
Looks like a variation of the Charleston..... foot wise! Love it and will learn it.....Fun and healthy!!
I'm 74 in Dec. I'm also learning balette. Tough but take it slow you will get their. So fun to dance an so good for us seniors. Not dead yet so get out their an show em all. Also thank you for the lesson. You made it easy for even me. God bless us sll.
This is the mental/physical fun exercise for seniors, really!!!
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm a teenager recovering from a knee injury trying to learn how to dance again. I still haven't gotten the hang of fluidly shifting my weight as you instructed, but I'm sure I'm close. Thank you for the video.
That is the BEST tutorial I have yet to see! Thank you for that breakdown makes so much sense now and how it always looks so effortless when I see people shuffling. I will try to master these basics before moving on. Look forward to your other steps 🙌🏽
Brilliant!!! Hands down THE best explanation on TH-cam. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am finally mastering this. 🤗
I made this video for you. Practice a little each day. Shuffling allows you to express yourself in the coolest ways.
Thanks for your teachings, very easily to learn with the lady who is over 70 yrs-old💝🙏😍
I'm 78 and love to watch shuffle dance. Your tutorial is a gem. I'll watch it and practice a few steps. Thanks for the rejuvenation idea. ciao.
I'm 65 and I like this dance, Gunna give it a go
It’s the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
So am I,
I think you're the best in making it so easy, because you've marked the floor. I saw so many videos, yours is certainly the best. Thank You for making it and uploading it. Hopefully, I learn it. And the best was telling us that it is easier than skipping a rope.
Просто и понятно - молодец!
You are absolutely right when you say it is all about the shifting of the weight. So true of any dance. You have to know the center of gravity for your body in the steps.
I’m someone who has been teaching dance for 36 years, I want to compliment you on your teaching skills. 👍
I don't know how to open a studio. I think I'm good at hacking the mind body connection.
Ok, OMG, I have never danced before, and I keep watching dance videos and I'm all amazed at the people in them. So I found this video to start learning..... you do a great job, and I am going to be watching this and trying every day. You took something that seemed like magic and broke it down.... now I just need to keep practicing. Good lord, I should join a class just so I can make all the other people feel better, lol Actually, I think I'm going to record myself today, day 1, then every few days, just to see my own improvement, lol
You are very thoughtful. Yes, you have broken it down well and now suddenly even clumsy me can finally start 🤣
So understandable. Steps broken down so clearly. Absolutely a great video! Thank you
I'm 61 and it's so good to hear all the boomers into this
I'm obsessed with learning this!
Well i am 74,and i am defenatly going to practice it and show my grandchildren, i love it!!
Love this. I’m 72 but love to learn new steps. I wish you would have done a whole routine to music at the end. You are a very good instructor. I’m going to start practicing!
I am in my sixties, and I am laying in bed doing these moves, but less extreme to avoid straining my back. Even one foot, then the other works. It is an amazing workout! You don't have to carry all your weight, and the blood flow is refreshing. It helps circulation. My body fat is 23%, but I used to weigh 60 lbs more. Even weighing more, I think I could have managed some good isometric movements like this. I think this concept of laying down and doing this could be good for some seniors.
Omg!!! Thank you so much for this!! I was about to give up learning this dance but now that I found your tutorials I’m so happy and excited to learn again!! ✨ thank you thank you!
Thanks so much! I just found this video I subscribed, I want to learn it's so cool I'm 52 years old girl who thinks " it's never too late"👍💞
Norma Leticia Andrade ..its okay to say
Lady
What's wrong with being a woman?
Whether or not it is too late, is for sure NOT determined by age! Age says nothing about your shape! It may be way too late for you at 20 yrs and you may start training like there is no tomorrow at 75! I would have loved doing this, great videos, but sadly it is not for me, even if I am about your age...
it is
Norma Leticia Andrade It’s never too late I’m going to learn this and my granddaughters there Jaw will drop, it’s going to be fun.🕶
when someone puts 'best ever ' on a video , i think , yep , arent they all ? . but you seriously have got the best tutorial ever on shuffling . im never going to learn it at 57 with less than a 1/4 heart left . but im young at heart and love ppl who shuffle , so i watched this video . im sure you just taught 1000's of ppl how to shuffle . and thats commendable . well done J.C
JC - You broke the code to teaching Dance on TH-cam ~ My Man!! I have seen complicated dance pattens in books and have thought that's crazy!! How can anyone learn dance from a book - with TH-cam technology YOU made the patterns interactive and repeatable for home viewers! You are the first I have seen and I have been surfing for three years. Thanks for keeping the focus on your feet and the floor. Shuffle dance is unique the flair with the arms will flow later. In Dance it all starts with the feet and moves up & on ward! BRAVO in your teaching technique!
I watch cooking demos too and the best cooking demo are the ones that keep the camera on the hand and the bowl or pan, not their face and kitchen. Your feet and floor focus is brilliant! Shuffle dance is for everyone who can skip! Your dedication to TEACH is genuine, you are generous and gifted teacher. I hope when you dance in public you FULLY ENJOY YOUR SHINE TIME!
Super clear, easy to follow tutorial. Gives enough to get a person started and enables practice. Nice! Thanks!
Thank you for this video I'm only 16 seconds and I felt like stopping and saying thank you, this is the coolest dance I have ever seen I'm 61 years old and I'm going to learn it and I'm going to do it for exercise because I got a lot of my rock and roll I can do this to
You do it to hardstyle music
Shuffling started in the 80’s.
It takes the Chinese and Koreans 40 years to catch on.
🤣 this guy isn’t Asian, but the teacher with the huge outdoor class in one video was.
I would love to learn this. Thank you for taking time to give us this instructional video.
I’m 68 too and I’m going to learn how to shuffle using this tutorial. I just wish he’d add music and dance integrating what was taught with the music. Thank you for the lesson.
The marks on the floor make it make so much sense. There is a dance museum near where I live that did a similar thing, guiding people through ballet feet positions and, I think, a waltz.
Love all six of your shuffle tutorials! They're done exactly the best way for me to learn! Please do some of the other shuffle moves also! Thanks so much!
Thank you! You're a wonderful teacher. I appreciate you sharing your know how.
That's a brilliant tutorial. So well thought out and well explained!
タイトル通り素晴らしい教則‼︎
基本の動きも説明があるので 基礎から 確実に学べる‼️ こういうの探してた‼️
Best Shuffle teaching tecnique ever my friend. I will learn with your lessons.
helped me a lot, watched a lot of videos but couldn't get it til I watched this easy breakdown. Thanks!
His first steps were from a dance we did back in the early 60's call the Mash Potatoes. LOL
William, you are absolutely right! In fact, the major bulk of this video is spent breaking down that particular shuffle move which -- I agree -- essentially *is* the mashed potatoes. You had this thing down YEEEERS ago!
(Just noticed - if you hit "show more" in the description, he points out what just what you said. That this dance was originally called the mashed potato. You go, Will!! :))
Tracy Turnblad
YES!! 😀👍🏼
@@drewga403 Still gotta go back a little further, that's not quite the origin! It's a 1920s jazz dance called The Charleston, originating in Charleston, SC. Here's Al Minns & Leon James bringing it to the masses in some of the earliest footage of this style. th-cam.com/video/s58iTzznkp0/w-d-xo.html
Late to the party it seems but, I'm going to learn how to shuffle. Came across some cool shuffle videos just a couple of days ago and I'm all fired up - Thank you!!
Thanks a lot!
I'm 56 and I have decided and started to learn shuffling yesterday.
You really help me!
Yes, it looks much simpler when you break the steps down this way. Thanks for the great help.
