The Melbourne shuffle is a style of dance, that originated in the late 1980s in the Melbourne underground scene. The basic movements in the dance are a fast heel-and-toe action with a style suitable for various types of electronic music. Some variants incorporate arm movements. It originated in Australia and has been gaining popularity on an international level. People who shuffle are usually referred to as shufflers.

You should begin shuffling because it is easier to do as a teenager due to flexibility. This way as you get older you can already be able to do it and it will make things much easier. Everyone at school thinks shuffling is awesome. Personally the women love it. I did it during homeroom and everyone was asking me how I did it and how long it took. It will help you in life and over all it is extremely fun to do.

You can get started by reading some basic tutorials and watching people on youtube. Try looking for a tutorial on how to do the running man, the T, and kicks and spins. These are basic moves that look very good. It might take you a week to master one of them, maybe a month. It is different for everyone and depends on how much you want to get good at it and how long you practice and how you practice. It took me a month to get good at the running man but now everyone calls me a "pro shuffler". It just takes time. Do not get frustrated if you don't get it at first. You might even be doing it wrong. Asking questions is key.

It may be just that you are having a hard time getting used to the movements or it might be something that you can fix, Try shuffling on a smooth surface such as tile or hard wood floor, carpet I do not recommend. Your body might be a bit too weak so I suggest jogging and sit ups if you are out of shape.

I believe it is over-all t he best looking dance. Not a lot of people in the U.S and U.K can shuffle so this also will create popularity among yourself as none of your friends can do it. Also here is a video of the shuffle vs jumpstyle which is usually the two people choose their allegiance to.

In my opinion shuffling looks better than jumpstyle.

People shuffle almost anywhere, on the street, the sidewalk, raves, parties, school, and even work, anywhere, you name it.

Hardstyle is a type of music used by shufflers when shuffling. It is known for its techo sound, strong beats, and rhythm.

Phat pants are a special type of pants that are fit around the waste and get wider as they go down. These are used by shufflers to help create the illusion that they are gliding on the ground. They can be very pricey but look nice and help when shuffling. If you can't afford phat pants some long gym pants are always a nice alternative.

Here is a picture of the phat pants being worn
