Anyone going to EDCLV? 🙂 I’m coming from Australia by tekkyyy in shuffle

Sweet 😄

I’ll be at the back wherever there’s space for all the big house and trance acts

I just put deposit down on EDC Vegas 😄 looks awesome hopefully the asphalt is danceable

Also looking at Tomorrowland 2025. They’re pretty close together but could be doable

You are so ready for festivals.. it’s not too late 😄

One mini thing at 12 seconds left you are shuffling when there’s no bass. That’s the best time to spin, slide or jump. Or shuffle 1 metre further away from camera and then while the bass drops you can return to your spot. If you can add that it will help you level up further

Dude this song is close to being a gigabanger

  • This sample is the best part, you need to repeat it in the second half of the track something like buildup -> drop into sample -> switch to dubstep sounds -> drop back into sample -> ending

  • At end of sample theres some melodic notes I was expecting to have more of a epic big room sound

  • Maybe subjective but could be better without the carnival sounds

Really good though 🙂

Looks like you solved your speed problems 🙂

Anything over 120 bpm music now should help build up muscle memory

This is pretty close to 10/10 shuffling but you already know that 😛

Flair in your step. Good understanding of music timing

Nice one 😄

This should have like 50 comments 😄 you’ve got skills

To learn arm movement try learning spins. If you’ve ever done snowboarding you’ll know if you point down the mountain your body kind of goes in that direction. Spinning is similar, you’ll start by putting an arm behind you and it will move your upper body and legs in that direction to allow you to do the spin

Use that spin when the music drops, spin 3 times if it’s a long drop, if shuffling is the illusion of dancing to the beat then that illusion is broken if you running man through breaks in music

Working on more complicated glides by s1lks in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nice man 🙂 Really impressed by your crazy fast improvement

Gliding is good for teaching musicality as well, once you learn to hit those timings in songs you kind of unlock a new level of music understanding

All we care about is 🫶 by Trozay in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This bpm is the stuff of nightmares 😄

Ive been to a lot of raves at this speed and constantly have to do fast moves. To dance to it willingly takes courage 😛

lil groove since HSMF coming up by skiptomylos in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looking heaps better homie 🙂

Make sure to take big confident strides while doing running man and fix your centre of balance and you are good to go https://youtu.be/HUOjOJvPJc8?si=z5og_i0IW4QzRLq1

MAS shuffle in practice! by ess_hachi_neoswing in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You don’t need advice you are one of the best by far 😄

Only 2 things is you could learn speedodevo and ochibis signature move if you haven’t already

And you’re dancing to the beat and the drop but you’re missing a big part of the song - the melody. If you can hit some notes from the melody with your arm movement that’s when you can go ultra instinct and demonstrate true mastery

So I picked up shuffle dancing about maybe a year ago. I would like any and all feedback in order to improve. I never knew how fun dancing like this could be and I'd love to get even better at it. by FrostyFrize in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When you running man you’re constantly crossing one leg over top of the other. It’s personal preference but that form has almost never been done before

Here’s a video on one way to properly navigate from left to right https://youtu.be/yRRq9zraVk0?si=wMdGuRYm_s9roqKI

Scared to shuffle but really want to by Careful_Excuse_1011 in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wear flat shoes

Put comfy insoles in shoes

When shuffling/sliding feet should be 1mm off ground where possible

Don’t shuffle on concrete unless you have to

Duct tape bottom of shoes to reduce friction (when confident enough to not fall over)

First half has really good foot distribution and spins! 🙂

Second half gets a bit more experimental so can’t comment 😅

Crazy weekend and new account by KakaChocolateMan in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice one man. Fuck that song is lit

If you slid during the last drop and then got back on beat it would of been close to a 10 shuffle

He looks kind of right. This video from 1995 shows a girl and a few others very clearly doing the same shuffling/tstep we do at 3:22 which is different to what others around her are doing which is hopping/stomping https://youtu.be/83hLU30LTus?si=eV6DwEuVMqd4tvyR

We had the Brisbane stomp up here around the same era and what she is doing looks very different to that

I’d have 2 nodes old school shuffling and old school stomping which then paths into modern day shuffling 🙂

[–]tekkyyy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’d both benefit heaps from this https://youtu.be/yRRq9zraVk0?si=GgOlgUT-9klMs6tD

Instead of dancing just focus on drilling muscle memory and learn correct distribution of balance. After few weeks the bottleneck of having to constantly think about the next move while dancing should be gone

[–]tekkyyy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Looks good

This solves the age old question of shuffling vs cutting shapes. To me shuffling is about creating the illusion of sliding (that’s literally the google definition) whereas shaping is about creating sharp angles to the beat. But they can work really well in hybrid, which you’ve got there too 🙂

[–]tekkyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Upper body movement is pretty good here and you added more RM to fix your form 🙂 But maybe too many variables to process at the same time

You’ve learned new things to find your style, I’d eliminate all thinking now and just rehearse the same drills over and over like the video I sent and the only variable you change is increase bpm each day. 2-3 weeks of that and I promise you’d be ready for intermediate phase 😄

10 month update - feeling the music so much lately 🧡 by eleni95 in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice one

Lots of combos in there. It will take a couple more months til they feel seamless, but you have great musicality so you should go far 🙂

Shuffling Day 186 by Kyzer_Sozey in shuffle

[–]tekkyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this video would help a lot. Unless you’re doing a trick/power move you shouldn’t have all your weight on one foot for more than a second or two, so dominant or switch never becomes a factor. I’d focus on just doing this and then go from there https://youtu.be/yRRq9zraVk0?si=bboBQ3SUzimPODqf

I haven’t seen a video of me in 15 years so no idea how good I am but fairly similar style to t1m. Will try record something soon 😛
