How to Do the Party Rock Shuffle

The Party Rock Shuffle has mystified me in my Zumba class. I am normally a good dancer, but I've had to march in place during the shuffle parts because I've found them confusing.

Then I realized how dense I've been.

Okay, I actually do know the running man. And then, there's one other real step - the shuffle. Yes, I can do this. I can do this.

Do you want to learn too? I thought I'd share with you all the youtube videos I've found that have been teaching me how to do it.

LMFAO - Party Rock Anthem

So, the shuffle routine in the Party Rock Anthem is based on the Melbourne Shuffle. It ISN'T the Melbourne Shuffle - it is just choreography for the video. But, it all starts with the song.

This is the best instruction I've found on how to do the routine in the LMFAO video. I am having particular trouble with the transition step after the running man. But, I'll get it. There's a part 1 and part 2 by the way.

My Shuffle Goals

I have two goals:

1. to learn the Party Rock Shuffle routine so I am not embarrassed in Zumba

2. to learn the Melbourne Shuffle so that I can just simply shuffle whenever I want...

Do you shuffle?

Well, I felt unhip when I realized that the Melbourne Shuffle is something that has existed for a long time. Back in the day, I learned the Running Man - then I didn't take it any further. Well, I know I am behind the curve but I think I should learn. But I wonder ... how many people out there know how to shuffle?

Melbourne Shuffle Music

Bla bla - I know, some of you believe that this dance has met it's peak. Maybe it has, but I don't care. Here is the music. Listen to it if you want, learn the dance if you want... I am tired of going online to find info only to realize that there are a lot of really miserable people out there, yelling at others who want to learn the dance or do the dance or listen to the music, or whatever.
