[U][I][B]THE MELBOURNE SHUFFLE [/B][/I][/U][IMG]http://www.studentzone.com.au/files_blog/d42558f0eb400efb241c40ec33527e2b4ec0df932510d81a6cb4686f6d2601d8.jpg[/IMG] [B]What is the melbourne shuffle? [/B] The melbourne shuffle is a rave dance that originated in the underground dance scene in Melbourne, Australia in the late 1980's. It involves a few standard steps that when combined with kicks and stomps create the illusion of the dancer gliding across the floor. Sometimes the [I]shuffler [/I]complements using various hand movements or so called hat tricks. It is normally danced to hardstyle music, which is a sort of electronic music that normally goes in the speed of around 140 beats per minute. Hardstyle employs simple synth melodies and a very hard 4/4 kick. [B]Ok, that sounds awesome, so give me a video! [/B]Will do.

[/B]Well, actually the basics are quite easy to learn. Here is my favorite video tutorial.

[/B]They're called phats, and they're awesome.[IMG]http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e27/cybafaeries/mso/phtrixed.jpg[/IMG] They usually have fluorescent(glow-in-the-dark) tape on them, for extra awesome. Sometimes shufflers wear home-made phats. SO, Facepunch, are there any shufflers here besides me?
The Melbourne shuffle looks like a bunch of retards having a seizure. Also those pants are fucking stupid looking.
You missed out the coke bit
Didn't someone post a thread on this a while ago?
There are chavs in Australia, but they're a bit different, they're usually 14 years old and are piss weak. In Australia we call them "lads". Only lads do the melbourne shuffle, and look like absolute tools doing it.

[QUOTE=HAKKAR!!!;19798806]Yeah but you never go outside.[/QUOTE] that was the same joke rookie made last time and it was funny but i go outside all the time okay so
I hate everyone who dances like this. They are without exception all muzzas and lads. What other fun activities do they partake in? Beating up 14 year olds with all their mates to back them up.
[QUOTE=Xenetic;19798834]Same over here in the US! except we don't call them "lads", we call them douchebags![/QUOTE] I can't really imagine the US having guys wearing nike caps, long nike pants, striped shirt, calling everyone a cunt, parents on the dole, getting pissed at every opportune moment, only starts a fight whenever with a gang of friends (which is always). and they generally look like this: [img_thumb]http://img511.imageshack.us/img511/702/16980103684796322083100.jpg[/img_thumb]

some idiot comes along every few months and makes a thread about this dumb dance. make melbourne shuffle a ban word
I've seen at least 2 other threads on this fucking thing. Stop reminding people that this shit came from my city.
Ok, I hope people with read this post. There are basically 2 types of shufflers. There ae the lads, who treat the Shuffle like it were a street dance, being all gangsta and cocky. And then there are the ravers, who dance because the feel the music and tto have a good time. A saying reads, "Dance to express, not to impress".

The pants are fucking stupid, the dance is alright if done properly. A couple of my friends do this and upload videos to youtube. They're alright.
Wow, I can't understand why Facepunch goes apeshit on anything that isn't jeans and T-shirts.
Those are the worst trousers I've ever seen.

Wow that's gay.
I can't decide which are worse, the trousers in the OP or these jeans: [img]http://www.brandish.tv/baggytight.jpg[/img]
