"Melbourne Shuffle!"

"There is a bit of insanity in dance that does everybody a great deal of good." - Edwin Denby

Well, so far, I have covered fashion and art, now time to move onto pop culture. Time to make a stop in Australia! =] Melbourne to be exact! ^-^ A while ago, my boyfriend showed me a video of this really cool, yet intense at the same time. It's called the "Melbourne Shuffle" and it actually originated from Irish immigrants (Go figure, eh?)

But, anyway, the Melbourne Shuffle is a really intense underground dance that involves quick movement sliding of the feet. It almost reminds me of a crazier version of moonwalk and the running man at the same time. It began in the 80's, grew in the 90's, and just recently became really popular starting 2 years ago.

I cannot explain how to do the steps properly, so here's a video on how to do so! :D

And here's a really cool compilation of the actual dance:

Lol, hopefully I will going to be going to Australia to attend the Empire of the Sun since they're not playing in America this year >.< Maybe i'll throw on some "phats" and shuffle my way to the country, haha! XD
