Alex “Twisted” Bazaar Shows Us How to Do the Melbourne Shuffle

Alex "Twisted" Bazaar is the master of a particularly gob-smacking version of hardstyle dance that many perform, yet few perfect: the Melbourne Shuffle. You will see this dance and its permutations primarily at raves and concerts, such as Basscon’s Wasteland at the Palladium, that feature high-energy electronic dance music subgenres like hardstyle or psy-trance. As Twisted demonstrates here, “Shufflers” have two basic moves, the Shuffle and the Stomp, from which a wide-ranging vocabulary of unique moves arises. The Shuffle is supposedly derived from a centuries-old Celtic dance done in wooden clogs wherein the dancer moves sideways. The Stomp goes back millennia, according to legend. It’s a ritualized imitation of a stomping horse performed by druids in early Celtic culture. <i>Read the full story: <i><a href="http://www.laweekly.com/music/want-to-learn-how-to-shuffle-like-those-kids-at-the-edm-shows-video-6995028">Want to Learn How to Shuffle Like Those Kids at the EDM Shows?</a></i>
