Hey guys, just want to share my views and classifications of the melbourne shuffle.

Note: These are for my own personal reference and i hope it will help certain people understand what every "style" is about cause people will say STOP CLASSIFYING IT !! ITS JUST THE MELBOURNE SHUFFLE!!! Yes it is....but come on man? If you don't do it....someone else will do it for you...and you will be like omg wtf is MAS Style...wtf man? But if you give it leeway sorta *The TB guidelines* Then you give people the basic understanding of what and why each style is classified the way it is.


To me there are many classifications of the MELBOURNE SHUFFLE
Melbourne Shuffling - Mix of runningman and the "T-Step" and a little upper body movement with some kicks and spins...more chilled and relaxed
Refer to Ben :

Old Schooling - More T-step and a little runningman (depending on the shuffler) but essentially there is more emphasis on creativity using the whole body. *upper and lower*
Refer to Kitchen Shuffler :

New School - What you might call tb style emphasis on the overuse of the runningman with lots of force and a couple of spins and kicks....for reference look up HSA Sacco or HSK Mikki. No i have nothing against them (thats sorta lie with mikki but w/e) but these are just examples.



Ahhh now we get to the interesting part....

MAS Style - A carbon copy of any "famous" malaysian shuffler. e.g Ochibi, Speedodevo (Now he sucks LOL) etc etc all those big names bleh... But essentially everyone has a different style but it only becomes a classification once a whole bunch of faggots copy it....sometimes it is a requirement to copy it for lets say a competition where everyone has to look the same to be in sync (but still can have their own individual style)
Refer to the THF Performance :

Honestly massive respect to these guys for being able to "conform" as well ass maintain they're individuality during the solo section. you might think that they are faggots cause they look like everyone else...but think of it this way, if you started to shuffle with certain moves and patterns and every kid followed you, do you think its right for someone from here to all you a fag?

Hardstyling : The focus of a a nice good hard rock Steady Runningman and move sets (not MOVES but your own patterns and sets that make you unique) that define you as a hardstyler.(This will be a controversial topic and ill get flamed more or less but this is just my opinion) Because in reference to melbourne rockers 2 they almost all shuffled exactly the same to me *thats why i could classify them as a style* Please do not take offence with this as i love melbourne rocking. Anyhow

I break this up into 2 Melbourne Rockers and the Rockers

Melbourne Rocker - Harder runningman using a crunch movement (your ab's) mixed with plenty of slides kicks and hat tricks.
Refer to Melbourne Rockers 2 -

Rockers - More emphasis on a unique style of runningman and certain move sets that make you more of an individual
Refer to Len :
Refer to Yan And Slackshoes :

Well this concludes my descriptions and i will update it when i have more time cause im in class now LOL.


Love Love,

gpp klo blom sampe tahap itu, at least lo mnuju k style yg jelas. sbener nya lebih gampang klo blajar shuffle tau lo mau blajar yg mana, dan lebih bagus lagi klo ada orang yg inspired lo. jadi ada yg bsia d jadiin contoh, based on their styles. tp inget, smua orang punya style sendiri2, jd ga mungkin lo bisa tiru exactly the same.

ini mungkin lebih jelas bwat contoh MAS style.

differences from melbourne lebih ke runningman nya. peratiin runningman nya beda bgt sm melbourne. MAS style doing the RM using their body. mreka ngedorong kakinya pake badan. and the variations also, MAS punya lebih banyak dan punya ciri khas sendiri yg jelas beda bgt dari melbourne. skarang melbourne doing more gliding as their variations.

Sbnrnya semua nya sama aja: Melbourne Shuffling.
Sengaja dibahas styles dsini buat yang pengen memperdalam aja biar lebih gampang buat dicerna
Just do whatever you want, it's Melbourne Shuffle!

There has been a lot of talk and debate about "Styles" and whatnot.

I would first like to start of by saying that this styles issue has to stop, on this forum anyway.

Anyway here's how this styles thing came on about. This is a Chronological shuffling line, not a styles explanation.

Original Melbourne Shuffle - This consisted of the T step + Weird and cool leg movements as well as a wide Variety of arm movements and cap tricks.

Next came the Classification of Hardstyling which was "stylized" by shufflers that liked to shuffle HARD. Mostly the runningman mixed in with the shuffle but the movements were hard and solid. E.g WeDanceHard

The 07 Generation of kids became aware of the melbourne shuffle and then seemingly took the easiest part of the dance which was the runningman and proceeded to slam a couple of mainstream hardstyle tracks which became popular and then spammed the move picking up as they went off.

The malaysians which went over to melbounre to study took the shuffle back home with them after experiencing the rave scene with practically only 2 notable people who actually did the shuffle without hardstyling. Even WeDanceHard Had a dedication to this "sick shuffler" Azmer which marked him as Lens first shuffling idol.

The other 99% who enjoyed the harder version of shuffling then developed their own way of hardstyle which then was done by Hardstyle republic who were the first people to truly start the trend in malaysia beginning Mid - Late 06.
Notable names are Speedodevo and Apekwhuut who truly brought in the introduction to names like softstyling as opposed to hardstyling. Come the advent of Hardstyle Republic (HR) and their way of doing hardstyle soon brought the world of shuffling to know of many new and different moves. Since the malaysians hardstyled differently compared to the ravers in melbourne they dubbed it Malaysian aka MAS Style to so called keep it different.

*Fun Fact* The Side glide now done by every other MAS shuffler originally popularized by Apekwhuut in:


People Like THF Ochibi practically the most popular shuffler in the world came about from watching Speedodevo and emulating him until his own way of shuffling became unique.

I don't know how this electro Shuffle Came about but i can't comment so i shall leave it out.

So now we have a scene where essentially The melbourne ravers shuffled and hardstyled, the malaysians took the hardstyle and tweaked it a little bit/a fair bit and called it MAS Style.
The Brazilians, Russians and *insert any other country name* took this "New Hardstyling" aka MAS Style and incorporated it into other dances and finally we have where the shuffle is today.

MAS Style because of its amazingly aesthetic nature quickly became more popular than other ways and types of Shuffling.
The original melbourne shuffle became less popular as more people cared about the pure aesthetic of the dance and not the dance it self. This is also known as.....following mainstream.

A perfect example of this is the Cali-Style which is to put it in a form many of you can understand, Copying simply the length of the MAS styled runningman without the basic aesthetic with a measure of bounce and a slightly hunched back in many cases. The cali style is an attempt to copy the aesthetics of the MAS style without actually putting in any work which is why its actually looks really daft and strange. Every good shuffler has taken time to devote to the dance and therefore has become good.

Summary Version:
Hardstyling came out The Melbourne Shuffle
Mas Style Ripped from Hardstyling
Cali shuffle Ripped from MAS Style
Electro = *Please insert Information*

Hardstyling still exists in many forms, it now simply has more than 1 name. Newschooling( 07 era), MAS Styling etc.

*******************************************************************************************************
The crux of this was to give everyone an overview and history of the styles and how they came to be. Now however i would like to mention that the melbourne shuffle is a rave dance and at raves, people dance however they see fit. These styles and classifications only act as barriers for a persons expression. It has been said time and time again: This is still the Melbourne Shuffle.

Some people like to runningman more, some people like to T-Step more, some people like to throw their hands in the air like they just don't care .Its not your problem. This is mainstream and over-popularization at work.

Someone said "O then lets not classify music into hardstyle trance and hip hop lets just call it music"

I would like to say to you: The Melbourne Shuffle from the start has been a dance about expression just like every dance. Different music, same dance. Its not like i headspin in the middle of your ballet class and call that ballet as well. Dances evolve and change.If you want to classify them just go ahead but always keep in mind no matter what style this is....the dance will always be the Melbourne Shuffle.

With Much Love and Respect,
