How I learned shuffle dance over 50: in my kitchen!

Catherine vlogs about ways to have fun after 50. Dogs, acting, music, the arts, personal development and more.

For those of you attempting to get the "Running Man" right, at any age ... try practicing daily ... the brain needs time to adjust to something new. Get going!

I’m just glad to know I’m not the only 50+ gray haired old lady that wants to shuffle dance!!!😂
Thank you!

Over 50 and trying to learn to shuffle. I never thought to hold on to something for the running and it made such a difference. I kept losing my balance. Thank you for showing we can do it over 50 and easier ways to learn. :)

I'm learning to shuffle dance by watching the Dandan dancers---China---because they teach it in a way that makes it so easy to do, it's nearly impossible to mess up. I'm 70, having to work carefully at everything due to a debillitating injury a few years ago, and having some mobility challenges. The Chinese form of shuffle dance really, really helps enormously.

I appreciate this so much! Challenging yourself and learning new things at any age is so important. Using the counter for balance? What a great suggestion! It feels refreshing to watch you demonstrate these moves with your own style and technique and not trying to follow along some super fit 20-pack abs advanced shuffle dancer online.

The demonstration and explanations are absolutely great. Thanks very much. Please continue 😊

Thanks! I had a hard time learning this and gave up. I’m going to try again with these modifications. I’m over 50.

[rubywhite]

Brilliant! Thank you very much for sharing! This is a great way to keep fit and have fun. 🥰

Great job !! I’m 62 and love this dance. Three things I still want to achieve in life: lean Surfing, learn Suffle-dance, and… the impossible one, to learn how to speak like Donald Duck lol (joke). People will ask: why you don’t learn a language instead??? Well I am already polyglot (English, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian and French) só I’m ok with that. What about an instrument?? I play guitar (well) bass and piano pretty ok! I just want to have fun now! Thank you for your wonderful energy!

I've decided to learn Shuffle as a way to inject fun cardio into my routine rather than jumping rope or putting more miles on the treadmill. It will be good to laugh (at myself) and get some steps in at the same time. I bet it will make me even lighter on my feet. This is the first place I stopped when the idea struck after sitting down for a late afternoon break while soldering pipes for the new water heater I'm installing in the basement. Will be using Eiffel 65's "Blue" as the soundtrack and will set the goal of hitting every other beat while I figure everything out. Thank you for posting and demonstrating!

Look at J Lo she's over 50, it's about how young we are inside not a number! 💖

[marjoriebennett]

thankful for this; I will keep it up until I can do these steps smoothly. 😀

You are so lovely! I'm not 50, .. yet lol however I have fallen in love with shuffling and want to learn to dance. This is super awesome and inspiring to see. I love it. Funny enough, I ignited the passion for shuffling when I saw a video as I had an ankle injury at the time :') so I couldn't even practice until I had watched several videos of folks shuffling. Thank you for the tips and tricks I'm going to actually use the counter now! I had the inclination to do so, but let my self talk get in the way - no more! Thanks for giving me that courage :)

[vfrman]

Well done Catherine, you have given me the inspiration to have a go. May have to hang on to something to start. Well I am only an 81 year old gent. If you can do this, so can I!

[happydays]

I always thought I had good rhythm but I just can't get the running man foot movement right. Thanks for great video 🤗🙏😘😘

[edwkpti]

Great job! I started to shuffle also, I didn’t stretch my legs before I did the running man - 1st time - lol, let’s just say you need to stretch first.

[nalanianselmi]

You’re adorable - thank you for sharing your training tips. I’m still trying to learn Running Man (he keeps getting away!)

[sheilamehrens]

This looks so fun now I will learn from you. Thank you I'm 72 Henderson NV

[cybrpunk]

You're my inspiration! Your slow running man is so cool and effortless. I'm so clunky with it. I'm like an elephant trying to do it and I'm not even heavy. 😭

Thank you from Tucson, Arizona ! I'm running to the store for some Icy-Hot.
