How to Shuffle Dance Over 50 - Shuffle Dance Tutorial for Beginners - My Method Intro & Running Man

This is a shuffle dance tutorial for beginners who want to learn how to shuffle as quickly and easily as possible. The first in a series, this one covers a key shuffle move - the Running Man - as well as explaining my simple method for anyone, especially those over 50, wishing to learn this difficult skill.

Why bother? For those, like myself, that don't enjoy traditional "cardio", this is a great workout - it will definitely get your heart rate up! GET YOUR DOCTOR'S PERMISSION BEFORE STARTING! It also develops calf muscle strength, coordination and balance. If you are interested in EDM or shuffle dancing, I believe you will find this video very useful.

Having only relatively recently learned to shuffle dance myself in my mid 50s, I do not in any way pretend to be a professional dancer. However, I know firsthand how difficult it can be to know what to focus on at the beginning and feel I have some insight regarding what it takes to simplify the process.

I would like to minimize the confusion by presenting only 3 basic moves - the Running Man, the Modified Charleston, and the T-step, each with their own video. This will be followed by 1-2 videos combining these moves into a shuffle dance practice routine to allow you to get comfortable changing between each shuffle movement.

I explain the process in this video as well as presenting the Running Man in the simplest way possible for an absolute beginner to learn. Even so, it will still take practice but you can do it. Don't give up - the more you practice, the better you will get. Do this until the next video and get ready to amaze your friends!

I though I was the only one past 60 wanting to learn this. Nice to know I'm not alone.

I'm 66 and have finally mastered the shuffle. It took me about 3 months and I even practiced in my sleep. lol

65 year old here. Tried many tutorials.. until this . This is it. Big thanks 🙏🏽

I must tell you: it's much easier at the beginning if you hold the edge of a table with a hand. That way you can easily keep your balance. I practiced for an hour and now I can do the running man quite comfortably!!!!😊😊😊

Hooray! A real step-by-step instruction by someone who understands the learning process. At 84, I seem to have got the shuffle but struggling with the dance.

I have to say, this video gave me a lot more confidence than watching young and very fit people teach it. Thanks!

Yahoo! What a fun way to exercise and keep our more mature brains pliable - never stop moving and learning.

Shuffle dancing popped up in my feed. I’ve never seen it before but absolutely loved watching these young adults and kids dancing. So did a couple of searches and came across your video and to my surprise there are people in the comments my age, younger and much older who are doing this. I love dancing but don’t go out much because I’m a nurse who works shifts. This is going to be my new hobby

[remyzsissis]

Thank you for this video. The instructions are broken down into parts that this old brain and body can process! I will be 70 years old in August and am bound and determined to learn to do this by that time. Thanks to the comments from those over 60, it seems it might be possible!

Awesome! Where were you in the 90s when I was clubbing and trying to figure this move out when I was in my 20s, 😁. Now I'll make it my goal to master it in my 50s. 😆

[brigitteschultheiss]

Thank you for the way you teach us shuffle dance. I am 77 and my friends think I can do it! With your help I will! And I don't mind to try 10000 times😅

[TRHMeek]

Thank you! I’m 14 and I’ve been wanting to shuffle for a couple days now, but I kept getting confused thankfully your video has helped me get a hang of the basics. Thank you

[shirleycoonerty]

Thank you!! At 59 I’ve been watching so many clips trying to take my first steps and this is perfect and gives me confidence that I can do this!! Fun way to stay fit into my 60’s. Keep up the great work!! 💃

Well done dude, I've always loved jazz, swing specially, I found all those kids dancing like they were made of rubber or so, this rhythm and the moves incite me to start trying to dance this music, I'm too in my middle 50's and have many preconception about starting, but you have encouraged me to give a try, thanks.

[evelyngotbeter]

I'm 50, and I'm recently trying to learn how to shuffle dance. Thank you for teaching, for those advanced in age like myself. Because I sometimes find myself trying to dance as if I'm in my 20's when I'm not. So this really helps. So healthy. Thank you.

[ameirenterprises]

Im 74 and I’m learning too. I think this is cool.

[restorativelisteningproject]

This is the best breakdown of this step ever. Thank you so much!!

[bellabong]

This was so helpful! The first shuffle tutorial video that actually made it make sense to my body. Thank you!

[marychristmas]

Thanks for this, really helpful for a middle aged mum with two left feet!

[spiderguru]

Presented in a simple and easy to follow way. Thanks 🙏
