This dance way back was called the mashed potato.
Iv solved the actual physics of the Golf Swing if any tour pros want to gain more distance message me.
I'm also 67 and do know it will be a learning curve, and I will take it slow, but I am going to learn this. Come on, Boomers! We still got it!
Charlene Sampson-Ramel Yes sir going to learn this and blow my granddaughters minds and everyone else my age or age group it’s going to be fun.🕶
65...gonna do it!
Charlene Sampson-Ramel 51, and I’m gonna do it.
Charlene Sampson-Ramel , we never lost it!
am 54 and I dance Kathak..
After seeing the principal in China teaching his students to shuffle, I was hooked! Hooked, I tell you! I want to learn the routine he is doing. Yes, I am 53. Yes, I am an overweight trucker. But so what! I think this would be a fun way to exercise!!! I am determined to learn this!
Thats awesome. Post a video when you got it and you'll inspire others to do it too. Lmk when u post it :)
51 Year Old also Trucker, also weighty. ALSO going to learn! 18-down, Teresa.
I believe in you
@@johnnychorgo8795 wonder how she got on?
That would be fun to see in the Flying J parking lot. I'd get out and join the party... while my wife would be thinking that I lost my everlovin' mind, lmao.
I’m 99 years old and I finally got the first 10 steps down after one year. I’m on a roll.
GREAT JOB AND MOTOVATION.
I am 69, and I felt a big slap .....Thank you for sharing your experience.
im 68 with serious knee pain for 2 yrs. my 52 yr old friend was shuffling she said come try it! so i did i felt a pop in my knee! im fricken cured! no more pain! but still suck at shuffling! THANKS FOR THE VIDEO!
Love this. I'm 102 and I love to learn new dances 😘
Never in my life have I ever been satisfied with dance tutors who NEVER EVER EXPLAIN WHAT THEY ARE ACTUALLY DOING. The way you explain this step-by-step makes this the best tutorial ever. Thank you so much
It’s the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
Totally agree 👍👍
I came to comment same! This is the only way I can learn to dance. Thank you!! And PS I’m 54 - so many boomers in here 😂
@@LGAussie OMG 😲 It IS
@@LGAussie it's really not guys lmao. The mashed potato makes your body move much, much wider. When shuffling, you keep a slim profile. It looks totally different from afar, even if the steps are very similar.
There's so many elderly people here I love it so much, you guys are doing something you enjoy and it makes me happy 🥰
Yes I'm 57 old and enjoy this it's amazing.
I'm going to learn this and astound my grandchildren.
Careful you don't astound your knees or ankles...
How’s it going?
I'm 52 and am going to learn this do I can dance at my kid's weddings.
@@dinkaboutit4228 hahaha👌
hahahaha... I was just thinking the same thing!
The best tutor to help understand in the easiest possible way. Age is no bar and I love the way he is so cool.
Well I see many of Us seniors are here.
Why?
Because we couldn’t dance when we were young and at the discotheque and we were too worried about what folk thought.
Now we don’t care who laughs and we are going to get dem old bones movin.
Take notice young’uns, dance like nobody’s watching whilst ya can.
And off I go to begin my moooooves.
♥️❤️♥️❤️
Yes, definitely!!!!!
tis true ....i wanna bust these moves in my local club ....suprise some guys n gals !!
I honestly think you're kind of a genius for the way you set this up!! 😀
+1
I agree. Genius
I guess I've been under a rock because this is my first encounter with this dance. Is there a video with music showing the steps?
Never mind. 😊 I found other videos. 🙄
Yeah so so Awesome👍🏾👌🏾
Not only are you teaching how to shuffle, but also how to teach. Great job!!
Exactly
Ron B teaching is a highly underrated talent
My language! 🙌 Awesome Explanation, step by step 🙌
Great balance, coordination, and teaching! 5️⃣ ✴️
It's "only" a shuffle tutorial but all the thinking you put on this makes it pure awesomeness ! The art of helping people. Thanks
I'm 76 and this is awesome. It brings tears to my eyes. Thank you so much.
May you and yours stay well and prosper.
Terry
All these old people commenting is really encouraging to me! Makes me realize at 40, I've got nothing to worry about!!
How do you know people's age? Is there like a form where they confirm their age before commenting?
@@HamishBanish its called the comment section.
yes maam OC ( original commnenter) Im 48 and sometimes feeling like my life is over,those folks above are totally inspiring!
This may be the first video where “Best Tutorial Ever” is true. Thank you for posting.
Great video! I will definitely give it a go! Love to dance🌺
Wow, I see most of the comments are from aging Boomers. Yes, we want to look cool at any age. I'm 66 and did every dance craze and loved it. Looks like good exercise too. Thanks for your clear concise instructions.
i am a cooldog and I am 72!
I believe it would be good exercise. Start slow and work your way up. Remember to stretch first.
Im Gen X, and I want to learn...
Like the Mashed Potatoe. That is what the feet aee doing.
65 😂
I'm 55 years old.
I have no idea how I got here.
I'm going to give it a go.
There will be no video.
Am loving that some of us 'older folk' are checking this out....I'm 56 and wanna try this too....have some hip pain though so I'm taking it slow .....there will be no video from me either :-)
@@AlanSharland I'm ten years behind you. Let's make it happen cap'n!
Im going shock (or mortify) the heck outta my kids next time we're hanging out!
you guys got here by clicking on EDM shuffling videos with hot girls in the thumbnail like the rest of us.
me too!
😂😂😂
I’m almost 60 and you’re tutorials have helped me to realize that I’m not too old to start learning how to dance. I love it, thanks so much!!
Great stuff Patty , go for it , live life to the max yay you go girl.👍
67 y/o here too! Remember HS dances - I was that girl who danced all over the gym with or without a fella! Now I’ve got arthritis and extra pounds but I’ve got to learn to shuffle! Thanks for the lesson😊😊😊
You're just the best shuffle teacher in UA-cam for a beginner. Now this all makes sense. Male age 44 started shuffling couple of weeks ago. I really didn't understand weight movement. Now I do
I m 57..n plan to learn how to shuffle..
I'm 46!! How's the shuffle going for y'all?
Go for it! It’s basically the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
@@LGAussie ha ha ha I remember the Mash Potato dance. I also love mashed potatoes. Hee hee
Absolutely first rate instruction. The focus on outside/inside, weight change etc. sets your video above all the others I’ve seen. Also I appreciate that you show the relevant action rather than mugging at the camera the whole time. And you make it accessible. Well done.
So we're all 60+ here? That's badass! Keep on shufflin bro's!
Ur not even close!?
You make it look so easy. Thank you! I am only 54 and used to dance and bop around everywhere I went. I came down with transverse myelitis in sept2020 resulting in spinal cord injury and a form of paralysis that requires me to have my heels firmly planted with each step when learning to walk again. I am going to follow your tutorial because I think this is an achievable goal. Will start using a frame for support and progress to dancing around a walking stick once I have it licked. A different kind of shuffle than what I am starting with😉😂
Go, you! How is your progress?
Can we get an update?
Brave plan. How is it going?
I said a power prayer of healing. But applied it to you instead of me. To the infant of Prague. I said a prayer for my co worker who had no hope to pay his taxes & he won 100k
Jaydaydesign: I hear you my friend. I was really badly injured when somebody hit me from behind. I had a little sports car, and he had an early 80s Oldsmobile. The bedridden years were no joke. You have lots of company in this journey, who have ended up there in a lot of ways; hopefully some people who have Successfully dealt with disability from the exact same cars as you have, why leave some comments that might be useful and encouraging.
There is a bit of a roundabout way to get the muscles working again. You start with a small one that you can still move easily. And then you just modify the movers until you’re stretching or engaging the muscles next to it. Before you know it, you’ve got a wider range of motion. You might also find out it could help you to exercise in a swimming pool. Most of the people with whom I’ve worked I found that they like to rent a private or hotel pool for an hour or two at a time to work together. It truly helps to have the buoyancy on your side when you’re trying to get your range of motion back, at least for everybody I’ve ever known that’s had to go through it. And it’s certainly fine to use a PFD or a life jacket to feel safe and that situation if you need to.
If you find a buddy to take with you that you could have a little bit of fun with, it’ll take your healing time down quite a bit.
Physiotherapist might be able to help you on this journey. They have specialized training, and can do a lot, both passive and active, to speed your progress.
I can hardly wait till you come back here sometime to say that you were able to finally start this journey to shuffle dancing.❤️
Soooo great. I'm 69 and skate professionally and dance as well.
But since getting older , I have lost all coordination and movement. I walk with a Walker or I'm in a wheel chair.
I loved watching the shuffle but couldnt even begin.
But your video is so easy to follow!
I actually got the first steps down(from my wheel chair) and working on the others.
Thank you so much for helping to restore movement in my feet and legs
I'm 91 and practicing while sitting on the toilet
Hell yea!
best for your balance
Too Much Information
Are u actually 91
@@poppyreynolds940 speak up sonny, I cant hear you 🦻
I first saw the videos of the Chinese people doing this Shuffle dance and it looked so cool, I wanted to learn. I use to stay in shape in the 70's disco dancing, but as I started working and having a child to look after that all fell by the way side. I'm over weight, not too fat, but fat enough. I've put on about 60ls. and want to get in shape. I'm retired and I have the time and when I saw this dancing, I just fell in love with it. I'm determined to learn and I appreciate you putting this video out. 67 isn't too old, right?
It is the best time!
I believe... plus if you really do it... not only will you dance amazing but you will enjoy your new body.. check out edm festivals as people shuffle ..plenty of youtube videos. Plus anything you practice over and over only becomes easier. NO MATTER what. If you do know something, its because you havent studied it or practiced it. Everyone is a white belt at first, even i was.
It'd be a fun workout 😎
judy valencia it's never too late Judy, you go get shuffling girl.
@@primatearmy Thanks. I'm going to try!
I am 70 and I love this dance. I have NEVER danced. No school dances no date dancing. I feel completely uncoordinated with moving my body parts in different directions at the same time. This dance makes me want to dance so I am going to try it. The people in the tutorials are so cute and good dancers. Thank you for the time you took to teach us the steps.
Go for it! It’s basically the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
I have been trying to figure this out for years. You are correct....this is the best tutorial on this.
I love how you get technical about things. I find when you understand what's going on technically speaking rather than just trying to mimic what the other person is doing, it's much easier to learn.
Exactly. I had trouble at first until i figured out what exactly was going on. I knew it would help others also so i made a video. watch some of my other videos. its so odd how this video is viewed more than other i make.
You obviously are gifted to teach. This is very well explained and taught.
JC, you make this understandable and plausible for anyone to "look like they are feeling the music". Excellent tutorial with logical progressions and modeling of every element of each move. Well Done Sir!
This really IS The easiest way to learn to shuffle. You are the best teacher ever! Forgot to mention i'm 77. I won’t be dancing fast, but thanks to you, I will be dancing.
Thank you so much for your tutorial in shuffling. I am in my mid 70's and I will definitely practice until I learn, you are the person I want to meet, very nicely explained, also nicely spoken.. well done. Blessings to you from my heart
I’m watching this while laying in bed. I’m not moving at all!
Who Cares?!?
I’m 60 years old and I don’t know how I got here this should be my New Year’s resolution learn the shuffle. Lol
There you go. Me, too.
Did you learn Gia?
It’s the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
I liked this so much that I created the taped markings on two separate 3'x3' insulation boards (shiny side up). Over the past hour I have accomplished more than I have in occasional practice sessions over the past several months. I admit it is easy for an old guy to hurt his knees doing these moves the wrong way. Your slow, right-brain explanations, have got me doings these more safely, provided I don't get too excited and move too quickly, slip, and fall on my can as I'm showing off to my wife =). A lot of shuffle dance tutorials seem to focus more on the instructors dance ability rather than on clearly defined instructional techniques. Thanks!!
You're video title is correct.....this IS the best tutorial ever!
I'm 68 and really want to learn this.
Great excercise, and definitely a learning curve. It's going to take a while, but want to surprise my family.
My great grandma taught me the Charleston when I was ten, this shuffling has come natural to me at 67! Thanks Gma!❤
This is an awesome tutorial. I have watched other tutorials on shuffling; it looked easy but still could not get it. You taught the two essential foot positions: V-shaped, heels together, at the beat; heels away from each other in between. Thank you!
Your a very good instructor here indeed friend...This is awesome...thanks very much
This might, infact - be the best tutorial ever.
It certainly is
It’s like a 60’s dance, the mashed potato, the way you show it.
Yes! That’s what I said. Nothing new. Just changes slightly. Everything repeats itself eventually.
That’s the very first thing I thought of as well. It also has some of the Charleston in it as well. Man, I guess I sound Old 👵🏼👵🏼👵🏼and I’m only 56 yrs young🤣🤣🤣🤣 but my Grandmother taught me those two dances because she knew that I Loved dancing and I wanted to learn all kinds of dances and I have. Different culture one too.
@@desireea.thomas2419 Not really, i just watched and made exact same comments. What goes around comes around I guess.
71 year old grandmother here. This is the best tute for learning this dance. I have looked at a few, and yup this is the best.Giving it a go, it helps without the music because makes me rush it and I'm a bit slow.
My kitten has never watched TV but she is fascinated by this
Turned my phone backwards, followed along and it worked. Great tutorial. Thanks!
A very clear demonstration. I used to do this dance years ago and then forgot how. This video helped me remember the steps! Cheers!!
Same here 😊
Awesome I'm 64 with knee revision and so easy to follow! Wonderful instructor!💃❤
I'm 78 and love to watch shuffle dance. Your tutorial is a gem. I'll watch it and practice a few steps. Thanks for the rejuvenation idea. ciao.
Omg!!! Thank you so much for this!! I was about to give up learning this dance but now that I found your tutorials I’m so happy and excited to learn again!! ✨ thank you thank you!
You’re a great teacher, the explanation breakdown, with a visual and in natural slow mo speed for us learners. 😊 I appreciate the tape markers! I get lost in the world of dancing! I always practiced in my room for the next time. This dance is on a new level. Practice, practice 👍
I've tried so many other beginner tutorials and this is THE BEST one! thank you so much!!
The breakdown of the dance is superbly explained..... easily the best "how to" video on UA-cam
I'm 64 & learning it too, it fascinating, i love it. My family & grandchildren will be so surprised.
I'm 65 and I like this dance, Gunna give it a go
It’s the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
So am I,
Absolutely love the step-by-step pace of this video! Thank you for teaching a beginner like me!
I think this is a real good overall nimbleness exercise for all ages, even for seniors, and much easier on joints than jumping rope. I'm gonna learn to do it. Thank you for the tutorial.
This is the mental/physical fun exercise for seniors, really!!!
Thanks for your teachings, very easily to learn with the lady who is over 70 yrs-old💝🙏😍
Brilliant!!! Hands down THE best explanation on UA-cam. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am finally mastering this. 🤗
I made this video for you. Practice a little each day. Shuffling allows you to express yourself in the coolest ways.
This is by far the best video I found that goes slowly into the detail of how to do this dance. I have been wanting to learn it for a while and cannot figure out how its done. I'm going to follow and learn all the different lessons on how to achieve this dance from this UA-camr. I'm 60 and want to learn this so bad as its fun and good excersize. Thanks for making this video. I'm going to lay my blue tape down today. Hee hee
Looks like a variation of the Charleston..... foot wise! Love it and will learn it.....Fun and healthy!!
I'm 69 and obsessed! So many tutorials and just when I think I've got it, que up the music....and when my feet are supposed to start shufflin'..... they won't! I think this one will help if I switch to an old Barry White track. And build up my cardio endurance! Jeeez....looks so ez & fun! happy energy🤪🙂😁
Well i am 74,and i am defenatly going to practice it and show my grandchildren, i love it!!
I just turned 70 and I'm going to learn this for exercise.
capstar633 go check out my UA-cam channel .... Elements shuffle dance group 😊
Go 4 it
Go for it! It’s basically the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
Are you now a mad mashed potato shuffler - how did it go for you?
Love the details given here, thank you! I used to dance in my late teens and twenties, just night clubs and around the house. I’m 57 now and so out of shape but I still feel the music trying to make me move. It just feels SO awkward now! I ha eloped watching all the shuffle videos. So thank you for sharing this! 😊
His first steps were from a dance we did back in the early 60's call the Mash Potatoes. LOL
William, you are absolutely right! In fact, the major bulk of this video is spent breaking down that particular shuffle move which -- I agree -- essentially *is* the mashed potatoes. You had this thing down YEEEERS ago!
(Just noticed - if you hit "show more" in the description, he points out what just what you said. That this dance was originally called the mashed potato. You go, Will!! :))
Tracy Turnblad
YES!! 😀👍🏼
@@drewga403 Still gotta go back a little further, that's not quite the origin! It's a 1920s jazz dance called The Charleston, originating in Charleston, SC. Here's Al Minns & Leon James bringing it to the masses in some of the earliest footage of this style. ua-cam.com/video/s58iTzznkp0/v-deo.html
JC - You broke the code to teaching Dance on UA-cam ~ My Man!! I have seen complicated dance pattens in books and have thought that's crazy!! How can anyone learn dance from a book - with UA-cam technology YOU made the patterns interactive and repeatable for home viewers! You are the first I have seen and I have been surfing for three years. Thanks for keeping the focus on your feet and the floor. Shuffle dance is unique the flair with the arms will flow later. In Dance it all starts with the feet and moves up & on ward! BRAVO in your teaching technique!
I watch cooking demos too and the best cooking demo are the ones that keep the camera on the hand and the bowl or pan, not their face and kitchen. Your feet and floor focus is brilliant! Shuffle dance is for everyone who can skip! Your dedication to TEACH is genuine, you are generous and gifted teacher. I hope when you dance in public you FULLY ENJOY YOUR SHINE TIME!
I'm not surprised to see older people here. The swing is from the 20's and up to the late 50's, this is another revival & solo version, so yes, of course they are here! Look at Jazz and how people dance in country and more, the swing is there, in one form or another. I'm happy to see it is back again, and making everyone want to dance, dance, dance. Thank you for the great tutorial.
Thank you for your tutoring . I watched so many videos but I couldn’t do it because it was in Chinese language . Your tutoring is so clear and very helpful. Now I can learn how to do shuffle dance .
I think you're the best in making it so easy, because you've marked the floor. I saw so many videos, yours is certainly the best. Thank You for making it and uploading it. Hopefully, I learn it. And the best was telling us that it is easier than skipping a rope.
Love this. I’m 72 but love to learn new steps. I wish you would have done a whole routine to music at the end. You are a very good instructor. I’m going to start practicing!
I am in my sixties, and I am laying in bed doing these moves, but less extreme to avoid straining my back. Even one foot, then the other works. It is an amazing workout! You don't have to carry all your weight, and the blood flow is refreshing. It helps circulation. My body fat is 23%, but I used to weigh 60 lbs more. Even weighing more, I think I could have managed some good isometric movements like this. I think this concept of laying down and doing this could be good for some seniors.
You are absolutely right when you say it is all about the shifting of the weight. So true of any dance. You have to know the center of gravity for your body in the steps.
I have done a lot of tutorials. This one is truly the best. It is really starting to click. The heels together was HUgE for me! Thank you! 😊
So glad it helped
Thank you for the tutorial. I'm a teenager recovering from a knee injury trying to learn how to dance again. I still haven't gotten the hang of fluidly shifting my weight as you instructed, but I'm sure I'm close. Thank you for the video.
Do your guests shuffle when they enter your home ?
Wow I love it ... I'm a drummer and I can see your point in the beat with the heals, I think your awesome for helping us people out here!
Thank you so very much !!!
At 64 and a bit unfit, this is a brilliant video with easy to understand steps to the subtleties of the moves. Loving it to bits, thank you!
I’m 67 too! Will be learning this! Best tutorial I’ve seen!
That is the BEST tutorial I have yet to see! Thank you for that breakdown makes so much sense now and how it always looks so effortless when I see people shuffling. I will try to master these basics before moving on. Look forward to your other steps 🙌🏽
This is so clearly shown from simple to complex. I was sure I wouldn't be able to figure this out with no dance background, but I can follow your method explained. Thank you!
I fell asleep about 4 minutes in and dreamt that I was shuffling naked on the steps of the Lincoln Memorial and the statue of Abe jumped up and joined me. I woke up in a cold sweat wearing nothing but my green high top Converses. And I’m 62.
51 years old. I've wanted to learn this for years. FINALLY! People are teaching! Yay!!!
And for the younger people reading this...this will be you too 😉
Let's do this! Maybe we should figure out a way to get the older people together and make our own videos hahaha
Im 50. I eat a lot of salads & superfoods.
I'm 61 and it's so good to hear all the boomers into this
I'm obsessed with learning this!
Ok, OMG, I have never danced before, and I keep watching dance videos and I'm all amazed at the people in them. So I found this video to start learning..... you do a great job, and I am going to be watching this and trying every day. You took something that seemed like magic and broke it down.... now I just need to keep practicing. Good lord, I should join a class just so I can make all the other people feel better, lol Actually, I think I'm going to record myself today, day 1, then every few days, just to see my own improvement, lol
I'm 71 , I like the electric slide and the Cupid shuffle. I'm gonna learn more line dancing.
Go for it! It’s basically the mashed potato, everything repeats itself eventually.
Просто и понятно - молодец!
The marks on the floor make it make so much sense. There is a dance museum near where I live that did a similar thing, guiding people through ballet feet positions and, I think, a waltz.
Yep me also, yours is the first tutorial I can understand. Awesome bit by bit ill get it 63yrs young and its a brain exercise also 😂 thanks for your breaking it down so well all the others are just too quick 😊😊😂
Thanks so much! I just found this video I subscribed, I want to learn it's so cool I'm 52 years old girl who thinks " it's never too late"👍💞
Norma Leticia Andrade ..its okay to say
Lady
What's wrong with being a woman?
Whether or not it is too late, is for sure NOT determined by age! Age says nothing about your shape! It may be way too late for you at 20 yrs and you may start training like there is no tomorrow at 75! I would have loved doing this, great videos, but sadly it is not for me, even if I am about your age...
it is
Norma Leticia Andrade It’s never too late I’m going to learn this and my granddaughters there Jaw will drop, it’s going to be fun.🕶
The best shuffle dance tutorial ever. Thank you!
THIS IS THE BEST SHUFFLE TUTORIAL
Love the diagrams on the floor and the training on weight distribution ... Male logic always makes for good training ... well done on the tools you have devised to make it easy for beginners.
Alasdair McBryde agreed
As an older person I appreciate this excellent help at the beginning lots of tips and at 7.05 mins in where it’s leading to .I would recommend looking at 7.05 to the end a few times and then go back to the start if your totally new to this it will help you from being a little overwhelmed as lots of moves covered
Good luck all
keep active stay healthy eat wisely
51 and in my kitchen trying it right now! It’s a lot harder than you think! Will have to keep going over and over it....unfortunately I’m one of those people where it takes me such a long time to get something..longer than most but when I do, I don’t do a bad job! Way to go over 50’s. I just literally found this channel, looked at the first 3 comments and they were all over 50’s. defo helped with my confidence...my aim is to shuffle dance to the one and only Elvis Aaron Presley.....😘😘😘
So understandable. Steps broken down so clearly. Absolutely a great video! Thank you
Love all six of your shuffle tutorials! They're done exactly the best way for me to learn! Please do some of the other shuffle moves also! Thanks so much!
Thank you so much. I mastered the twist when I was younger but now I need and want to shuffle. Thanks for this.
You are an excellent teacher. Very few teachers can break the intricate be steps to a task.Iwas an intervention specialist, special coordinator admin.and professor of moderate,severe and profound students for 42 years. Thank You.
I'm 74 in Dec. I'm also learning balette. Tough but take it slow you will get their. So fun to dance an so good for us seniors. Not dead yet so get out their an show em all. Also thank you for the lesson. You made it easy for even me. God bless us sll.
