    Dear Emylee, decided to learn to shuffle for my retirement (giving myself until then, 14 months) -just for me. It just looks fun. Wish me luck -I'm 61 and look like I just parked my Harley (I sold it). My friends think this is hilarious. Your videos seemed the best to follow, and you're great. Thanks much.

      SuperDubleG 61?!!!! OMG!!! Kudos to you! I’m 49 and feel like I’m in cardiac arrest when I try to do it. But I’m not giving up.

    I am almost 40 years old, got laid off during pandemic. Made myself a promise that I am going to learn shuffle and impress myself when I go to music festivals. Now people are looking at me like a weirdo practicing running man on my balcony 😆🤣😂! Can’t wait to see people’s reactions when they see an old guy “cutting shape” !!!

    You're my favourite shuffle dance channel. I love how slowly you show it. Most 'basic' tutorials are still difficult for people who literally can't dance like me.

    Took me a few months but I finally nailed the cowtail! That one was hard yo, definitely a tapping your head while rubbing your belly kinda thing. I literally said I was gonna throw a party when I nailed that move, so party time I guess!

    @viktoriagyulai2210 Před 3 lety +3

    I like your tutorial videos sooo much because you’re very good in it, and second what is the most important to me-> you show all the movements all the time in every each video from the back, without this I can’t really learn. And so far I didn’t see ppl to show steps from the back. Thanks for that a lot and never stop with it, plzzzz! 💞😍☺️

  • @Chico_Goon

    • @sig3363
      @sig3363 Před 4 lety +3

      Start with these: /watch?v=Z0oHxyensok (Charleston), /watch?v=A-9RWQc4tzE (Heel-Toe / Happy Feet), czcams.com/video/RKNJCVtcVoo/video.html (T-Step and then W-Step). As she said, the base of Cutting Shapes is the Charleston.
      This guy (Marktore) is the best shuffler/shaper you will find, I believe.

    • @mintyannotations2718

    You’re a good teacher! How long did these things take you the first time? We never see the struggles... like I get so frustrated sometimes!! I’ve only seen people’s progression videos but never their difficulties! I feel like it should be so much easier watching “how to” vids!! Lol. Ur really good tho and you explain it very well and go at a good pace so we don’t have to keep stopping or skip forward in the vid.

    • @DashiSmash
      @DashiSmash Před 4 lety +7

      I've been practising the moves in this video for 2 months now and I've only just started feeling comfortable with them. It takes time. The first few days trying them, I was not getting it at all. Had to re-watch this video a dozen times in half-speed and then practise them for weeks. I still can't do it as fast as she can, but the moves have at least started to make sense now.

    Op your tutorials honestly these little gold nuggets dropped in witch made it click for me! If you get bored I’d like to see like a shuffle practice along, I usually fuse my practice with a workout, witch would be sick if you did like an insanity style warm up but like when the base drops break out a shuffle or something like that! P.L.U.R 4 Life 😌

    • @muhammedsuleiman8047
      @muhammedsuleiman8047 Před 4 lety

      To be specific this video you dropped that 🤯 with the perspective that shapes is based around the little basic cross.. I watched all sorts of tutorials and I always found the charleston super confusing and now I’m like oh shit it’s base is what you said and it’s clicking like all my random energy burst shuffles that I just do feels better like when I’m grooving having fun not caring about anything keeping the cross in the back of my mind makes it feel so much smooooother!
