Dance Development

In 1992, when the name of the dance was confusing in other parts of the world, Australians began to call the dance Shuffle, and the name was confirmed.

The dance emerged in the 1980s in some underground dance venues in Melbourne, Australia, and its individual steps, combined with powerful music and individual costumes, were extremely appealing to the eye.

In December 2002, an Australian newspaper featured Shuffle on its front page, which was the first time Shuffle appeared in the mainstream media, and then spread to Malaysia and Brunei (where Shuffle competitions were held), and then to the United Kingdom, Germany, and other countries. It has been popularized worldwide through the Internet and media outlets such as UrbanDance.Cn Choreography.
