The shuffle or what is more popularly known as the Melbourne shuffle is a dance style created in the underground parties in Melbourne, Australia during the early 1990s. The basic movements are a fast heel and toe action with a style suitable for various types of electronic music. Some variants include arm movements. Melbourne shuffle footwork is based on Celtic dance, in particular Irish dance. Since the days of the Gold Rush in Australia, there has been a large Celtic population in Melbourne, mainly from Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Spain (Iberia) and France (Gaul). The Melbourne shuffle is gaining popularity in many countries around the world due in no small part to the many shuffle videos that have been posted on YouTube.
