First off, the classic piano riff is really catchy! With this vibe, I think it will be widely supported.

The tempo is spot on, so it should be very easy to use.

It’s a track I can recommend even to beginners.

The arrangement has clear on-and-off contrasts with the break and drop, so it doesn’t feel complicated overall.

It has a strong, straight-ahead groove, and the bass is well-balanced while making it easy to keep the tempo.

I think it can suit a wide range of shuffle dancers.

The tempo is very fast, and matching the steps perfectly at first is unrealistic, so for beginner practice, try keeping the rhythm at half speed.

Make sure to firmly grasp the basic step patterns.

Check your footwork in front of a mirror, and once you get used to it, try songs at the normal tempo.

At the beginning, you may really want to move your feet quickly, but let your body get accustomed to the movements so you don’t develop bad habits.

Give it a try!

PolarMORTEN

MORTEN – Polar (Official Audio)

A release from Spinnin’ Records, one of the leading labels in EDM.

Focusing on the beat itself, it leaves an impression with a somewhat exotic vibe seemingly influenced by dance music from Afro and Latin styles.

It’s a peak-time track with a mysterious mood, recommended for those who enjoy a harder edge.

It’s a straightforward track with catchy vocals, so I have a feeling it’ll come in handy when everyone wants to get hyped together.

It’s got that vibe that makes you want to dance in a circle.

I think it would also fit perfectly if you hit a unison move with shuffle dance.

The sub-bass is really solid, too.

Even with low-output speakers, you should be able to clearly catch the tempo and the bass definition, so this is my top recommendation.

The structure follows a classic progression, so people around you won’t get confused.

It’s a 2018 floor hit released as a collaboration with Hardwell joining the duo Dimitri Vegas & Like Mike.

It’s what you’d call big room house.

You can feel the massive sense of scale from the music video, right? I bet many people will feel like doing shuffle dance at outdoor festivals after watching it.

Give it a try—practice and see how it goes!

TakedownDirty Palm

This is Dirty Palm, a DJ from Hungary who captivates listeners with creative sound design.

Influenced by the hugely popular DJ Deorro, he took a serious step into the world of EDM.

Here’s a track called “Takedown,” released by Dirty Palm in 2019.

Its sticky, ear-grabbing sound crafts a groove that’s irresistibly addictive.

Let yourself be swept away by the intensely repeating ups and downs!

It boldly samples the melody line from a-ha’s “Take On Me.” A bouncy track with a catchy, sing-along vibe.

It briefly drops in breakbeats—something not often heard in this kind of dance music—so it might sound a bit fresh to people who do shuffle dance.

It could also be fun to switch up the arrangement and perform a different dance during that part.

In conclusion

So far, I’ve introduced songs that are perfect for shuffle dancing! Did you find any tracks that make you want to dance? I mainly picked bouncy tunes.

They could be great for practice, parties with friends, or even for posting on social media! I’d be happy if you use them.
