The Art of Shuffling, Passionate Community, From Beginner to Pro | Rebel's Shuffle Academy | Ep63

The Art of Shuffling, Passionate Community, From Beginner to Pro | Rebel's Shuffle Academy | Ep63

In this week's episode, we dive deep into rave culture through the world of shuffling.When most people think of dancing at raves, it’s usually swaying or head-nodding to the music. But more and more ravers are bringing different shuffling styles to the dance floor, turning movement into something more expressive and dynamic.Our guests today have taken it to the next level by building a community and teaching the art of shuffling to anyone willing to learn. We sat down with Sabrina (founder of Rebel Industry & Rebel's Shuffle Academy) and Sandra (co-founder of Shuffle Rebellion). Two powerhouses behind Toronto's most iconic shuffling dance community. With them we explore the origins of shuffling, how it spread globally through viral videos and social media trends, and how it evolved into the culture we see today.A bit of a spoiler: it traces back to Melbourne in the late 1980s and later exploded in popularity thanks to tracks like Party Rock Anthem.Want to support the podcast?

What happened on NYE? State of venues in Toronto | Puzzles Entertainment | Ep62

What happened on NYE? State of venues in Toronto | Puzzles Entertainment | Ep62

In this week episode, we’re diving into one of the hottest topics in our local scene right now: The venue situation in Toronto.You’ve probably heard the chatter. Maybe you’ve seen the posts online or had conversations with other ravers or organizers about the lack of venues or variety in the city. “TBA warehouse” but you already know where it is going to be. But is it really just a shortage of spaces, or does the issue run deeper?Joining the conversation today and sharing his insight is Asif, the owner of Puzzles Entertainment. Asif has experienced firsthand the challenges of navigating the local venue landscape while trying to bring his vision to life. So today, with Asif, we’re going to unpack what’s really going on, why it’s happening, and what it could mean for the future of events in Toronto.And as a bit of a spoiler, we’re also going to talk about Puzzles’ New Year’s Eve event, which I know many of you will be curious to hear more about and what really went down that night.We hope you enjoy the episode.
