The Melbourne Shuffle was one of several dances that emerged during the acid house era. Some have described the main dance styles in that period as jacking, stepping and shuffling. However, as the acid house genre became more diverse, two different but not mutually exclusive dance philosophies evolved; the back-step and the shuffle. The Shuffle has continued to evolve in Melbourne nightclubs and events over the years and has adopted moves from established dance styles such as hat tricks, spins and running on the spot moves have been thrown in over time.

Some of the major events, clubs and communities that took part in the evolution of the shuffle over the years are:
