Episode 25 - Brogan @lil.stompz
In Episode 25 of The Shuffle Curious Podcast, we meet Brogan Carey, a passionate shuffler from Colorado. Originally from Indiana, she found herself drawn to shuffling as she had a background in soccer and musical theater, where choreography and footwork were second
Shuffling was introduced to her in 2019, in a roundabout way. She started raving and delving into dubstep and bass music. However, her fascination with shuffling truly ignited when she witnessed a shuffler at Lollapalooza. This newfound interest was amplified after encountering shuffling on TikTok.
Amidst the pandemic, Brogan channeled her energy into learning shuffling, leveraging her musical theater and soccer background. Her journey, though filled with challenges, led her from primarily focusing on shapes to evolving into a versatile hybrid shuffler. Her musical tastes eventually settled into the groove of house music.
Festivals like Bass Canyon, Global Dance, and the venue, Red Rocks Amphitheatre became the backdrop for some of her fondest memories. Developmentally, she really found her stride during a transformative visit to Puerto Rico and Salt Lake City over the course of 3 months.
In fall 2021, Brogan had a shuffle video go viral on social media and gained a substantial followership, a journey marked by both opportunities and challenges. She shares four crucial concepts that have helped her navigate the digital landscape with mindfulness and balance. Looking ahead, Brogan aims to teach shuffling and to be a gateway to the Shuffle and EDM community, introducing more individuals to the scene that has been so accepting and loving towards her.
Join us in Episode 25 for an enlightening conversation with Brogan Carey, a shuffler whose journey not only encompasses dance mastery but also offers valuable insights into maintaining equilibrium in the ever-evolving realm of social media.
