Cupid Shuffle History

History
The dance my group has chosen was the Cupid Shuffle. I researched the history of the Cupid Shuffle. It was written and sang by Bryson Bernard whom stage name is “Cupid”. He had earned his nickname when he performed/sang for the Sam Cooke’s 1960’s single hit “Cupid”. The song Cupid Shuffle was released on February 13, 2007. What inspired Cupid to write the Cupid Shuffle was that before every performance he would always do a line dance and he saw how the crowd had reacted to that and decided he wanted to create a modern-day line dance. Cupid’s was born on October 10, 1982 in Lafayette. He went to the University of Louisiana with a full scholarship for track and field. Cupid had left his track and field team to form/create a singing group

And the Breaksk8 had also danced to the Cupid Shuffle. They performed at America’s Best Dance Crew. The Breaksk8 are dancers who dance on skates. Also the Cupid Shuffle was in the movie “Jumping the Broom”. A fun facts about Cupid is that he was the driving force behind CuRobiks. After he was on the road supporting his music he gained a lot of weight. This concerned him especially since his home state had the highest rate of obesity. A fun fact about the song Cupid Shuffle was that a lot of people had mistaken the lyrics “Down, down, do your dance, do your dance” as “down, down, do your dad, do your dad”.
