All About Dancing Info Blog

Line Dancing to me is all about FUN! Your out with your friends and the music starts and you jump up to a place in the line and you begin to move to the beat and the steps of the other people in the line. It is also great exercise as you move back and forth, stomping, clapping and shaking your bootie. The formal definition of Line Dancing can be found, of course, on wiki: Although line dancing is associated with country-western music and dance, it has a similarities to folk dancing. Many folk dances are danced in unison in a single, nonlinear “line”, and often with a connection between dancers. The absence of a physical connection between dancers is, however, a distinguishing feature of country western line dance. Line dances have accompanied many popular music styles since the early 1970s including pop, swing, rock and roll, disco, latin (Salsa Suelta), and Jazz.

Popular Line Dances:
The Time Warp, Poco-Poco ,Electric Slide, Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart), Cha Cha Slide, The Hustle, Cupid Shuffle, Boot Scootin’ Boogie, Achy Breaky Heart, Alley Cat, Macarena, Chicken Dance, Cotton Eye Joe, Soulja Boy, Copperhead Road, Catfish, Charleston, Tennessee Twister, Pensacola Slide, Power Jam, Blue Boy, Cripple Creek, Jose Cuervo ’97, Booty Call, Mustang Sally, Wild Wild West, Cruisin’, Tulsa Shuffle, Cleveland Shuffle, Play Something Country, Good Time (as seen on the Alan Jackson video for the song Good Time), Hoedown Throwdown.
