Have you ever line danced before? If you havenât, you should give it a try!
Itâs one of the most fun ways to enjoy dancing to music without worrying about doing such a great job.
The steps are easy and repetitive; you donât need to be a pro to have a good time.
Thatâs what makes line dancing such a fun group or community get-together!
Line dancing is popularly known to be danced with country music.
People might assume that the famous dance originated from country-western dancing, but its roots were believed to have come from folk dancing, specifically Contra dancing.
It is an American folk dance where dancers do a series of dance movements while standing in two parallel lines.
It was only between the 80s and 90s when line dancing was danced to popular country songs.
One country hit that was popular among line dancers was âAchy Breaky Heartâ by Billy Ray Cyrus.
This started a wave of country music used for line dancing until it intersected with pop music and folk-pop.
So, what makes line dancing fun and still relevant now?
Itâs a simple dance that many can enjoy.
Everyone can do it in unison, forming lines or rows and having a good time.
One canât even care if theyâre doing it right at first because the steps get repeated throughout the song, and all get the hang of it.
A video of people line dancing in a fun convention captured the interest of those who love this popular dance.
Choreographers David Vilellas and Julien performed with a massive crowd in the Lost In Me â Workshop Cavaillon.
The two led the way as the others followed suit as they moved to the tune of Nathan Carterâs “Wagon Wheel.”
Line dancing has different formats depending on the songâs number of beats.
The beats of the songs referred to as counts, are equivalent to one move â be it the legs or feet or even with the hands.
This “Wagon Wheel” performance has 64 counts in one complete sequence (or set) of the dance steps.
Once the sequence is done, you do it over again.
David and Julien donned their favorite cowboy outfits that fit the dance well.
Wearing their buttoned-down shirt, tight jeans, cowboy hats, and boots, the two led the crowd in each step and easily moved along the beat.
Every boot stomp, step, slide, and kick was in sync, and thatâs the beauty of a simple dance like line dancing.
You can tell that the audience who danced along had a great time.
Everyone was all smiles and vastly improved at every repetition of the dance sequence, and they ended the number with smiles on their faces.
All those beaming faces say it all. Can we get a big âyeehawâ for that fantastic performance?
Even YouTube viewers enjoyed every bit of it.
They applauded David and Julien not only for their grace in dancing but also for how they led the entire crowd the entire dance.
A viewer named Jose Martinez wrote:
âThe best part of this video was the audience dancing. Amazing. Concerts should be like this one. No sitting, no standing, but dancing.â
And we couldnât agree more.
