Line dancing has been in and out of popular culture since the 1970s.
Although it was a very common dance for a while, it went through a period of decline after the 1980s.
However, there has been a recent resurgence of line dancing that has got people of all ages stomping around the dancefloor.
Historians maintain that line dancing began around the 19th century.
It was a folk-like dance that the American settlers liked to do.
The dance and the music have changed a bit since then–it now has more of a country-music feel to it.
If you’re not familiar with it, line dancing is a sort of choreographed group-dance.
The steps are already decided, so you just need to join in on the dancing and move your feet along with everyone else.
Alan Jackson is one of the most famous line dancing musical artists, best known for his hit song, “Chattahoochee.”
There are plenty of videos that you can look up on Youtube which feature a choreographed dance–line dancing in particular.

However, when one all-female group decides to show off their moves, they stand out among the rest.
They start off on stage, all clad in the same look–jeans, cowgirl hats, boots, and flannels over a white shirt.
When the music starts, the crowd is ready to watch what they came to see.
It’s clear from the beginning that these women have this dance down.
Their steps start simple, but each one is made at the perfect time, right in sync with the person to their side.
Line dancing can tend to be primarily made up of foot-movements.
However, these ladies don’t hesitate to incorporate other parts of their bodies as well.
They clap to the beat, raise their boots to their hands, and swivel their hips in all sorts of directions.
The crowd is loving the performance.
They let out cheers and applause whenever the women pull off something particularly impressive.
Of course, these women have each step memorized–they look like they are connected as one continuous dancer.
However, it’s not just their feet that are moving in-sync.
They are also all sharing the same facial expression throughout the entire dance.
It is nothing but smiles from these ladies.
The women get the rest of the crowd involved by clapping their hands and inviting others to do so as well.
This is one of those performances that offer more than just a show.
This is a dance that moves the crowd–one that they get to be a part of, rather than just being a bystander to.
If you have any interest in learning to line dance, then you really need to watch this video.
Take note of how the women move and the way that they stomp their feet.
Just by watching these women dance, you will become a better line dancer.
However, line dancing is meant to be done in a group, so go find a bar or restaurant that offers line dancing and start moving those feet!
