Country Line Dance Steps

On any given night in bars across the nation, happy people are moving their polished boots through country line dance steps. The dance’s popularity may lie in part in the fact that unlike most other social dances, country line dancing does not require the partners to learn how to dance in pairs. Instead, the dancers are independently moving while also synchronized to the music.

The roots of line dancing are not, as many think, rooted in cowboy culture or Western dancing. Most of the original steps are drawn from disco line dances from the 70′s such as the Electric Slide. While disco eventually died, the culture of country western music continued to develop.

With a lack of contact between the dancers, country line dance steps lend themselves to an atmosphere of flirtation and coquettish teasing. Several examples of these dances include:

• Cotton-Eye Joe
• El Paso
• Barn Dance– a mixer where partners switch as the dance progresses.
• Indian Outlaw
• Cowboy Cha-Cha– dancers in “sweetheart” position, moving together
• Walkin Wazi
• Cowboy Boogie
• Achy Breaky Heart

While the dancing itself has become very popular, not all country musicians are happy with the repetitive and simplistic structure of the music.
