I Didn't Know that a line dance would be written to a nice peppy two step country song. I'm really enjoying the song and can't wait to try the dance live! Thank you choreographers Alan G Birchall & Jacqui.
Here's another line dance done to a movin' two step! It's name? Hip Hop Honky Stomp choreographed by Regina Cheung.

New line dances - 10/24
First new dance up is Marie Sorensen's Margaritas & Senoritas. I think you'll enjoy the easy latin beat of this beginner level dance.
No Llores, by Ria Vos, is an intermediate level line dance whose music has a good latin feel to it.
It's that time of the year again... Hallowe'en! Dodo Wong's Silly Spooks is a nice beginner level line dance whose music sounds just right for the holiday.
Want to try a dance out that goes to Michael Jackson's Thriller? Why not try Winnie Yu's Thriller line dance? Many of the moves look like they are modeled after the moves done in the music video. It looks like great fun!

Learn in the middle
Line dancing tip -
If you are learning a dance for the first time and want to have the best chance of seeing the steps and having fun, you will want to position yourself in the middle of the dance floor behind the instructor. This might sound scary, but the middle is the best place to start because most dances face different walls, and you will always have someone in front of you so you're not "out on an island", so to speak, at any point. You also get to watch the instructor more closely (they're supposed to know the dance), and when you ask questions you won't feel like everyone is looking at you.
