This absolute beginner line dance teaches four basic line dance moves and can have anyone age 5 to 85 doing an actual line dance in a matter of minutes. As dancers advance, you can make modifications such as changing it to a 4-wall dance, adding Cuban hips to the step-togethers, add a clap to the kick, put a sway in the rocking chair, and adding some funk to the step touches. Enjoy!
