Line Dancing - How To Videos
68
Line Dancing has been around for a very long time. There is a line dance in just about every culture and place in the world. Line Dancing is fun and is done at clubs, weddings and there is even competitions for them. They come in a variety of way from Rock and Roll to Country to even Ballroom Dancing. There are ones made for children and there are ones that are for the purpose of exercising. Learning how to do these is fun and exciting and they are even good for the heart and body. They can be used as an exercise outlet and just getting out and joining friends.
Little did I know that there were so many line dancing styles and techniques until I started looking through the many videos. I tried my best to choose ones that were easy to understand and follow. There are just way too many to list here. I chose some that I didn't know and some that I did and some that are fun and some that are well instructed. I also tried to get the most variety for you to learn.
Do take a look at some of these, or all of them if you wish and get into the groove and in line and have fun! I know that my husband and I will.

Pete, I remember watching Bandstand and Soul Train, but not the Stroll. I can do the Electric Slide, but not any other ones. Now you can learn to do others right in your own home.
My Lady, you pulled out some golden oldies here.
I am looking for a site that have the dance steps on paper some how. Know of any?
Keep on Hubbing!
These are great...oooh the memories they bring..used to watch Bandstand.
eovery, Thanks for comming by and leaving a comment. I try to please everyone. The video's that I had to go through and listen to all of them to get the right ones were fun and I had a good time getting these all here.
GiftedGrandma, Thanks for allowing me to bring those fun memories back. Stop by any of my other hubs if you get a chance.
Ooh! I enjoyed this. I should probably not admit it but I do remember quite a few of the older ones! We use to twist our hearts out. I cannot really remember the song we always did it to but the words started with "lets twist again like we did last summer" I have really enjoyed this, thanks!
Hendrika, Thanks for the comments. I do hope that you try the other dances lessons out. Some of them look easy and fun to do. I bet everyone here can take some steps from each one and make it a personal dance.
I think you are referring the Let's Twist Again. I can only put so many vidieos in one single hub.
Come back again and learn a new step! That's the fun of it. You can do it in your own home and at your own pace.
Date Night's will never be the same!
That is fantastic - now I need to get Bob to sit down in front of the computer and watch them and then try and do them! Or if all else fails, we need to go take another class! Great post - love it.
akirchner, Yes or keep coming back to these videos until you get the steps right. It is fun! A little bribing couldn't hurt him. LOL
This hub should draw at least an 80 score daily. It's a very good, informative hub that's fun! Thanks for producing it. And thank you for your support.
LEWJ, It should, but it isn't. Strange eh?

I like doing the Slide but that's the only one I really learned. I am old enough to remember seeing kids doing the Stroll on Bandstand.
