Get ready to kick off your Sunday shoes, because we’ve got a new take on the classic film Footloose that you won’t want to miss! While most of us are used to seeing the iconic dance moves performed solo or with a partner, have you ever seen Footloose done as a line dance?
In a recent video that’s been making the rounds online, a group of dancers led by the founder of dance fitness company Dance Sweat Smile, Matt, takes on the challenge of performing Footloose as a line dance. The team, made up entirely of women, executes the choreography with precision and enthusiasm, and watching them is sure to have you itching to get up and join in on the fun.
Line dances are a type of choreographed dance that involve a repeating series of steps performed by a group of people at the same time. Typically, dancers form lines or rows and do not make contact with one another, though some groups will incorporate movement around the dance floor to keep things interesting.
While line dancing is often associated with country western music, it actually originated from a variety of different dance styles and cultures. In fact, it wasn’t until the 1980s and 1990s that line dancing began to be associated primarily with country music.
Matt and his team of dancers prove that line dancing is a great way to stay active and have fun, regardless of the music genre. And if you’re a fan of Footloose, you’ll appreciate the video’s nod to the film’s setting, which took place in a small, conservative town where dancing was prohibited.
So whether you’re a seasoned dancer or just looking to try something new, give line dancing a try and see what all the fuss is about. And who knows, you just might end up stealing the spotlight like a certain grandmother in the original Footloose!
