50 Popular Line Dances that Everyone Loves! (2024 Update)

From the Author: I live in Southern California and have been country dancing for over 7 years. I have spent countless nights out both line dancing and partner dancing and have traveled around to see firsthand almost all the places on my list. Please comment below! I generally respond quickly!

If you are new to the country dance scene or are a regular, you are finding or well aware some line dances are just better than others. Sometimes because of the song or often because of the choreography, there is just something super fun and addictive about the dance.

Good line dances catch fire and go viral. Specific dances become all the rage on country bar dance floors all over. They are just fun and line dancers can’t get enough of them!

Here is my alphabetical list of the 50 most popular line dances that everyone is currently learning and requesting (click on them to pop down to more information and lessons for each one).

50 Popular Line Dances Everyone Loves (2024):

All My Line Dance Lists – Quick Links!

---

1. Aces & Eights

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate

Restarts: 1

Aces & Eights is indeed a very popular line dance. A true crowd favorite at the local country dance saloon. This one always has the dance floor full! It features some fun heal grinds, wizard steps, paddle turns, and finally a modified jazz box.

While it’s super popular, it is an intermediate-level dance. Whenever I have danced Aces & Eights it has always been to the song Whip IT by Lunchmoney Lewis. With this version, there is no restart.

It is interesting though to think about the name of the dance and the original song that Pat Esper created this choreography for. It was created for Dead Man’s Hand by Moonshine Bandits. This is a dark and gritty song with the lyric “Dead Man’s Hand” referring to the hand of cards that Wild Bill Hickock held when he was killed (shot in the back of his head!) while playing poker. And the hand he held? Two aces, two eights.

I think Pat Esper came up with a great name for the line dance with “Aces & Eights.” It is funny to me how it has nothing to do with the song we dance it to every week! Maybe DJs should call it with the Moonshine Bandits’ song some time to let everyone in on the origin! But then you have to add in the restart.

2. Add A Little Flavor

Count: 32

Wall: 2

Level: Novice

Add A Little Flavor hit the scene in 2022, but is enjoying great popularity still in late 2024! It is a Novice level dance, so my advice about it is if you see it being danced, don’t wait for a lesson to come around, just get out on the floor and see if you can pick it up–my guess is you will!

3. After Party

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate west coast swing

After Party has been around for a while, but it continues to be danced and is well-loved. It is danced to a couple of different songs. I’m not a huge fan of Tim McGraw’s “Truck Yeah” so I’ve included a demo and teach below that uses Little Big Town’s Pontoon. And Cindy McMichael is a great teacher anyway. Enjoy!

4. American Kids

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: High Beginner

American Kids is a song that you don’t hear on country radio anymore, but it’s too bad! It has a great beat and the lyrics paint a great picture of typical teenage life growing up in small-town America “faded little map dots, New York to L.A.” The line dance, by the same name, was choreographed in 2014, the same year the song was released.

Randy Pelletier Link:
On Copper Knob

This is for sure one of the “timeless” ones. Meaning, learn it–cause it isn’t ever going away! And so far from what I’ve seen, she’s right! This dance is called every week and is a popular dance to be seen any night on a country bar dance floor.

As a crowd favorite, it’s one of those dances that, at least at the Ranch in Anaheim, has a part everyone sings along to: “Sister’s got a boyfriend daddy doesn’t like!” I don’t know how that got started, but it is always fun when some singing happens too!

The Dance has a simple restart that is easy to pick up in the music.

5. Askin’ Questions

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Low Intermediate

Askin’ Questions was originally choreographed for the song Askin’ Questions by Brady Seals. Brady Seals is sort of an obscure country artist who has bounced between collaborations and a solo career. His solo album Play Time from 2009 is awesome and features Askin’ Questions. Just a really simple fun song about how he’s just asking questions, like

“Hey, pretty girl can I get in your game?
Hey girl what’s your name? etc. etc.

But Askin’ Questions is danced to other songs as well (see the video below). Also recently I’ve seen someone even dancing Askin’ Questions to Shivers off to the side while the rest danced the Gives Me Shivers line dance!

6. Bambalam

Count: 64

Wall: 2

Level: Phrased Easy Intermediate Contra

For those who love the contra line dances, Bambalam is a great fun challenge! I’ve learned this a couple of times, but it is still challenging me! One thing that I think is very cool about the dance is how the phrasing of the dance changes and affects where you are at the end! Check out the great teaching video from the choreographers (Jonno & Rick) and also the extra video included here from the 2023 Stagecoach Dance Contest at The Ranch!

7. Call Me Señorita

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Tag: 1

Restarts: 1

Level: Easy Beginner

Choreographed in the summer of 2019 by Rick Dominguez, and still a huge favorite on any given night on the dance floor, Call Me Señorita is a great dance to learn!

Of all Rick’s dances, this might be my personal favorite. He is famous for line dances such as Girl Crushin’, Loosen Up My Buttons, Crossing the Border, Tic Tock and Everybody Have A Good Time, as well as Bambalam which is above at #6.

With Call me Señorita, Rick has created a very addictive line dance, that caught fire in just a very short while. I think its an example of the perfect combination of an irresistible song with a great feel to the dance as you dance it. The icing on the cake is the Cha Cha rhythm throughout which really compliments the Latin flavor. Feels like line dancing and Salsa in tandem.

Probably another reason why people love it is that it is an easy dance to learn at just 32 counts, 1 tag and 1 restart. But, wait, is it easy? Candy Sherwin’s instructional video below says it’s a “high improver!” So, not sure about that. Well, you’ll just have to learn it and judge for yourself!

8. Cha Cha Caliente

Count: 48

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate

A staple line dance danced regularly at many country bars. It is not a country line dance, but who doesn’t like a line dance to a great Jennifer Lopez song? Dance the night away with the Cha Cha Caliente line dance! It will take a little extra effort to get it as it is a 48-count intermediate line dance. Also, you’ll note that unlike all the other dances on this list the step sheet for this one lives on the Kickit website, for which you need to have a login to view dance step sheets.

9. Champagne Promise

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner

Restarts: 1

Champagne Promise is a dance by a very renowned choreographer: Tina Argyle. She is even a two-time recipient of the coveted Crystal Boot Award! Both awards were for this dance Champagne Promise. She won Beginner Dance Of The Year for Champagne Promise in 2017 when she created it. She also took CCN Country Dance Of The Year with Champagne Promise.

Some have said that what makes a line dance great is when the choreography fits and flows perfectly with the music and tempo of the song. The Champagne Promise is a great example. The awards it garnered confirm what we feel on the dance floor when we dance Champagne Promise – It is a great dance!

10. Church Clap

Count: 48

Wall: 4

Level: Improver

This is a hip-hop gospel song and was not originally on my list for the top 50 popular line dances. But I had a spot still open and got a suggestion from a follower on Pinterest! So thank you Juliana Northcutt for the 411 on the line dance Church Clap! I hadn’t heard of it before, but based on YouTube video views it is well known and very popular.

Unfortunately, I don’t have too much info on it, but I’ve included two great videos. One is a great teach and demo and the next is an additional demo that further shows how fun and exciting this dance is. It is so explosive that it looks like an exercise class is in progress. I think it’s for a younger and more flexible crowd for sure!

Update: Since including Church Clap on my list, I’ve seen it make its way over to Southern California where I dance locally at The Ranch! So, that confirms it even more that this is a go-to fun dance for many!

11. Cold Heart

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Improver

The line dance for the great remix of Elton John’s songs (mainly Rocketman) from PNAU featuring a duet between Elton John and Dua Lipa became a great hit with dances worldwide in 2021. Madison Glover hit it out of the park with her choreography for it (no surprise!). She has also won the Crystal Boot award in 2023 for Improver Dance of the Year with it!

Even today people are still dancing Cold Heart and I’m sure it will be for years! If you don’t know it, do check it out, learn it, and try to bring it to your local dance community!

12. Countdown

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Improver

The line dance Countdown by Abby Cahill is a great club dance to the hip-hop song Turn Around (5, 4, 3, 2, 1). I love how fast-paced this dance is and I love the 2nd to last final 4 counts (5 w/ the “&”). It only happens 3 times during the dance but those steps punctuate the “countdown” in the song: “5, 4, 3, 2, 1” in a really fun way. Then after the final 4 counts (5 with the “&”), the dance begins again promptly.

13. Country Girl Shake

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Improver

Country Girl Shake is another prevalent improver line dance and a personal favorite of mine. It begins with some simple walks back and forth with shuffle steps. Overall an easy dance to learn–I also love the claps people have added. Check out the video below to add this dance to your repertoire.

14. Dizzy

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate

As the song suggests you might get dizzy doing this line dance. There’s a full turn and some half-turns that go great with the song.

For the videos below I’ve included a great demo and teach from Gail Eaton again, but also was lucky enough to find the Choreographer, Jo Thomson Szymanski’s demo and teach as well. But it’s in a compilation video of hers, the video will start at 1:29 so you just see her teach Dizzy.

17. Everyone Needs A Hero

Count: 64

Wall: 2

Level: Easy Intermediate

When this dance came out so many people were excited for it and it gained quick popularity and still is enjoyed on dance floors all over. It originates from 3 giants in the line dance choreography world, so no wonder it’s a good one! In the summer of 2023 I was visiting the great little country bar Rodeo Exchange in Fort Worth, Texas. Check out the 3rd video where I walk into the dancers dancing Everyone Needs A Hero! Also, check out my blog post on my Summer 2023 visit to some great honky tonks and dancehalls in Texas!

18. Fake ID (2011 “Footloose” Movie)

Count: 48

Wall: 4

Tag: 1 (2x)

Restarts: 1

Level: Intermediate/Advanced

The line dance Fake ID came about because of the redo of the movie Footloose. The 2011 version follows along the same script as the 1984 with a few upgrades and improvements. One of the huge improvements was the dance scene where we are introduced to the line dance Fake ID.

Naturally when the movie came out line dances thought: “I want to learn that dance!” And they got their wish as people stepped forward and offered the steps and tutorials. The Dance has caught fire and remains popular to this day. While it isn’t an easy dance to learn, devoted line dancers have mastered it and love dancing it on a weekly basis.

The version everyone does is an adaption by Anne Marie Dunn, so the videos below show the original and the an in depth teach from Kerry Kick (2 videos) to master it.

I was so interested in how this line dance came about I delved way deeper into it! Check out my post: What Line Dance is in the Movie Footloose? And is it Easy to Learn?

19. The Fighter

Count: 18

Wall: 2

Level: Improver

This is another crowd favorite on a typical Friday or Saturday night especially. I think people love the hops! As well as the spin and slide backward.

It doesn’t hurt that the song The Fighter by Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood was a huge hit. Check out Rob Holley’s demo of his dance Cowboy Saloon in Dover, DE. This video makes you want to learn the dance immediately!

20. Give Me Your Tempo

Count: 32

Wall: 2

Level: Improver

Give Me Your tempo is a dance from Nathan Gardiner of Scottland. Nathan got into line dancing and choreography at the age of 13, choreographing his first dance when he was just 15 years of age! Since then he hasn’t stopped and today has over 190 dances to his credit on Copperknob!

This is a great dance, hopefully one that is where you go dancing!

22. Goin’ Hamm

Count: 32

Wall: 2

Restart: 1

Tag with Restart: 1

Level: Improver

Goin’ Hamm (with 2 m’s) is another Friday & Saturday night crowd-pleaser. It’s pretty much always guaranteed to be in the mix of the staple line dances called.

Crank It Up by Colt Ford is a Country Rap song with a great beat that is just really fun and has a lot of energy. Line dancers love to add in the pretend drinking to “put some of that party in my cup!” I’m including a couple of videos: great teaching from Borderline Bar & Grill’s Kristal Lynn and then a great example of a typical bar crowd doing “Goin’ Hamm.” Crank it Up!

23. Heartache on the Dance Floor

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Restarts: 2

Tag: 1

Level: Improver

As a big fan of Jon Pardi, I am super partial to this line dance. Jon Pardi has been said by some to be single-handedly bringing back traditional country music (or that he at least is at the forefront of that). Heartache on the dance floor is another one of his great hits.

I think Stephen Pistoia’s line dance for it is a great compliment to it. Something about the rock steps, 1/2 turn, shuffles, and mambo steps that seem to really flow well into each other and just make it a really fun dance to do. I’ve placed his own demo and teach here but also included California’s Adia Nuno & Jessica Cortez’s demo of it that they put out there this year in their effort to teach line dance online midst of the COVID shutdown. Of course, Adia asks the question: “How many of you have met your significant other on the dancefloor?”

24. High Horse

Count: 32

Wall: 2

Level: Improver

I think this line dance is another one that is popular because of the song. Kasey Musgraves is a country artist, but her song High Horse was her first song to cross into pop radio. It is a mesmerizing pop-disco hit you kinda can’t get enough of. The line dance is pretty simple, though considered an improver. I’m including a great demo and teach video, but also Kasey Musgraves’ music video which is overproduced, but pretty funny & entertaining.

25. Honky Tonk Way

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Tags: 1

Level: Improver

Videos on Copperknob: 169

Honky Tonk Way was released about the same time as Gives Me Shivers–Brandon Zahorsky’s super popular one, but it seems to have taken a little longer to catch on. But now that it has I think this is another dance that will be around for a while as one of the most popular.

26. I’m Begging You

Count: 64

Wall: 4

Tags: 1

Level: Phrased Advanced

In 2021 I attended the Vegas Dance Explosion and learned some great new line dances from some of the best instructors. It was that year that Roy Verdonk brought this dance that he choreographed with José Miguel Belloque (both of the Netherlands). Since then I have seen this dance take off at some bars locally to me in Southern California.

It is a tough dance (64 counts, phrased & a tag) to learn but well worth it! The dance has so many fun moments with a ton of action–running forward, full-turn pivots, and stepping back with sweeps is just the beginning! Phrase B is interesting and the tag gets your arms involved as well. In general, it’s a fast, high-movement dance that gives you that great school of fish feel when a group has it down well! Check out the video below to see a great example of that!

27. Jumanji

Count: 64

Wall: 1

Level: Phrased High Intermediate

Like the previous dance (I’m Begging You), here is another very unique and challenging dance from one of the same choreographers: José Miguel Belloque Vane. And like the previous dance was also, at least to me, introduced at the Vegas Dance Explosion, but a year later in 2022.

I learned the dance there and upon getting back home witnessed this one really take off as well. It is so creative and fun. The Zombie walk is a highlight, as well as the shouts! The song from Hedegaard & Cancun is in a genre (that they have very much pioneered) called car music. It is a mix of EDM & hip hop and as such is unique for a line dance!

The feel of the song is very tribal with the percussion, and bass drops. The chants and electronic beats all create a jungle-like feel, and José Miguel Belloque Vane did a great job of accenting all the feelings with his dance. Check out the tutorial below as well as my video from Vegas Dance Explosion, 2022 when the late-night dance party dance it with José leading the way!

28. Keep It Simple

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner

This is a super fun line dance! I had a great friend of mine just teach me this one on the fly and I got it down after a few tries. The Chassés are the fun part! I’ve included a good demo and teach of it from Candy Sherwin and also a fun video I captured back in 2022 when I got to get a refresher for it from Philip Victor at the Edge Dance Event in Temecula – outdoors on a beautiful day!

29. Late Night Habits

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Tag: 1

Level: Improver

Late Night Habits is a line dance from Julia Wetzel. Julia is one of the great choreographers for line dance and has traveled the world teaching and has quite a following! She is also a Crystal Boot award recipient for her dance Senorita, La La La!

I have been fortunate enough to get to know Julia a little and even got her to list her favorite line dances that she has choreographed for me. I created a whole page on the site about them and more about Julia Wetzel’s line dance journey–check it out here!

One thing I learned about Julia’s dances is that she mainly creates fairly intermediate dances. But this one, Late Night Habits is rated as an improver! Compared to some of Julia’s intermediate line dances, I think that is spot on. At 64 counts, the line dance is not really for a beginner.

Since she choreographed this in 2021 I’ve seen that it still has some popularity now here in 2024!

30. Lonely Drum

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Tags: 1

Level: Beginner/Intermediate

The Lonely Drum line dance is a very popular line dance that is almost guaranteed on any weekend at the local country bar. It’s easy to do, even with the tag that it has.

Recently I added this dance to another post on my blog about what this the most popular line dance? I said it must be Gives Me Shivers! But I wondered if Cold Heart, Honky Tonk Way, or Lonely Drum might be giving it a run for its money! Check out that post here.

31. My Maria

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner/Intermediate

My Maria is another beginner/intermediate, but at 32 counts, it’s not too hard. This is a great line dance to another classic Brooks & Dunn song. The unique thing is that it is a Cha-Cha line dance. The Shuffles between a lot of the steps are 3 steps: Cha-Cha-Cha. The pivot hooks are a lot of fun too. I would say “beginner/intermediate” line dance is another way to say improver line dance.

To this day My Maria remains an extremely popular line dance, and it is also considered a classic! My Maria has also made my list of 24 Classic Line Dances!

32. Nothing But You

Count: 64

Wall: 4

Restarts: 1

Level: Intermediate

This line dance has really caught fire and it is just because it is so fun to do. It is a challenge to learn at 64 counts, but once you get it it is pretty addictive. One thing really cool about it is the fast clapping part!

In the early part of 2020, before Covid-19 shut down the bars and brought line dancing to a screeching halt, the Ranch Saloon in Anaheim had its annual dance competition. The second video below is a little bit of that night. Check out the energy of a big dance floor of great line dancers putting everything into the Nothing But You line dance!

Note: the local popular version for Power Jam in the So. Cal. area is the San Diego Version which is slightly simplified.

35. Raised Like That

Count: 32

Wall: 2

Level: Improver / Intermediate

Darren Bailey is a choreographer, originally from the UK, but now residing in the States. He is one of those very prolific choreographers with now over 300 dances to his credit on Copperknob, many of which are very popular! In fact, I’ve already included one of his dances in this list (#32 above: Nothing But You).

This dance Raised Like That, to James Johnston’s song Raised Like That, I think is one of his more popular. Oddly enough, Darren has choreographed a few dances to music from James Johnston. I thought it funny when his dance for another one came out: Country Touch–the song felt so similar to me! Check it out to see if you agree. I’m okay that only one stayed in the bars!

But then came yet another great dance from Darren Bailey to a James Johnston song: Around The Fire! Check ’em all out. But see the videos below to learn Raised Like That.

36. Reason To Stay

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Improver / Intermediate

Check out this 3rd Darren Bailey line dance to make the list! Reason to Stay is to a great romantic song from Brett Young. I’m surprised he is only getting 3 stars for this one, it’s very fun to dance! I think the underlying Cha Cha beat is part of what makes it fun, and the weave with syncopation stands out too.

37. Redneck Angel

Count: 16

Wall: 4

Level: High Beginner

Redneck Angel is another staple line dance at the clubs on a Friday or Saturday night. It is only 16 counts but is considered a High Beginner. Early on I wasn’t a fan of this dance, but it has grown on me–something about the pivot chase turns – a half-turn pivot to the left followed by a quick half-turn pivot back right is forever fun.

38. Slappin’ Leather

Count: 40

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner Line Dance

Slappin’ Leather is a very famous line dance that is considered a beginner dance. You can dance this to the Footloose song from the movies, but the movies didn’t have Slappin’ Leather as part of their choreography. The Footloose movie features the more advanced line dance Fake ID. Click here to go to my post that talks all about that.

Slappin’ Leather has a part in it (the Slappin’ Leather part!) that seems pretty intermediate and takes some coordination! But the dance is just too fun and famous not to include it here. This dance is commonly called almost every night depending on the club you’re at. There are many variations of it depending on where you are in the country or world! Even though it is considered a beginner line dance, I think it could also be considered an improver line dance by some.

Fun Fact: Slappin’ Leather was used in an episode of the TV Show Pretty Little Liars.

39. Sunroof

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner

A good friend at the country bar where I dance heard the song Sunroof playing repeatedly on a non-country radio station when I first came out. She checked to see if there was a line dance; sure enough, there were a couple already! She encouraged several of us to learn it and try to bring it to the bar, as one does when you find a great new line dance.

Well, enough of us did so and we still dance Sunroof to this day from time to time. I enjoy it and the song is so upbeat. We learned Shane McKeever’s version, which I believe was far and away the most adopted one, rising as high as #3 on the Copperknob top 10.

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate / Advanced Hustle

This line dance I suspect was created originally for NSYNC’s Just Got Paid, but I love the song Greenlight that seems to be the go to song for it, at least in SoCal. Philip of Bootscootin’ has a great tutorial (shown below) that also includes some variations or the end of the dance that are common in SoCal! Also see Candy Sherwin’s great tutorial for it below.

41. Tick Tick Boom

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: High Improver

Tick Tick Boom is a line dance with some fun arm choreography in one of the tags to go with the song to punctuate the fun countdown & “boom” part! It is also a Brandon Zahorsky dance (creator of Gives Me Shivers), so is naturally well done and has gained a fair amount of popularity, still being danced 4 years later! Check out the demo and teach videos below to learn the dance.

42. Turn Me Loose

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate

Turn Me Loose appropriately has some turns in it that can be a little dizzying! I’ve also got this line dance as part of my list of 24 Classic Line Dances. Check that post out to see what other classic line dances. Turn Me Loose has been around since 2008, and is still often danced. One thing I noticed is how few votes this has and how few videos are uploaded. This is perhaps not as popular as I thought! Or it is mainly dance in the So. Cal. area.

43. Tush Push

Count: 40

Tush Push is also on my list of Classic Line Dances. But I feel far more confident that this dance belongs there and also for sure should make my list here of the most popular dances!

46. Walk The Line

Count: 26

Wall: 4

Level: Beginner / Intermediate

This is another line dance that is pretty fast-paced. So a real key to doing these kinds of dances is to take smaller steps. In the video below I’ve included from Cindy, she teaches the step sheet version but then goes over a common variation used when it is danced in the Southern California area clubs.

Note: This is a dance also considered a classic line dance! Check out my whole list of 24 Classic Line Dances – The Timeless Ones We Still Love!

It’s crazy to think that Pat Green’s hit Wave On Wave is from more than 20 years ago! While I really love country dancing, I’ve been a country music fan for far longer and I became a Pat Green fan instantly when Wave On Wave hit the radio. Naturally, I was very very excited the first time I heard “Wave On Wave” called out by a DJ for the next line dance! What I didn’t know was that it was already a long-time classic line dance–See my list of 24 Classic Line Dances for more!

Check out the choreographer, Alan Birchall’s interesting story of how his line dance came about and also a very cool meeting he had with the man himself Pat Green!

Also check out the demo below of Alan Birchall dancing it and apparently receiving an award for it at the end!

49. We Are Tonight

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Level: Intermediate

This line dance is one of my personal favorites! It might be partly cause I’m such a big Billy Currington fan, but, like what makes many of these popular line dances so good, it’s often the perfect combination of good choreography fitting perfectly to a great song.

When you both like the song and the dance steps complement it–it’s a winner! That’s what We Are Tonight is like for me. Learn this one for sure–its a staple line dance.

50. The Wolf

Count: 32

Wall: 4

Restarts: 1

Level: Improver

The Wolf is another staple line dance from So. Cal. local and very well-known choreographer Jonno Liberman. Everyone loves The Wolf and it remains one of the most popular line dances in the bars. I think people also just love the song and how the dance plays so well to it. Another one you need to add to your list! See Candy Sherwin’s great tutorial for The Wolf below to learn it.
