The line dance “A Bar Song” has really caught on lately and has become a fast favorite on dance floors. If you haven’t learned it yet, it’s not too late–expect this one to be around for a while! This dance also highlights a great success story of a relatively newcomer to line dance choreography: Ben Murphy! When he created the dance for Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song,” it was only his 4th dance! Little did he realize what a hit it would be!
With “A Bar Song,” he took the trophy in two categories: Best Beginner Line dance, and Line Dance of the Year at both the UK Linedance Awards as well as the Crystal Boot Awards! It also won in the Beginner category at the Line Star Stage Awards in 2024! Wow! That is some amazing early success! It is an easy yet very fun dance, and a fun twist is that the dance is being danced in contra style now, just adding to the fun.
