Line Dance: Four on the Floor

I saw a slick new line dance last night at the Cantina. It's called "Four on the Floor" and some girls were dancing it to the song Keep Your Hands to Yourself, which is usually a little dull (slow) to dance to.

I found a YouTube video demonstrating it:



Note that the couple in this video is very good (they might be the choreographers, Michelle Ziminski and Matt Thomson). They've got that spring to their steps that makes them look like they're floating over the floor. The song is Four on the Floor by Lee Brice

  2. Mishi,

    It's been a while since I've seen a line dance that I jumped to learn as soon as I saw it, and your dance has got a nice flow to it. I wasn't quite able to pick it up as there are a couple of trickier parts toward the end, but I can see it'd be fun once I got it down. The two of you did a really nice job.

    I wasn't expecting to see any comments on this blog as I mostly haven't told anyone it exists. Guess I'm still learning about that Internet thang.
