If you’re ready to kick off your Sunday shoes and cut loose, then it’s time to learn the Footloose line dance! This classic dance is the ultimate encore at any country hoedown, and with a few simple steps, you’ll be boot scootin’ in no time.
Elise from Dirt Road Dancing breaks it down for us in this easy-to-follow tutorial. She starts by grapevining to the right, then to the left, making sure to stomp those boots together. Next up is the K step, where you’ll trace your boots in a letter K pattern. Don’t go making any Zs now, y’hear?
Time for the click clicks! There’s no place like the dance floor, so click those heels together like Dorothy in her ruby slippers. Out click, out click, and then get ready to holler at your feet.
Heel, heel, toe, toe, heel, hop heel, hop heel, heel. It’s a regular foot-stompin’ good time! Finish it off by taking it back, to the side, cross it, hit it, turn it, and BAM! You’re right back into that grapevine, ready to start all over again.
Now, don’t you fret if the song is a little faster than the practice round. Just keep those boots moving to the beat and let loose!
So what are you waiting for? Grab your cowboy hat and let’s dance!
The Footloose line dance is a classic for a reason – it’s simple enough for beginners but still a rootin’ tootin’ good time for even the most seasoned dancers. So go on, give it a whirl and feel the joy of dancing like nobody’s watching. Yeehaw!
