These tend to be the more popular LINE DANCE tunes that work well here in the south. They may not work in your market. I hope it helps give you a start though.

As for Urban, it isn't that much different from what you hear on Urban radio these days.
 
Sparkieg,

If possible can you list the dance style of the song? I don't know if a song is a cowboy cha cha, tush push, or electric slide?
 
At a birthday party last month, a bunch of people started line dancing to "Down in Mississippi, Up to No Good" By Sugarland.

One of my favorite recent country songs. That line of "all you're gonna see is asses and elbows" just cracks me up!

Oh! should I have said A**es and elbows???!?!

I've seen people start line dancing to "Honky Tonk Badonkadonk" in the North Country here. Have you seen that at all, Sparkieg?

I'm gonna try and answer both of these questions if I can.

First, I need to clarify what Ruben asked.
The Cha-Cha is a certain style and rythym, The Tush Push is another style and rythym and the "Slide" is another style and rythym, all having their own unique tempos.

Line Dances are all different, no two are the same anywhere across the country as every dance troupe at every club always wants to make a certain dance "their own" by adding or taking away something from each individual routine.

The Cha-Cha's rythym is more a full body movement type rythym that uses the arms, waist/hips and legs. Originally known as the Cha-Cha-Cha. Became popular about 1954. Cha Cha is an offshoot of the Mambo. In the slow Mambo tempo, there was a distinct sound in the music that people began dancing to, calling the step the "Triple" Mambo. Eventually it evolved into a separate dance, known today as the Cha Cha.

The Tush Push is the dance most commonly performed to songs like "Boot Scootin' Boogie by Brooks n Dunn. In historical terms, the Tush-Push is a "4 Wall Line Dance".

The "Slide" is a variation of a dance that became popular in the late 70's better known as "The Bus Stop". It is another basic 4 step type of dance.

The 2 step type of dance is normally done around the perimeter of the dance floor. A couple of the songs I like to use for 2 stepping are Alan Jackson's "Tall Tall Trees" or John Michael Montgomery's "Life's A Dance". The two step has a certain tempo that goes "quick, quick, slow.......slow.....quick, quick, slow.........slow........

You will also find that when you play Cotton Eyed Joe, that the outer perimeter of the dance floor will be used. Normally, you will have 2 or 3 people link arms, and this formation will follow behind the leaders. This song as well as Swamp Thing listed above, are both 132 bpm, so it's a very fast tempo song. What I like to use out of either one of these songs to keep the rednecks happy at the club, is the Ultimix version of AC/DC's "Shook Me All Night Long" or Right Said Fred's "I'm Too Sexy For My Shirt" depending on the crowd. Both of these songs are 132 to 133 bpm and work very well in beatmix mode.

Now, to answer Kayliegh's question:

A little history is in order for the Trace Adkins song. My line dancers were all over this song in the summer of 2005 when I was working at Music City in Greensboro. This just goes to show you how long it took mainstream radio to grab hold of the song and push it up the charts.

Whenever I play HonkyTonk Badonkadonk at the Red Rooster, my shooter girls (Elisha, Paula & Mishon) whom you met in the Red Roo Eye Candy post in the Bar & Club music forum, always jump up on the main bar to perform their Coyote Ugly routine to the song. I am posting a couple of pics here so you can get an idea of how long and large the bar is. (It's over 40 feet long)

The songs that are generating the buzz these days, are the new/latest Trace Adkins tune "Ladies Love Country Boys" and "That's How We Do It In Dixie" by the trio of Hank Jr./Big n Rich & Gretchen Wilson.

I hope this has been somewhat helpful in answering your questions.

When it comes to C/W & Line Dancing....Mike is the man!

(And, he succeeds in LA, a town where C/W is an oxymoron to 90% of the residents and there is virtually no C/W presence on the radio)
 
People here are just now starting to get into Bombshel Stomp, by Bombshel. It is a difficult dance if you ask me, but they say it is beginner. :sqbiggrin: I like the song quite a bit, but it is a little hard hitting for a "country" song. Not sure how well it is going to do.

Darn it! I KNOW there is no B in it but I always put it in anyway :sqrolleyes: I guess it is hard for me to type it without the B and the extra L. It is good though isnt it? I went to their website "Bomshel" to see what their other tracks are like, none of them so far as as catchy as this one though.
