How to Do the Cowboy Dance

The simple yet upbeat rhythms of country music allow you to find a variety of dances that work with it. One of these dances has been standardized -- the Cowboy Dance -- and you'll find cowboys and cowgirls using it in dance halls and country music concerts across the country. Because it only uses a few different moves which are then repeated, the dance lends itself well to line formations.
