How to Do the Boot Scootin Boogie Line Dance

The Boot Scootin' Boogie Line Dance has been a fixture at country themed bars and restaurants for many years. The dance is done traditionally to the Brooks and Dunn song "Boot Scootin' Boogie," though it can be adapted for other songs as well. The actual steps of the dance vary by region, but once you know one version, you can easily adapt to others. There are 25 steps to the dance that are then repeated until the end of the song.
