Step by Step

A line dance is choreographed and consists of a number of steps put together to form a sequence for the dance.           

 Some of the steps are:- 

·    Cross – Step one foot in front of the other with your legs crossed at about knee level.

·    Rock – Step to front or side with one foot putting your weight on to it without completely taking the weight off the other foot.

·    Scuff – Step forward, scuffing the floor with your foot as you move it forward.

·    Stomp – Stamp your foot fairly hard on the floor.

·    Grapevine (Vine) – This is a sideways movement to the right or left. For a grapevine to the right step to the right, left foot behind right and step to right again.

·    Weave – This is a sideways movement to either the right or left similar to the grapevine with a cross in front as well as a cross behind that creates a slight zig zag pattern.

·    Pivot Turn – A left pivot turn is stepping forward on your right foot and swivel on the ball of both feet to the left for either a quarter or half turn.

·    Chasse – Move one foot to the side, place the other foot next to it and then move the first foot to the side again.

·    Triple Step – This can be forward, backward or to the right or left side and consists of three steps to two beats of music.

·    Lock Step – This is a triple step forwards or backwards with the second step locked behind or in front of the first foot and then the first foot is moved in the same direction as the first step.

These are just a few of the basic steps and there are also rumba box, twinkle, bota fogo, coaster step and others that you will learn as you progress.
