So, how many line dances do you know? Like, exactly how many?

Line Dance Spreadsheets Anyone?

Recently on a great night out dancing someone mentioned a very specific number of line dances that they knew. It was in the 300s. It cracked me up and got my attention.

She was very specific and passionate about this number, maybe it was like 338 or something.

Then she went on to say how they were all listed in a spreadsheet! This is the second person who's told me they did this.

I'm thinking I should try to start that practice. I have no idea how many line dance lessons I've taken or how many I really know. I do know it's nowhere near 300!

So, I guess this is a thing! I'll be starting my spreadsheet soon! But speaking of line dance lists, that is something I've tried to do with my blog. My most popular blog post every month is among these.

And this month I have a new one:

Country Dancing Tonight

I love country dancing and all things around it - line dancing two step, county music and a great honky tonk bar or dance hall.

Hi, I’m Brian and I love country dancing! I am a single dad to 4 amazing adult kids and live in Fullerton, California. In 2016 I went through a divorce, and like many going through something like that, I was pretty devastated. In my journey toward recovering and moving on, a recurring theme I heard was that there’s hope! People talked about finding silver linings in things like this. Maybe you’ll do things and discover things you never would have before! Well, in 2017 some friends of mine invited me to go to a country bar where there was dancing. But this wasn’t just any country bar, this was the Ranch in Anaheim California! A very nice premier place for live music and country dancing. I joined them and had a really good time. And over time, even without my friends, I kept going just to sit, have a beer, and hang out. (better than being all alone at home). I wasn’t dancing immediately at all–that terrified me! But what I found was that just sitting and watching people dance was nice, even therapeutic. Something about just watching people dance was very cool. But you can’t be at a place like that too long before you try it out yourself. So began my journey into country dance. At first, it was line dancing, but then after a few lessons, I actually tried the two-step as well. There were some rather terrifying moments to that of course! But now, here 6 years later I have enjoyed many many nights of dancing. In that time I learned the basic Two Step, learned several partner dances, and now know close to 50 line dances and tried out hundreds. It has really become a very fun outlet and activity. A place for meeting new friends and enjoying some great nights of live music and dancing. Looking back, I would never have guessed I'd be so caught up with, of all things, dancing! But here I am, and I'm happy to have found it and all the things and people that surround it. And now to write about the discoveries and hopefully put out some interesting and helpful information about it is a bonus!
