Unlikely, many people believe Line Dancing wasn’t born in the U.S. Researches have shown that the history of Line Dancing goes far back as BC. However, there is no evidence of the exact location where it began.

The Line Dancing we teach today started in the 1970’s. This “new” type of dance is an evolution of the old "Contra" dances, which were very popular in the New England States during the 1800's. 

With the popularity of songs like "Achy Breaky Heart", Line Dancing started making the country scene during the 1950’s. Seeing the potential of Line Dancing, record companies decided to invest on it by holding a contest looking for the best line dance to "Boot Scootin' Boogie".

Today Line Dancing is not only danced to country music, but to any type of song.  These songs range from the good beat of rock and roll to ethnic songs from countries such as Ireland, Africa and Australia.
