Dancers Are Special People…
…and EVERYBODY can dance!
How many times have you heard someone say “I can’t dance”? Hmmmm? I bet you’ve heard it a lot.
However heartfelt folks may be who say “I can’t dance,” they are incorrect. They are mistaken. They “jus’ ain’t right” or, as we say in Texas:
“They are pure-dee wrong!”EVERYONE can dance!
Dancing only requires two things: (1) the ability to move (2) and the ability to “hear” a beat.

Weekly Line Dance Top Ten Lists Updated
There Are a Lot of Line Dance Lists!
There are lots of places on the Web that track the “Top Ten” line dances on a weekly or monthly basis.
And every single one of the darn tootin’ thangs seem to have a different way of calculating just which dances are the top ten.
*sigh*
It’s enough to make one’s inner domestic diva want to take off her tiara and eat bon bons!
Never fear, dearest readers, all twelve of you who actually read this blog… I, the awesome, the fantastic, the studly, being the kind, generous, friendly, charming person that I am have set out to make sense out of that muddle of mish-mashy information and simply for you. Can I have an amen?!
Ok, so, what I’ve done, is create two articles on Squidoo:
TxCowboyDancer’s Weekly Summary of Top Ten Line Dance Lists
What you’ll find on this page is a summary of all the Top Ten Lists that of which I keep track. You’ll find a simple straight forward listing of the “Top Ten” dances from each list along with a link to the full list for that website. Here is the blurb from the beginning of the the Review:
Welcome to TxCowboyDancer’s Weekly Report of the Top Line Dances from ranking sites around the world.
Keeping track of all those line dances is a lot like Herding Cats which is why I created this summary page to make life a bit easier! (And why there is a photo of a cute Cowboy KItty. 🙂

TxCowboyDancer’s Weekly Review of
The Hottest, Most Popular Line Dances in the World
For those folks who don’t even want to deal with the Lists in the Summary, I’ve created a page where I only show those dances appearing on multiple websites. Here is the blurb from the beginning of the article.
I monitor several line dance survey lists from different websites:
1. World Line Dance Newsletter
2. LineDancer Magazine
3. CopperKnob Line Dance Archive
4. Kickit Line Dance ArchiveThe following dances are ones which appear in the “Top Ten” lists on at least two of the four websites listed above, making them the most popular line dances on the planet!
HOTTEST — On all Four List
HOTTER — On Three of the Four Lists
HOT — On Two of the Four Lists
[Check out the dances listed in the article...]
So, there you have it, I hope you enjoy my two summary lists.
See ya on the Dance Floor!

Using Line Dancing as Exercise
Dancing may be fun but it isn’t always exercise…
I have had this article idea for a while now which I planned to do here on my blog. The idea was to talk about how dancing, while fun, isn’t always exercise.
When you “exercise” you basically have to get your heart and lungs and muscles exerting enough effort so that the body is “stressed.” We’re talking “good stress” here. Because when the body is stressed, in a good way, the body responds by becoming stronger.
And that is how you get healthier! Tah-Da!
Unfortunately, when you are in the studio practicing different dance techniques, your body is not always being stressed. You end up doing the same movement over and over again which can increase flexibility, agility, and muscle control, but it is NOT stressing the cardiovascular system.
>>> SIGH <<<
So, this idea for an article has been dancing around in my head for a while (pardon the pun). I was going to go on for a bit with my usual drama. *GASP* Do I hear my dearest readers crying out “Tony? Engage in Dra–MA?! Him?”
Oh shush! You guys be quite! 🙂
Anyway, before the inner audience in my head so rudely interrupted me …
Hmmm… why do I feel like I’m in a Read the rest of this entry

Mea Culpa. Let’s try this Kickit Post Again…
New Post on Squidoo.com
A special apology to all my readers for spamming your in-boxes. I’m on some serious pain relievers as I recover from my surgery (post on that coming in just a bit).
I deleted the post that I sent out earlier this morning and recreated it from scratch because it was full of errors. That’s what I get for not proof reading.
So, my apologies and here is the corrected post.
I’ve updated one of my articles:
Top 10 “Best Known” Line Dances
from the
Kickit Line Dance Archive
Updated monthly, this is the July 2012 post.
How many of these dances do you know?
Enjoy!
See ya on the dance floor!
