Inside the line dancing revival
On a sodden Tuesday night in Brooklyn, bundled up twenty- and thirtysomethings rustle into a ballroom. The points of cowboy boots poke out under jeans and peasant skirts; Stetsons stud the sea of heads. Inside, beneath shards of light spun from a gigantic disco ball, they dance. Specifically, they line dance. A man in cow-print chaps, a black leather thong and fringed capelet kicks his heels high. The hundreds-strong crowd toe-tap, clap, whoop and slide through the set moves.
Line dancing can be complicated, but Stud Country endeavours to keep it accessible: “The more people on the dance floor, the better,” says Monaghan. Most of the music is country but not all of it . Since it’s choreographed, it’s easy for non-dancers to get involved. “You learn the choreography, you make it your own, you freely express yourself, you leave exhausted but happy. What’s better than that?” says Rona Kaye, who has been teaching line dancing in New York City for 31 years.
