“Hi, my name is Robert Royston. I am a five times world champion of Country Dance working with actors like Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley.I really hope that you learn how to Line Dance and experience what it is like to move to America’s music, that is Country Music.

So, some of the kicking elements that you use in Line Dancing are things like Rodeo Kicks and Figure 4s usually followed up by sort of triple steps.Rodeo Kick tends to go forward and side. So you are going to kick forward and side and it is like “”Ba””, “”Ba””. Flexed foot, relaxed leg “”Ba””, ‘Ba”” then usually followed up by triple steps, “”triple step””, same thing other side, “”kick””, “”kick””, “”triple step””. It helps to get a little bit of bounce in that kick, “”kick””, “”kick””, “”triple step””, “”kick””, “”kick””, “”triple step””. It is kind of

relaxed, free, kicking type action by the time company buys some group holiday.
