Dust off your cowboy boots \u2014 across Northern Virginia, crowds of enthusiastic line dancers are flocking to bars, restaurants, and event halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One local company helping to spark the trend is LineDance4You.<\/a> Its instructors offer free, weekly lessons at venues like The Loudoun Kitchen & Bar in Leesburg, giving patrons a fun, energetic night out. There\u2019s a strong sense of community connection on the dance floor, according to Danielle Schill, owner of LineDance4You.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe really pride ourselves on it not just being about dancing, but more about just making people feel good about each other, building relationships with each other, and meeting new people on the dance floor,\u201d Schill says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Line dancing has been a longstanding tradition at many NoVA-area establishments, but there\u2019s a new wave of interest from \u201can enthusiastic younger crowd,\u201d which Schill attributes in part to TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCountry dancing all around has just been big in this area for many years but … following COVID, it just really exploded because all of these young people were home and learning dances on TikTok and picking it up and were just so excited to do it out at the venues,\u201d Schill says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ready to give it a try? While some line dancing nights are designated for experienced dancers, many are beginner-friendly. At LineDance4You classes, the instructor starts by walking through the steps to each song slowly, then runs it a few times to the music. And the music isn\u2019t only the old-school country music you may associate with line dancing \u2014 Pitbull, Britney Spears, and AC\/DC have all been featured.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are resources online for new dancers to learn the foundational steps of line dancing, but Schill says there\u2019s no need to prep in advance. Just show up, introduce yourself to the instructor, and be ready to learn. \u201cWhether you\u2019re a brand-new dancer who doesn\u2019t know a grapevine from a jazz box or anything else, or someone who\u2019s been dancing for 20 years, we want to make sure that everybody has a place at the table \u2014 or a place on the dance floor,\u201d she says. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
