Shaggin' The Line

Choreographed by Don Deyne
Description: 32 count, 2 wall line dance
Music: "Dancin', Shaggin' On The Boulevard" by Alabama
/To match the dance with the music perform the 32-count dance,
followed by 4 count tag, then the 32-count dance again. Repeat
this pattern 4 times. Then do just the 32-count dance till the
music fades
/In other words: ABA-ABA-ABA-ABA-AAA
/If done to any other song (including the practice songs) just
do the 32-count dance.
/Style note: once the dance is learned keep all the steps rather
small and tight, but with plenty of flair and arc when moving
the feet around each other.
