That's the one, Yont. Blooming hard to line dance to!

What's the Otis Redding one like? Rita Coolidge did it too.

[tonyav]

Here's Rita.

And here's Otis.

I can't imagine this song being used for line dancing.

I thought that line dancing was a craze of the 90s and had died a death. Is it still going on?

[Tilly2]

Thanks, Yont. Rita is wonderful.

[Tilly2]

It's a very fast line dance, Yont, but really good to do. I loved it.

[Tilly2]

Yes, Jackdaw. It still lives on.

[tonyav]

You'll be Northern soul dancing yet, I'm tellin ya Yilly ;-)

[Butterbun]

Line dancing is great exercise.

[Tilly2]

Like it, especially that lad doing his own version in the corridor.

[tonyav]

Anyhoo, that's tomorrows ear worm sorted :-)

[Tilly2]

:-) Lady, I think. Never mind.

See, it's not all redneck stuff.

[Tilly2]

Yes, it is good exercise, Butterbun. You line dance to, do you? My class is one and a half hours. I'm always shattered by the end!

[Butterbun]

It is exhausting Tilly, starting with a quickstep for two songs which is about 2mins 30, then we move on to a foxtrot for two songs and so on ending with a swing number if we can last the pace. I haven't really mastered all the steps yet. Good fun though.

[Baldric]

I've always been a Fan!
