“Rock Song” Dance

I’ve gotten a number of requests for the step sheet to the “rock song” that’s been played recently, so I thought I should post this before my inbox crashes! The dance is one we’ve done for a while, called “Zydeco Lady” and it’s being done to Nickelback’s “Burn It To The Ground”. Because of the added interest, I will likely teach this one again soon. However, if you would like to try it on your own first, I highly recommend you start by learning it to one of the following songs first as the Nickelback song is a bit faster and harder to follow when you’re first learning the dance than these.

  • “Zydeco Lady” by Eddy Raven
  • “Dumas Walker” by The Kentucky Headhunters
  • “Little Rock” by Reba McEntire
  • “Almost Jamaica” by The Bellamy Brothers

Please let me know if you have any questions! Please remember too that when you are ready to try it on the dance floor, stay to the outside of the floor to start out until you are certain that you can keep up! We don’t want you or anyone else getting hurt on the dance floor.

Dance Floor Etiquette

Just a reminder for everyone on the floor that we need to watch out for those people around us. Here are some tips on how to keep it fun and safe for everyone:

  • If you’re unfamiliar with a dance, please stay to the outside of the floor for your safety and that of others until you are comfortable with the directional flow of the dance.
  • Please take note of those around you… if the dance floor is crowded, don’t take excessively large steps that may impede other dancers (especially stepping backward where you may not see a person behind you).
  • Note that dances may start differently or have step variations from one venue to another, so make sure whatever location you’re at that you follow along with the mode of dance at that venue.
  • Couples dances will go around the outside of the dance floor.  If couples are dancing around the perimeter, make sure you squeeze in to give them room to pass.

Everyone just wants to have fun while they dance, so please just make sure you’re being courteous to your fellow dancers and they’ll do the same for you! (Additional tips & feedback welcome!)
