Gives Me Shivers

Not country, but it plays at country nights constantly.

Gives Me Shivers Line Dance Tutorial

We did not make this video — we found the clearest one and linked it. There is no single official version of most line dances, so we are filming the version taught on West Michigan floors with local instructors. Teach it here?

Why this one is in the library

Named a current favorite in two independent 2025 sources.

The cheat sheet

What you are walking into

Not country at all, and it plays at country nights constantly. Nobody minds.

What catches people out

Improver level with a couple of restarts, which is where people fall out.

How to get through it

Learn where the restart happens. The floor does it together, so watch and follow.

Moves it leans on

Grapevine Rock Step Shuffle Jazz Box Weave Tags and Restarts

These are ours, written for someone who has not danced it yet — not a step sheet. For exact counts, see the choreographer's sheet linked above, or come to a night and let someone teach you.

How it goes

32 counts · 4 walls · Improver

The most-voted sheet on this whole list. No tags, no restarts.

1–8

Hop, hold, bump, roll

Hop forward on your right, step the left beside it, hold. Bump your left hip, then your right. Then roll your hips slowly from left to right over four counts.

9–16

Cross rock, triple, quarter

Cross your right over the left, recover. Triple to the right. Cross your left over the right, recover — shimmy the shoulders here. Triple left through a quarter turn.

17–24

Cross point, cross point, jazz box

Cross right over left, point your left out. Cross left over right, point your right out. Then a jazz box with a quarter turn.

25–32

Step touch, rolling vine

Step right, cross-touch your left toe over. Step left, cross-touch the right over. Then a rolling vine right through a full turn — or a plain vine if you would rather not spin.

Written in our own words from the most-voted step sheet, so you can read it before you go. It is not the choreographer’s own notation — for that, see their sheet. Most of these dances have several versions; your room may do a different one.

Go dance this week

We do not claim to know which night plays which song. What we do know is where country dancing happens — here are three of the region's nights, and the calendar has the rest.
