Had Some Help Line dance - DEMO & 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?

The cheat sheet

What you are walking into

Big, loud, and current. Seven different choreographers built a dance to this within a month of release.

What catches people out

That means several versions are live. Do not assume the video you watched is the one being danced.

How to get through it

Watch a full round before joining. Thirty seconds of patience saves a lot of collisions.

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

Thirty-two count intro. One restart on wall 4, after count 16. At least seven different choreographies exist for this song — make sure you are learning the one your room dances.

1–8

Cross point, cross point, jazz box quarter

Cross your right over the left and point the left out. Cross left over right and point the right out. Then a jazz box turning a quarter right, finishing with a cross.

9–16

Lindy right, three-quarter turn, shuffle

Triple to the right. Rock your left behind and recover, using it to wind up. Turn three-quarters right over two steps. Shuffle forward left. The restart happens here on wall 4.

17–24

Heel grind, coaster, half turns

Grind your right heel through a quarter turn right. Coaster step. Then step forward left and pivot a half right, twice.

25–32

Kicks, sailors, toe back half turn

Kick your left forward, then out to the side. Sailor step left, sailor step right. Touch your left toe back and turn a half left, keeping your weight on the left.

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.
