Whiskey Glasses

A modern staple. If a DJ plays Wallen, this is usually the one.

Whiskey Glasses By Morgan Wallen - Country Line Dance Tutorial

Taught by Robin Dyanick (Robin's Renegades)

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

Mid-tempo, singable, and the room tends to shout the chorus. Good energy without being frantic.

What catches people out

The chorus is where people go big and lose the count. The steps do not change just because the volume does.

How to get through it

Keep your feet the same size in the chorus as the verse.

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.
