TITLE: BRING OUT THE BOOGIE
LEVEL: 2+
64 Beat (8 phrases), 4 wall stroll
CHOREOGRAPHER: Bubba Carl Williams and Joy Hicks Williams
Music: Bring Out The Boogie In Me
This is a Carolina Shag style 64 Beat 4 Wall line dance. We love this one for it’s challenging collection of steps that are solidly rooted in the world of Carolina Shag. It’s a great one to study if you’re a fan of Carolina Shag, West Coast Swing or simply just want to expand your horizons of swing.
The history on this line dance is short and sweet. Back in 2015 Bubba’s wife Joy would often request a tune Chocolate Boogie Baby (as she used to refer to it) when he (Bubba) was acting as DJ for a their dance parties. They both came to adore this song and it became the inspiration to create a line dance. And months later the line dance was born.
