Texas Honky Tonk Dancin - Video
$14.95
- Cotton-Eyed Joe "Cotton-Eyed Joe":
Get ready for the real National Dance of Texas. This dance is more fun than
tip-toeing barefoot through the bull barn! A lot of time whole lines of dancers
will team up together. Then again a cowboy just might find himself tangled
up with two ladies at once... on the dance floor that is. There’ve been many
suggestions as to who Cotton-Eyed Joe was, but there’s no doubtin’
about what the Cottoned-Eyed Joe is.
- Texas Trot "Hot to Trot":
While the rest of the country from New York to San Francisco was busy dancin’
the Foxtrot, down here the moonlight hatched up it’s own brand of romance
and softness. This is the Texas Trot. You can hold tight to your lady and
still wear your Stetson, pardner.
- Country Swing "Miracle Whip":
The Country Swing is the Texas version of what was once an African-American
dance and later evolved from the Rockabilly stylings of Elvis Presley and
Buddy Holly. It’s a combination of smooth step rhythms, turns an moves and
the best part about the Country Swing is you can get a lot out of your system
doin’ it.
- Long Star Polka "Orange Blossoms
Special": Originally the European Polka brought into this country by
immigrants had traditional steps, intricate and conservative guidelines. The
cowboy, refusing to drop his hat or his spurs, gave his version which from
Texas has become the Lone Star Polka.
