The 35 Top Line Dance Songs for Texas Events

DJ Francisco Mixing the Best Line Dances

Line Dancing is still popular, that’s why we have for you the Top Line Dance Songs. Whether it’s a wedding, sweet 16, Quinceanera, or holiday party, line dancing is essential at every party. Sure, some people detest having songs from the list at their event. But, that’s very rare. If you were to play them at those events, the number of people dancing would most likely double.

The dances inject a bit of energy into any party. They are easy to learn, don’t require a partner, and people want to be a part of the fun. It is a win-win situation to add just a few to any wedding reception.

UPDATE: The Latest Country Line Dance Song

Just Released on YouTube, on  June 3, brand new from Walker Hayes, The song’s name is Fancy Like. People from Applebee’s love this song, especially the part where it says “Yeah, we fancy like Applebee’s on a date night” You have to hear the song for yourself…  https://youtu.be/G_zuB-ogIBw

The Misconception

Line dances have a bad rap. People don’t want them at their parties because they think these songs are ‘Cheesy’. Some people will list EVERY song they can think of as a DO-NOT play song. The misconception is that their event will be cheesy because the DJ will play every song in this list. Most professional DJs will only play the songs to add some life to the dance. In a situation where the dancing has died down, it’s great for a DJ who can reach into his bag of tools and pull out one of these songs to add more energy to the party.

When are they appropriate to play?

My approach depends on the situation. I believe that they can be played back-to-back. Some DJs will disagree.

Why Play 3 of the Top Line Dances Back to Back to Back

My position is that sometimes playing, two or three songs, back to back, gets people to the dance floor and keeps them there for some time. In my observations, from past events, playing them and then switching to a similarly styled song, for example playing the cupid shuffle and then playing Usher’s Yeah Song, will result in more people leaving the dance floor. In contrast, playing The Cupid Shuffle, and then Playing the Wobble or the Cha Cha Slide, or all three back to back to back, will result in a greater number of people staying to dance.

Why Play over 3 of The Top Line Dance Songs in Sequence

There are a couple of occasions where I would encourage playing 4-10 songs back to back. This will not work every time, and this will not work at every event. It’s a feeling the DJ will get. Also, not all DJs will do this for fear of being considered a bad DJ. One of the reasons to play over 3 of the Top Line Dance Songs, is that there will be an event called “La Hora Loca” or The Crazy Hour.

La Hora Loca or The Crazy Hour will revive any party. Most of the Top Line Dance Songs in the List are played back to back. This causes people to be present on the dance floor for over 30 minutes. Sometimes, put to an Hour; a Crazy Hour. One sample playlist will be as follows: The Cupid Shuffle, The Wobble, The Cha Cha Slide, The Copperhead Road, The Conga (line), The YMCA, Macarena, and The Git Up. Disclaimer: This playlist will not work with every event, but it’s just an example of one that can work for several events. Your mileage will vary.
