boot scoot

Line dance move

Boot scoot is a lively style of line dancing done to country music, characterized by shuffling steps, kicks, and turns performed in synchronized rows.

The term evokes cowboy boots sliding across a dance floor.

It appears in the name of popular country dances and the song "Boot Scootin' Boogie": We went boot scootin' at the honky-tonk last night.
