boot scootin

Line dance moves

Boot scootin refers to lively country-western line dancing, especially the energetic shuffling and sliding steps performed in cowboy boots at honky-tonks and dance halls.

The term gained wide recognition from the 1991 Brooks & Dunn hit "Boot Scootin' Boogie." It evokes a rowdy, good-time atmosphere: We went boot scootin at the roadhouse last Saturday.
