The duo’s line-dancing battle was epic, and the video has already received more than half a million hits.
In history, line-dancing became very popular in the 90’s when songs like “Boot-Scootin' Boogie” by Brooks & Dunn, “God Bless Texas” by Little Texas, and “Chattahoochee” by Alan Jackson were released.
Line-dancing did not originate from country music fans, but the dance soon became associated with the genre when Billy Ray Cyrus put out “Achy Breaky Heart.”
Even until now, the song remains to be the most popular line-dance song in history.
In fact, several children line-danced to the song while they were in their cowboy and cowgirl costumes.
