Country Music Bars or Clubs
A fantastic place to start is to go to a country music club or line dance club where you will see bootscooters dancing to all the up-to-the-minute music. There is often a country music club and perhaps a country bar in most major cities in the western world and depending on your geographic location there may be a lot of them.

Forums
There are online Forums that you can join (often for free) that bring together linedancers from all around the world to compare information about new songs that are coming out as well as new dance steps. You can also share stories with other members.
Line Dancing Organisations
There are even clubs that meet in local areas to unite like minded people and on occassion they may include a live country band at special events. These clubs are a excellent way to make new friends and to encounter all kinds of new music you may not have heard before, especially if country music is not available on your local radio or supported in your local area.
I have to say that Country music is my favorite, but today’s linedancers dance to songs in almost any genre. You’ll find Hip Hop, Soul and obviously Country and I bet there are also Reggae and Classical line dancing songs as well. Something for everyone. have fun and dance off the inches.
