It's like they're immune to gravity.

Country-western dances are more versatile than they may seem at first.

You have Two Step, Waltz, Cowboy, and Polka Ten Step—and you also have Western promenade dances that are a bit slower. If you want to spice things up, there’s also East Coast Swing, West Coast Swing, and Nightclub Step as well.

Without a doubt, country music can lead to great shows—just look at these dancing cowboys from Brazil.

In this video, these 10 dancers look well put together: giant belt buckles, cowboy hats, jeans, white shirts, and cowboy boots.

These dancing cowboys outdid themselves at the Cowboys Western Country Show in Montana. We love the enthusiasm they have, and the fact that they’re dancing to the rhythm of “Turn In On, Turn It Up, Turn Me Loose” by Norwegian artist Heidi Hauge adds a little extra flavor to the multiculturalism of the whole event.

Their dancing is contagious, and now we understand why the group goes by the motto “Levantando o Poeirão” which translates to “raising the dust.”

The footwork we’ve just seen has clearly risen some dust at the show. The audience watched the routine without blinking!

These perfectly synced dancers made everyone smile.

As soon as the music starts, these cowboys jump on the dance wagon.

With lots of kicking, jumping, stomping, and spinning, their choreography is fast, catchy, and interesting—and all with perfect timing. The space they have for dancing is quite small because the excited crowd has surrounded the stage! The way these fellows move is marvelous.

Their limbs are completely loose and gravity has nothing on them.

What we love the most is how the audience’s zeal for cowboy dance progresses as the show goes on. At first, everyone’s mildly interested. It’s obvious that guests don’t have high expectations at first for whatever reason.

Even so, they’re in for an enormous surprise!

The cowboys come on stage, line up and the first one in line does a trick with his hat. The group is full of tricks!

Without a doubt, this performance is beautifully choreographed.

The originality, energy and freshness make you want to stand up and bust some moves of your own. Most of us wouldn’t even last a minute in this choreography—especially not in tight jeans. It’s refreshing to see a group of male dancers with so much flexibility. Still, there’s also one woman dancing along with them as well.

She’s dancing among them, and you might miss her at first.

Pay attention around the third minute—she’s dancing in the second row and is the only one who has long, braided hair under her hat. In the end, they all do the splits and the crowd roars with applause!

Since it was posted in 2014, the video has earned eight million YouTube views.

Though this clip is five years old, it’s still catching people’s attention to this day.

Most of the YouTube comments are full of love, support and admiration—and to say that people loved the show would be an understatement!

The dance is spectacular, and we love the fact that country music has proven its fun side.

Recently, many festivals include performances like this in their schedule, and we couldn’t be happier that people are embracing these dance styles.

Every genre has its audience as long as you’re serving up quality performances.

Needless to say, this choreography is definitely one of them!
