Itโ€™s essentially a fact: line dancing and good times go hand-in-hand.

Iโ€™m not sure Iโ€™ve ever seen someone line dance and not have fun, honestly.

These 12 cowgirls certainly know how to have a good time.

But what exactly is line dancing? Have you ever been?

Well, historians and scholars still debate the formโ€™s origins but evidence suggests line dancing grew out of styles from continental Europe, eventually evolving over time in American culture. Evidently, disco may have been the first genre to truly popularize the line dance. Now, itโ€™s more associated with country music.

Line dancing has become a popular art form recognized and performed across the globe. The styleโ€™s inclusive of everyone and certainly doesnโ€™t require technical mastery to have fun!

Itโ€™s a relatively simple dance involving lines or rows of groups performing the same choreography generally to a catchy pop-country song.

Guitars, cow boots, and cow hats are certainly welcome.

Each member sports a plaid, button-up white tee and tight blue jeans. The black cowgirl hats add the perfect country cherry on top, bringing the entire ensemble together.

โ€œChattahoocheeโ€ is a modern pop-country classic. In fact, the Internet is riddled with line dance videos to Jacksonโ€™s hit, and for good reason โ€“ itโ€™s an incredibly danceable tune!

Upon releasing his opus, Jackson won country music awards for both single and song of the year.

Jacksonโ€™s country hit continues with the dancing dozen aligned, in-step.

โ€œYeah way down yonder on the Chattahoochee

Never knew how much that muddy water meant to me

But I learned how to swim and I learned who I was

A lot about livinโ€™ and a little โ€™bout love.โ€

Perhaps the best aspect of their dance comes from the sheer joy theyโ€™re having. After the first chorus, the dancers proceed to clap hands to the beat, each sporting a wide grin.

The choreography isnโ€™t particularly technically masterful โ€“ this isnโ€™t a Michael Jackson performance โ€“ but these dancing cowgirls are clearly having a great time while still showing off some slick moves!

These dancers are certainly fleet-footed! Alan Jackson would be proud. Theyโ€™re having tons of fun with their friends and looking great doing it!

Iโ€™m actually kind of jealous. I havenโ€™t been dancing in a while. Once the pandemic stabilizes maybe Iโ€™ll lace up my dancing shoes! We could all certainly use a vacation in the countryside.

That barely sunlit sky looks sublime.
