Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
This publication would have fared better had it been reformatted as a series of foot maps to accompany a recording. While it purports to be a comprehensive, in-depth reference to the best-known country line dances, the illustrations of the steps are the only feature likely to be used by dance teachers, the book's intended audience. The dances described were popularized in the early 1990s and will likely be outdated soon. The narrative is inconsequential, and Lane's perky, feel-good writing style is irritating, punctuated with too many exclamation points and too much pop psychology ("If you start now, just think how good you'll be at 100!"; "Okay, take a deep breath and then breathe out the negativity"). Finally, the potentially useful list of suggested music does not include record labels or publishers. Though this is not recommended, librarians should be aware that Lane is a one-woman industry, having created five books and 23 instructional dance videos, and public libraries may receive requests.

Review
"
"Christy's updated text includes some of today's most current dances. The directions and illustrations aid both the veteran as well as the rhythmically challenged educator."
Bud Turner, M.Ed.
Seattle Public Schools K-12 physical education coordinator
"Christy Lane is a dedicated professional who is a great inspiration to the beginner as well as the professional dancer. Her ability to simplify and keep in step with the new dances makes this book a must for everyone."
Henno Chriss
Professional dancer, singer, actress
"A good resource for beginning line dance instructors with plenty of resources listed to help you tap into this popular form of recreational dance."
Susan McGreevy-Nichols, B.S.
Former president of the National Dance Association
"Christy Lane's new line dance book is an informative resource for teachers with easy to follow instructions and illustrations. It is recommended for anyone who is a serious teacher of line dances."""
