CHES (Cowboy Boogie, Honky Tonk Stomp, Electric Slide & Smooth)

 

Choreographed by: "Hillbilly" Rick Meyers
Line Dance. It's a 1-wall line dance - cause you will always start over facing the same wall!
Its the first attempt I have seen to do 4 line dances at the same time. Makes 
a good progressive class project. Teach the Cowboy Boogie first, then Honky 
Tonk Stomp, Electric Slide and Smooth, then follow up with the "CHES". 
Beginners and advanced dancers love this because it gets rid of some of the 
boredom and beginners can't believe they can do a dance with 106 steps in it. 
I realize there are some variations to some of these dances, just add them in 
as done in your area.
