Rustic Ranch in Manteca, CA - Wedding Venue Spotlight

Rustic Ranch in Manteca, CA is a beautiful venue in the San Joaquin River area on the outskirts of Manteca. They have a gorgeous meadow with oak trees that can host 250 people for dinner and they have many beautiful backdrops for your wedding photos. They have an open sided barn with a concrete slab that is perfect for a dance party. The venue offers catering and has one of my favorite BBQ tri tips, and I have tried hundreds of BBQ caterers over the years!

What Direction Do I Face For Line Dances?

What direction do i face?

People just starting off with line dancing have tons of questions. This is the first in a serious of dance floor etiquette posts. So what direction do I face for line dances? Well, the answer to that is not so easy. But, thankfully there are usually only three options and almost all dances face off facing the audience or side of the bar where most of those not dancing are sitting or standing. After the start there are those three options for how many walls the dance restarts facing.

1. Four Wall Dance - This is the most common type and the dance usually restarts 1/4 turn and you end up facing each wall at least once, hence the 4 wall dance name.
2. Two Wall Dance - This is the next common and you start facing the audience and then after finishing the sequence of steps, you end up facing away from the audience. Each start begins 180 degrees from the previous.
3. One Wall Dance - There are very few line dances that only face one wall after each set of steps is finished.

Really, all the matters in line dancing is that you're having fun while respecting those around you. So, if you forget a turn, no worries! Just get facing the same way as everyone else and begin with the next step that you recognize. Happy dancing!

1. What direction do I face for line dances?
2. What if more than one dance is happening at the same time?
3. What direction do we face for couples dances?
4. Drinks on the dance floor.
5. What line dance do we do to a particular song?

I appreciate the support and look forward to coming back soon. The word 'can't' is just not in my DNA, if there was any way I could sing, I would do it," said McGraw.

Dance Floor Etiquette

Line Dancing Etiquette

When you go line dancing, you see all these people on the dance floor and everyone seems to know what dance to do, what direction to face and where to stand on the dance floor. How does that happen? Other than taking dance lessons for specific dances, there is actually a loose set of rules that helps prevent chaos, and to be honest sometimes fights, on the dance floor. In the next few weeks, I will go into some of the dance etiquette that makes country line dancing easy and fun to do wherever you go! We will talk about:

1. What direction do I face for line dances?
2. What if more than one dance is happening at the same time?
3. What direction do we face for couples dances?
4. Drinks on the dance floor.
5. What line dance do we do to a particular song?

These are just a few parts of Country Dance Etiquette and I hope you stay with me to learn about each one.
