Many line dancers are just taught mere steps but not the correct foot positions which enable dancers to balance better and avoid injuries. Line dancing steps, like any other types of dance steps, use or derive from the 5 basic foot positions.

For example, when you do a grapevine, you are actually doing Pos#2 on count 1, Pos#5 on count 2, Pos#2 again on count 3 and Pos#1 on count 4. Check if your feet are in the correct positions and if your toes are pointing at the correct directions by referring to the diagram above.

Have fun dancing!
