Ain't Going Down

The Ain't Going Down is most commonly danced to “Ain't Goin' Down (Till The Sun Comes Up)” by Garth Brooks. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.

48 counts across 2 walls. The same sequence repeats, rotating 180° to face the opposite wall each time until you're back to where you started.
