The Big Red Balloon is most commonly danced to “Big Red Balloon (From The Bill & Ted Face The Music Soundtrack)” by Alec Wigdahl. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.
48 counts across 4 walls. The same sequence repeats, rotating 90° to face a new wall each time until you're back to where you started.
Yes, the Big Red Balloon is rated improver. If you're new to line dancing, get comfortable with basic grapevines and triple steps first, then drill it one 8-count at a time.
No. Like every line dance, the Big Red Balloon is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.
Watch the demo video on this page a few times through, then drill one 8-count at a time at a slow tempo. Once each section feels automatic, chain two together, then run the whole dance to music.
A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. The Big Red Balloon repeats the same 48-count sequence, turning to face a new wall each time through. Once the counts click, you can join in the moment the song comes on.
