The Cherry Bottom Boom is most commonly danced to “U Gurl” by Walker Hayes. It's also danced to “Piece of Me” by Britney Spears, “Everybody (Backstreet's Back)” by Backstreet Boys, “So Far So Fake” by Pierce the Veil, “Man I Need” by Olivia Dean.
40 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 Cherry Bottom Boom is rated intermediate. 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 Cherry Bottom Boom is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.
Slow the tutorial to 70–75% speed and drill one 8-count at a time. Once each section feels automatic, chain two together, then run the whole dance to music. The player on this page lets you loop any 8-count and adjust speed without leaving the page.
A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. The Cherry Bottom Boom repeats the same 40-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.
