Where it’s played
PHAT is part of the regular set at Westwood in San Francisco. See the rest of what they play and start learning the floor.
See Westwood’s set listWhat is a line dance?
A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows — everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. PHAT repeats the same 48-count sequence, turning to face a new wall 4 times through. Once the counts click, you can join in the moment the song comes on.
