Ride

The Ride is most commonly danced to “Ride or Die (feat. Foster the People)” by The Knocks. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.

32 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 Ride 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 Ride is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.

A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. The Ride repeats the same 32-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.
