The Straight Up Sideways is most commonly danced to “Hang Tight Honey” by Lainey Wilson. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.
36 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 Straight Up Sideways 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 Straight Up Sideways is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.
Work through the step sheet 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 Straight Up Sideways repeats the same 36-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.
