We knew something strange would probably happen when Lux went to France...

...we just didn't know it would be this strange.

The French administration has moved to create an official country dancing diploma as part of a drive to regulate the fad. Authorised instructors who have been on publicly funded training courses will be put in charge of line dancing lessons and balls.

The rules, which come into force next year, come after the rapid spread of country and western in France, where an estimated 100,000 people line dance several times a week. Jean Chauveau, the chairman of the country section of the French Dance Federation, said: “It's growing at a crazy rate. There are thousands of clubs and more are springing up all the time.”

Yes. It is a vision of poetry in motion isn't it?

I don't get it. I remember 'line dancing' in Brittany back in the early 70's. The music was classic Breton (ie Celtic), and the steps syncronized. It's not strictly an "American" thing.

I was staying with some friend at their parents lakehouse. We had gone out "cruising" in his dad's boat. first we went to the cheap bar than the fancy shmancy one. At the cheap one, we sitting back in the boat having a cold one staring at this "barn" with 3 open sides. All of a sudden the electric slide starts up and ALL these people seemingly from out of nowhere rush onto the dance floor and start doing the electric slide. I'd never seen anything like it in my life.
