Friday Night Foot Stomp
This track is a high-octane country rock anthem designed for the modern honky-tonk, capturing the electric release of a small town clocking out for the week. "Friday Night Foot Stomp" chronicles the weekly pilgrimage to a local bar called Momma's Country, where the community comes together to shake off their stress with a powerful, floor-rattling line dance. It's an unapologetic celebration of finding freedom and connection, not in a big city, but on a worn-out wooden dance floor.
[Intro] (Driving electric guitar riff over a four-on-the-floor kick drum) (One, two, three, c'mon!) [Verse 1] Wednesday’s gone, and the week wore me down From the county roads to the edge of town Clock’s been tickin’, boots are worn and tired Dreamin’ of that dance floor, fueled by fire There’s a neon glow in Marshall County tonight At Momma’s Country, everything’s just right Gonna shake the dust from these Tennessee shoes And stomp out the week with some good ol’ news [Pre-Chorus] Yeah, the sun sinks low, the town’s alive tonight Everyone’s ready to kick it right All roads lead to Momma’s Country spot Gonna give it everything we’ve got! [Chorus] It’s the Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country A floorboard-rattlin’, small-town rock We’re stompin’ out the worry, stompin’ out the stress Makin’ a beautiful, thunderous mess Ain’t no city lights, just a country heartbeat The Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country! (Hey! Hey!) [Verse 2] Doors swing wide, the bass hits hard Every smiling face knows the part Farm trucks, old friends, and neighbors too All gather ‘round for a line dance or two The band’s fired up, lights shimmer low Everybody’s ready for the show Feet start tappin’, hands in the air Tonight, Marshall County knows how to care! [Chorus] It’s the Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country A floorboard-rattlin’, small-town rock We’re stompin’ out the worry, stompin’ out the stress Makin’ a beautiful, thunderous mess Ain’t no city lights, just a country heartbeat The Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country! (Hey! Hey!) [Bridge / Dance Break] (Music drops to just kick drum and bass) Alright y’all, let’s go! Heel, toe, and a do-si-do! Spin your girl and stomp it low! Left foot, right foot, make it crack! Everybody now, don’t hold back! (Fiery guitar and fiddle solo kick in) [Chorus] It’s the Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country A floorboard-rattlin’, small-town rock We’re stompin’ out the worry, stompin’ out the stress Makin’ a beautiful, thunderous mess Ain’t no city lights, just a country heartbeat The Friday night foot stomp at Momma’s Country! (Hey! Hey!) [Outro] Yeah! Momma’s Country! (Stomp! Stomp!) Let me hear ya! (Stomp! Stomp!) (Guitar riff repeats and fades out with stomping feet and cheering)

Training & Teaching Guide
Step Breakdown for Beginners
V-Step: A four-count move where you step out-out-in-in, forming the shape of a 'V' on the floor.
Jazz Box: A four-count box step. Cross one foot over the other, step back, step to the side, step forward. A 1/4 turn can be added on the third step.
Cross Shuffle: Also called a shuffle across. A three-step pattern (step-together-step) done while crossing one foot over the other. Written as "Cross, Side, Cross".
Mambo Step: A three-count step. Rock forward on one foot, recover weight to the back foot, then step the original foot back to its starting position.
Coaster Step: A three-count step. Step back on one foot, step the other foot beside it, then step forward on the original foot. Written as "Back, Together, Forward".
Heel Strut: A two-count move. Step forward on the heel of the foot, then drop the toe, taking weight.
Teaching Tips
Teach Section B (the chorus) first. It contains the "foot stomp" and is the most energetic and memorable part of the dance, creating an early win for the students.
Emphasize the powerful, grounded movements. The song is about a "floorboard-rattlin'" good time, so encourage dancers to really dig in on the stomps and struts.
For the Tag (Section C), use the lyrical cues from the song to teach the steps. Call out "Heel, toe!" and "Make it crack!" as you demonstrate, connecting the movement directly to the music.
Practice Flow
Drill the Cross Shuffle and the Jazz Box with the 1/4 turn, as these are the core transitional movements. Run Section B several times until the class is confident. Then teach Section A, focusing on the turn at the end to start a new wall. Practice transitioning from A to B. Introduce the simple 16-count tag last.
Choreographer's Notes
This dance is an unapologetic celebration of letting loose. The choreography is designed to feel powerful and joyful, mirroring the song's story of shaking off the work week. Encourage dancers to add their own style and have fun with it—it's a party on the dance floor.
