Mommas Country
An upbeat, modern country dance track perfect for a Saturday night out. The song captures the lively, friendly atmosphere of a rural dance hall, complete with a twangy guitar riff, a driving beat, and a nod to the local owner, Jerry Prince. It tells a simple story of a guy looking for a good time and maybe something more. The song is highly danceable and feels like a true anthem for a local country spot.
(Verse 1) (Starts with a driving beat, catchy guitar riff) Got a new pair of boots, all scuffed up and worn Crankin' up the radio, since the day I was born Got a pocket full of singles, a few bucks to my name Sixty miles south of Nashville, lookin' to start a flame (Chorus) (Beat drops slightly, vocals get more melodic, harmonies enter) Oh, Mommas Country Bar And Dance Club, neon sign is buzzin' bright Two-step and a whiskey, gonna dance away the night Sheddin' all my worries on this sticky wood floor Find a pretty smile and maybe ask for more (Verse 2) (Beat returns to the main rhythm) Saw a pretty girl with a sparkle in her eye She was sittin' all alone, under faded summer skies She gave me a little nod and a half-shy smile Figured I'd slide on over and sit there for a while (Chorus) (Beat drops slightly, vocals get more melodic, harmonies enter) Oh, Mommas Country Bar And Dance Club, neon sign is buzzin' bright Two-step and a whiskey, gonna dance away the night Sheddin' all my worries on this sticky wood floor Find a pretty smile and maybe ask for more (Bridge) (Music breaks down to acoustic guitar and vocals) Jerry Prince is the owner, knows us all by name Shoutin' from the bar, "Another round, it's a great night for the game!" We're not down on Broadway, no fancy VIP Just good old folks from the country, and that's alright with me (Guitar Solo) (Upbeat, melodic guitar solo with a touch of steel guitar, maintaining the dance rhythm) (Outro) (Music fades with a repeated chorus line and a final guitar strum) Yeah, down here at Mommas... where we have a ball Gonna ask for her number, if she'll let me call. (Music fades out with a final beat and guitar riff)

Training & Teaching Guide
Step Breakdown for Beginners
Heel Strut: A two-count step. Step forward on the heel of your foot with the toe up, then drop the toe to the floor, taking your weight. It has a confident, strolling look.
Grapevine: A basic four-count pattern moving sideways. Step to the side, step the other foot behind, step to the side again, and finish with a touch or scuff.
Shuffle Step: A three-step pattern that travels, done in two beats of music (often counted 1&2). It's a quick step-together-step sequence.
Jazz Box: A four-step pattern that creates a square on the floor. Cross one foot over the other, step back with the second foot, step to the side with the first foot, and step forward with the second.
Teaching Tips
Encourage a relaxed, smooth style. This dance isn't about sharp, hard hits (except for the stomps); it's about capturing the easygoing vibe of a Saturday night two-step.
The Bridge is intentionally simple to match the acoustic breakdown in the music. Treat it as a moment for the dancers to catch their breath and connect with the song's story.
When teaching the shuffle steps, use the vocal cue "shuffle-step, rock-step" to help dancers remember the sequence and timing of counts 17-24.
Practice Flow
Drill the full 32-count sequence (Sections A & B combined) until it is comfortable. This is the core of the dance. Then, practice the simple 16-count Bridge section. Finally, practice transitioning from the main dance to the Bridge and back into the main dance.
Choreographer's Notes
This dance is all about feeling comfortable and having a good time, just like you would at your favorite local spot. It’s less about perfect technique and more about the simple joy of moving to a great country song.
