Brown Gravy Boogie

Music: Good Brown Gravy by Joe Diffie or any song with similar rhythm
Choreographer: Scott Blevins, Highland, IN
Courtesy of Scott Blevins and edited for this site by Ronald Lee Still.
Position: Individual line dance—all dancers face the same direction, heels together, hands on hips
Description: 4-wall line dance, 40 counts. Both the song and dance have a swing feel and the dance begs for lots of attitude. Start the dance with the lyrics, which is on Count 33 from the 3'02" version on CD Third Rock From the Sun, Epic EK 6435.
Comment: We drove over 16 hours to get to the southside of Chicago, where we found Scott teaching this award winning dance. For this copy, the word "slide" was substituted for the choreographer's "drag" in Counts 1, 5, 9, and 29.
