This Is The Dance (Single Song)

“This Is the Dance” is a high-energy country duet built for packed dance floors, neon lights, cowboy boots, and Saturday nights.

Written by Mark DenHartigh and Kim Cross, the song captures everything that makes a great country bar come alive—the first beat of the jukebox, cowboys tipping their hats, cowgirls kicking up their heels, old dance moves you learned years ago, and that one song nobody can sit through.

Mark and Kim trade playful verses before coming together on a big, infectious chorus celebrating the music, memories, and moves that bring everybody onto the floor.

With its call-and-response bridge—“Step to the left / Step to the right / Heel, toe, here we go”—“This Is the Dance” is made for line dancing, two-stepping, honky-tonks, parties, and anyone who believes some songs aren’t meant to be listened to sitting down.

Turn it up, grab somebody’s hand, and hit the floor.

Because this is the dance we’ve been waiting for all night long.
