“Askin’ Questions” is one of our favorite dances lately so we added that to our list of tutorials to film. (For anybody who is a Saddle Ridge regular, they taught this dance this past Saturday.) The dance is 32 count, 4 walls and choreographed by Larry Bass. You can find the step sheet here.
If your dancing establishment doesn’t play “Askin’ Questions” by Brady Seals, you can also use this dance to “Wildflower” by the Jane Dear Girls.

On the Facebook fan page for 38 Step Line Dancing Blog, they asked their readers to list their favorite dances of 2010. Honestly, I never heard the song “Askin’ Questions” by Brady Seals (that I can recall) until the dance was listed by a commenter. It was added to my running list of dances to learn at some point, and it became my thing to learn this week during my procrastination time. (You know, that time of day when you are supposed to be doing something like cleaning your house for a family gathering for the NFC & AFC Championship games…. kind of a big deal… but I digress.)
Holy hell is this song addicting. If you haven’t heard it yet (which I honestly can’t recall if I have before the past few months):
The dance, I think, is equally addicting. The one that I found I like most is choreographed by Larry Bass. The step sheet can be found here. Me being me can only half follow a step sheet. I probably would have failed miserably before things like YouTube. Although, I suppose once you get used to HOW to read it, it’s not that bad. I generally read it to get the idea of what I’m doing and then follow a video like the one below.
The video is not in English but this guy shows it well. He shows you four walls slowly first. Just keep doing one wall until you get the hang of it. (Beauty of pause and ‘rewinding’ the video.) Add the next as you get more comfortable. And then he does it with music. Once I’m feeling good with the dance, play the song without the video to practice. I’m persistent and will restart the song every time I mess up. Once I can get through the entire length, I feel that I’ve mostly mastered the dance.
Well… at least in my living room.
Update: We use this to “Wildflower” by the Jane Dear Girls… and whatever else we get it to fit to.
