Shamea Morton took the lead and taught Tiny, Porsha and Toya the moves to “Boots on the Ground.” The ladies had fun learning the country line dance.
If you’ve been to a cookout, a wedding or a party this year, you’ve seen “Boots on the Ground.” The song is by 803Fresh, a Southern soul singer from South Carolina, and it dropped on December 20, 2024. The full title is “Boots on the Ground: Where Them Fans At?”
The line dance that went viral with it was created right here in metro Atlanta by choreographer Tre Little, who came up with the moves on a lunch break at work. It’s an easy dance for beginners, which is a big reason everybody from kids to grandmas is doing it.
The song went on to hit No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart and became a celebration of Black Southern culture and Black cowboy joy.
Watching Shamea teach Tiny, Porsha and Toya the steps was pure fun. Grab your boots and your fan and learn it with them.
Atlanta’s Love for Line Dances
From the Electric Slide to the Wobble and the Cupid Shuffle, line dances have always been part of Black celebrations. They bring everybody to the floor, no matter their age or dance skills. “Boots on the Ground” is the latest to join that list, and it has taken over cookouts, weddings and family reunions.
Seeing Shamea, Tiny, Porsha and Toya learning the steps together was pure fun. It is the kind of moment that reminds you these stars are friends who love to laugh and dance just like the rest of us.
