Variations: No Variations.

Suggested Dance Style: HOT Country is a line dance that is meant to be
performed at faster tempos and is quite challenging when performing at
slower tempos (nick name " 'Cool' Country" at slower tempos) the 'snappy'
style intended for the dance tends to get lost. But it will allow for
variations. So at fast trempos -- keep steps small, weight even, and hold on
to your hats.

Suggested Songs/Types Of Songs:
HOT Country was choreographed to be performed to the song
"Gotta Have You" by Eddie Rabbit.
Any similar hard driving song will do well.

Comments: HOT Country was choreographed for the Heart Of Texas (H.O.T.)
Country dancers dance team in Arlington, Texas (who are crazy about line
dances) as a challenge - and they took it! ! If you like a challenge,
HOT Country will give you one!! dance will be quite a bit simpler to learn
and to perform.
