Some dances come together after lots of planning. Others happen when you stop overthinking and let the music take over.
Stomping Ground by Hayley Jensen came about on a sunny afternoon with Bex, after we'd recorded our podcast with Sonny from Sonny Boy Line Dancers. Sonny's advice was to throw out the rule book, and we took that idea to heart!
With good vibes, cold drinks and plenty of laughs, the dance flowed together in record time. Sometimes it's good to stop worrying about whether you're doing everything the right way and simply enjoy being creative.
I also had my Tuesday morning class in mind when I first heard the song. I could picture them dancing to it, and that made it even more fun to put together.
The dance has a bit of stomp, some movement to get you travelling around the floor, and an air-guitar moment that gives it a little extra character.
Stomping Ground was published in September 2025, and it remains a lovely reminder that choreography doesn't always need to be complicated. Sometimes you just need a good song, a bit of inspiration and people who make you laugh.
