I was listening to a 90s country playlist when I Try to Think About Elvis by Patty Loveless came on, and it immediately caught my attention. I loved it, and before long I was thinking about how I could turn it into a line dance.
This one was a fun change of pace. The music called for a bit of personality, so I worked in some Elvis-style pointing and those classic Elvis knees. It was a chance to have a little fun with the character of the song rather than just putting steps together.
I enjoy how different songs suggest different movements. Sometimes the music gives you a clear idea of where to start, and other times you have to experiment until something clicks. With this one, the playful feel of the song helped guide the choreography.
Try to Think About Elvis is a 32-count, four-wall beginner dance, published in October 2026. It's a reminder that inspiration can come from all sorts of places, including an unexpected song on a playlist.
Now, who's ready to channel a little Elvis on the dance floor?
