The history of the modern line dance starts during the 1950s when the popular “Madison” dance became widespread, continuing with the arrival of the “San Francisco Stomp” in 1961. Country-western influence arrived during the 1970s with five distinct line dances being used, most famously “Cowboy Boogie” and “Walkin’ Wazi”. The popularity of line dances exploded overnight with the arrival of Hollywood musical “Saturday Night Fever” in 1977 which gave line dance disco dancing style. Popular dances of the 2nd half of 1970s decade were “Tush Push”, “Electric Slide” (danced only to the song “Electric Boogie” from Marcia Griffiths), “L.A. Hustle”, “Buss Stop” and “Nutbush” (highly popular US and Australian line dance, danced only to the Tina Turner’s song “Nutbush City Limits”). The 1980s saw the rise of line dance routines, many  created by tweaking previous disco routines.
From the early 1990s new line dances were created for numerous country-western songs, and the biggest wave of them came after the release of 1992 hit song “Achy Breaky Heart” by Billy Ray Cyrus which popularized country-western song genre all around the world. Other popular dances from that decade were “Swamp Thang”, “5,6,7,8”, “Khaki Country”, “Crazy Little Thing Called Love”, and most famously “Macarena”.
