What's Hot in ...
... The UK
Linedancer Magazine, published in England, maintains a "Top 20 Dances" on their website. Voting is open to subscribers to the magazine or those registered on the website. Results are updated daily and can be found at Linedancer Top 20. Another  national Top 10 list for the UK is maintained by "Big Dave" and can be found at http://www.bigdavegastap.com-
/top10dances-Newline.html
.
... North America
For those interested in what dances are currently doing the rounds in the USA & Canada, please check these links. Kickit subscribers can register dances they have taught or learnt. Final results are monthly totals and include the countries where the dances have been taught (over 90% are in the USA or Canada). Anyone can view the results. Carol Craven maintains a weekly "what's popular" survey, www.worldlinedancenewsletter.com. As with the Kickit survey, over 90% of the votes are from North America. The World Line Dance Instructors Survey is compiled by Dodee Davis. This survey was previously run by Kathy Sharpe-Arrant and the results can be found on the WDI website. Dodee's survey is again predominantly from American submissions.
... Australia
Sue & Leon Butcher of Runaround Sioux maintain a list of recent teaches & popular dances for dance clubs around Australia. Click on "Dances Taught at Other Clubs". These results, however, are not compiled but nonetheless with over 100 groups listed, provide an excellent cross-section of what's being taught around the country. A number of other groups maintain "top 10" or recent teaches for their own group. What's hot and popular recent teaches in Western Sydney can be found elsewhere on my website.
