Each year I compile the list of favorite dances in the San Francisco Bay Area from the beginning of the year ’til the end. The list comes from my own opinion and from my monthly reports on favorite line dances. Those monthly reports showed mostly only dances choreographed within the previous 6 months. However, for 2022, the end-of-year most popular dance list includes some dances from 2021. During Covid several older dances from 2021 were taught for the first time or re-taught, became popular, and thus show on this list. The 52 most favored dances were:
