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 monthly reports on favorite “new” line dances during the year (no more than 6 months old in each of those months). Below are the favorites for 2025. Also, there could be 1 or 2 from 2024 listed because they were not known until 2025 but became very popular in 2025. The list below is the “the most popular dances for all of 2025.” If you don’t see your favorite dance check for it under 2024. There is no set number of dances. For 2025 there are 49.
