"It's amazing how rappers get alot of their ideas for there songs from the hood they grew up in & from the people that grew up in the Hood. I love the fact that Khia shot a video to this song 20 years later & put The Real Kwang in the video to let people know where the Kwang came from.. That's what I called showing love & I got nothing but respect for Khia ๐Ÿ’ฏ.. I love it when people give credit or show homage to the creators & O.G's"

So many southern songs will never even make its way up here sometimes, and I’ll be just hearing it 15-20 years later like why is that my first time? I swear back in the day the radio stations and dj’s used to do a better job at circulating southern and west coast music up here, and now they don’t. I’ll never understand this. Thank God for the internet because half the older southern songs I’ve found over the years would’ve be nonexistent to me! Smh"

INFORMATION ABOUT "THE K-WANG"
From https://genius.com/Khia-the-k-wang-lyrics
" “The K-Wang” is a song by American rapper Khia, released in August 2002 as the second single from her debut studio album, ‘“Thug Misses”. The song was a moderate radio hit on urban stations and the accompanying dance was popular in Tampa-area clubs in the fall of 2002. In the years since its release, the song has also become associated with a line dance.

Both the title of the song and associated dance originated from a local Tampa clubgoer, Twan, who frequented the bars where Khia worked in her early days as a rapper. In March 2022, Khia told Billboard, “I was managing a bar in Tampa. It was Studio 7 and Club XS. When we had acts that would come through, I would open up.” The song’s lyrics encourage listeners to do the K-Wang dance and reference the aforementioned bars as well as Tampa neighborhood Robles Park.

Initially released as a b-side to “My Neck, My Back (Lick It)”, “The K-Wang” was serviced to urban radio in August 2002. In addition to the original version of the song, a So So Def Remix by Jermaine Dupri and Bryan Michael Cox was promoted to radio as well."

ESTABLISHING EARLY DATES FOR "SINGLE FILE" AFRICAN AMERICAN LINE DANCING 
As of this publishing date (August 7, 2026), the earliest date that I have found for the style of African American line dancing that I refer to as "single file line dancing" is June 19, 2021.(El Paso, Texas).

Please share any early dates that you know for this type of African American line dancing along with demographic information and/or online links.

I'll amend this post with earlier dates. Thanks!

****
GENERAL REFERENTS FOR THIS TYPE OF LINE DANCING 
"Single file line dances" is my general referent for a small subset of (African American) line dances. The referent refers to the formation of those line dances in what I believe is a clearer, less confusing way than the term "circle (line) dances that is currently being used. 

The term "trail ride version" is also used in a number of titles of YouTube videos as a referent for these types of  African American line dances. However, I believe that term is also confusing because line dances at African American trail ride gatherings have in the past and are still performed in the traditional (horizontal line) formation as well as in the much newer single line formation. Besides, both of these types of African American line dances have been and still are performed apart from trail ride gatherings/events

The way that these referents are given on YouTube is either
1. [the title of the song] followed by the words "circle (line dance)"

or

2. [the title of the song] followed by the words in parenthesis (trail ride versions). 

I'm using the term "single file line dances" because I believe that both of the referents given above are problematic. I discuss the problems that I have with those referents in another pancocojams post.*  

The "single file line dance" style of African American line dancing appears to be very new.
2024 is the earliest year that I have found for this type of African American line dancing.

The line dances that I refer to as "single file line dances" is this pancocojams post have a vertical line formation instead of the horizontal line formation that is traditionally used for most African American (and non-African American) line dances.

Also, these single file line dances have the same winding, circular movement patterns as the Cuba originating Conga lines and as the historically Black Greek letter fraternity and sorority strolls. However, the dance routines that are performed for Conga lines and historically Black Greek letter fraternities and sororities aren't the same as the dance routines that are performed for trail ride versions of line dances.

INFORMATION ABOUT THESE SHOWCASES VIDEOS
As of August 7, 2026 I have only come across six different song titles on YouTube** for African American single file lines dances. (The titles of African American line dances are almost always the same as the titles for the record that is played for that particular line dance.)

Here's some information bout these records and their line dances (as I've found them on YouTube), given in chronological order based on the publishing date for the video that I'm showcasing in this pancocojams post:

1.This is the earliest example of single file ("circle") African American line dance that I've found as of this August 2026 publishing date.

"El Paso Soul" Just Fine line dance is performed to that song which was recorded by Mary J. Blige.
Here's an excerpt from Ai Overview:
"Mary J. Blige released the official remix to "Just Fine" (featuring Lil Wayne and incorporating Chubb Rock's "Treat 'Em Right"), which is widely used for the popular El Paso line dance, on February 18, 2009. 
The original solo track debuted earlier on October 16, 2007."
-snip-
According to AI Overview, this song by Mary J Blige is categorized as part of the R&B/dance pop genre.

Here's a comment from a Houston Soul Line Dance Facebook post asking about that line dance:
ImStephanie Brown, 2025

"I learned this dance from the creator of the the dance "the General" Leigh Williams and it was to Mary J's Just Fine.

-end of quote-
I have found some traditional African American examples (i.e. horizontal line formations) and some single file examples in the 2020s on YouTube with the title "El Paso" or with the title "Just Fine" by Mary J. Blige..

**
2. 
"Kang Wit It" (also known as "The K-Wang" is a Hip Hop song (track) by Khia that was first released in 2002. That track was performed by African Americans in Tampa and in other cities in Florida as a stand alone dance. (How that dance is performed is described in the record's lyrics.)

However, "The K-Wang" / "Kang Wit It" is best known among African Americans in certain cities throughout the United States, but especially in the South, as a traditional African American line dance that is performed different ways depending on one's city.

**
3. "Follow Me" is a House music genre record by Aly-US that was first released in 1992.This song was originally performed as a stand alone partner dance. I've come across a lot of single file videos of this line dance on YouTube. However, I haven't come across any traditional (horizontal lines) African American line dance videos for "Follow Me".

**
4. "Just Let Me Ride" by Ms. Jody was first released on January 8, 2013 and  Ms. Jody released a popular remix version  in 2014.  "Let Me Ride" is categorized as a Southern Soul/Blues record.

Quoting AI Overview: ["Let Me Ride"] "is a staple in the Southern Soul and line-dancing community, often accompanied by specific dance slides"...

I've only come across one example of traditional (horizontal formation) line dance video and one other single file line dance video of this song. However, given that AI Overview, there may be other line dance examples of this song on YouTube. 

**
5. The song "Trailride Sailing" is a R&B /Soul' Southern Soul/Line Dance song that was first released in 2023 by Meechie. A number of traditional (horizontal line) African American line dance videos of "Trailride Sailing" were published before videos of the single file line dance versions of that dance. 

Some line dance videos of "Trailride Sailing" are also given with the title "Sailing". 

**
6.The YouTube video of "Soul Train Line" was just published in July 2026 and may be a newly created line dance. "Soul Train Line" was recorded by Tee Doe Brown in 2024. According to AI Overview, that song is categorized as Southern Soul and Blues with strong elements of R&B and line dancing.

I haven't come across any other videos of that line dance, but that may be because the song is new.

GENERAL INFORMATION ABOUT TYPES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LINE DANCES
African American line dancing is social dancing that originated among African Americans and is usually performed by African Americans.

Some records that are used for African American line dancing may consist of instructional lyrics for that particular dance. However, most records that are used for African American line dancing are repurposed social dance records from R&B, Southern Soul, Hip Hop, House music, or Gospel genres.

There are three different types of formations that are used for African American line dancing:

-Horizontal line formations
People stand in horizontal (parallel) lines. Everyone dances independently side-by-side in unison, performing the same choreographed sequence of steps at the same time.

Dancers complete a set sequence of steps, often facing one wall, then turn to face a new direction (wall) and repeat the pattern. 

-Vertical line formation 

People stand in a vertical line to form a single file behind a designated leader. The rest of the people in that line follow the leader in a winding, circular direction.

-Parallel line dances
The formation for these dances consists of people standing in two parallel lines facing each other with a space in between those lines. Usually, one line consisted of males and the other line consisted of females.

A person from each line or one person at a time from each line take turns dancing down that space to the end of those lines. 

This type of dance formation is commonly known as "the Soul Train line" (after the popular African American television dance series Soul Train). The 1957 dance The Stroll is an early example of this line dance formation. 

****
The first two types of line dancing formations that are described above are the only ones that are used in the 2020s in (predominately African American) social gatherings, line dance classes, or line dance events.

Based on YouTube videos, it appears that most African American line dances in the 2020s (including line dances that occur during trail ride gatherings) have horizontal line dance formations.

INFORMATION ABOUT "THE K-WANG" (ALSO KNOWN AS "K-WANG WIT IT")
From https://genius.com/Khia-the-k-wang-lyrics
" “The K-Wang” is a song by American rapper Khia, released in August 2002 as the second single from her debut studio album, ‘“Thug Misses”. The song was a moderate radio hit on urban stations and the accompanying dance was popular in Tampa-area clubs in the fall of 2002. In the years since its release, the song has also become associated with a line dance.

Both the title of the song and associated dance originated from a local Tampa clubgoer, Twan, who frequented the bars where Khia worked in her early days as a rapper.

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT KWANG WIT IT AND OTHER EXAMPLES OF AFRICAN AMERICAN LINE DANCES

Popping fans, Blowing Whistles, And Other Additions To African American Line Dance Performances

Prior to the mid 2000s, men (and fewer women) performing African American line dances held and waved short towels. These towels were often color coordinated with the dancers' outfit and served a dual purpose as a way to wipe the sweat from their face after they danced. Based on YouTube videos that I have watched, since at least 2015 or so, holding and waving a towel seems to have largely been replaced by the custom of women and men popping hand held plastic fans. 

These hand held fans are popped during certain times during the line dance itself for their musicality and visual aesthetics (though a number of people disagree about these points).  .

Also, perhaps a little bit after 2015, it has become customary for one (designated?) dancer in the line dance group to blow a whistle during the dance performance itself. Blowing the whistle is done to add to the musicality of the music and not to signal a change of direction or a halt in movement. As is the case with popping fans, some people really like this addition to African American line dancing, and some people really dislike it.

In addition to popping fans, and blowing whistles, I've just come across a few YouTube videos of people playing a tambourine during the line dance performance. In one of those videos, a line dancer is playing a cow bell during the line dance performance.m

Most of the above mentioned videos were of (regular) African Ameerican line dance performances and one of those videos were of a trail ride line dance. 

Although I haven't found any YouTube videos of Gospel line dancing that featured a person playing a tambourine, I wouldn't be surprised if that custom came from that small sub-set of African American line dancing. (I also haven't ever come across any trail ride line dance videos in which people danced to a Gospel record.) 

****
The Attire Of African American Trail Ride Dancers
 

Based on the YouTube videos of African American outdoors or indoors trail ride line dancing that I have watched, the common attire for women is t-shirts and small jean shorts with cowgirl boots.The common attire for men is t-shirts and informal pants with cowboy boots. Sometimes women and men wear cowgirl/cowboy hats at these trail ride gatherings. However, it appears to me that more often the women don't wear any head covering and the men wear regular baseball caps or no head covering at all.

I've also noticed that groups of people were t-shirts whose color and lettering identifies
what Steppa (Stepper) group they are from or any other group affiliation. The multiple single file line processions for these trail ride dances that occur at the same time in the same large space during actual trail ride gatherings may be based mostly on those attendees'  group affiliations.

People who perform trail ride versions of line dances apart from actual trail ride gatherings appear to be no different from the attire that they wear during their other line dance classes or line dance events.

"We actually were doing the k-Wang line dance before the song came out in 1996. It's interesting how the original line dance eventually became the K-Wang wit it line dance ๐Ÿค”"

This song actually wasn't recorded until 2002, but the stand alone dance was preformed before the record was released.

The clip that features this "K-Wang Wit It" dance is found in the beginning of this video to 4:08 of this video.

I'm not sure if the "choreographed by Tonya Starr" statement refers to all of the trail ride routines including "K-Wang Wit It" that was danced that way before the 2025 publishing date of this video.
