PANCOCOJAMS EDITOR'S NOTE
There are numerous past and present versions of the "Booty Call" (and other titles) line dances that were/are performed to Blackstreet's 1994 "Booty Call" [Remix] record.

The posts in this pancocojams series showcase a few YouTube videos that feature versions of "the Booti Call" ("the Booty Call"; "Trouble Slide (Booty Call") line dances that were/are performed to Blackstreet's 1994 record "Booti Call [Remix]"* . These videos are presented based on their publishing dates with the oldest dates given first. It's important to note that later showcased videos may show earlier versions of this particular line dance.

*Some other online examples of these dances are performed to another record.

The titles and/or summaries and selected comments from each video's discussion thread can provide information and opinions about the version of this line dance that is showcased in each of these videos.

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULR MEANING OF "BOOTI CALL" (usually spelled "booty call") 
From AI Overview
"booty call/ˈbo͞odē ˌkôl/A booty call is a late-night phone call, text message, or invitation sent to arrange a casual sexual encounter without romantic commitment. The term can also refer to the person you regularly contact just for sex."
-snip-
Pancocojams Editor:
"Booti" is an alternative way of spelling the African American Vernacular English word "booty". As such, the word "booti" is an example of African Americans creatively playing with how words (including names) are spelled, written (how they look), and/or how they are pronounced.

"Booti Call" ("Booty Call" ; "Trouble Slide") line dance moves aren't meant to imitate or suggest having sex.

That said, the trail ride versions of soul line dances usually consists of much more sexually suggestive (twerking, hip shaking etc) movements that urban Soul line dances.

One probable reason for this is that trail ride line dances are usually performed by a much younger age range of line dancers than "standard" urban Soul line dancers. 

****
WHEN DID THE TITLE "TROUBLE SLIDE" (OR "TROUBLE SLIDE (BOOTY CALL)" FIRST BECOME USED FOR THIS LINE DANCE AND WHY WAS THE NAME CHANGED?
From Ai Overview
"The title "Trouble Slide" (also known as "Trouble Slide (Booty Call)") began gaining widespread traction in late 2024 and early 2025 as a viral sensation on platforms like TikTok and Facebook.

The choreography for this specific modern version is credited to creators Imari (@theimarilashae) and Dani (@laayandani), set to the dancehall remix of Blackstreet's 1994 song, "Booti Call."

 Why the Name Change Happened

The transition from calling it "Booty Call" to "Trouble Slide" came down to two major reasons within the line-dancing community:

1. Avoiding Confusion with the 1990s Classic: There was already a highly popular, traditional 1990s line dance officially called the "Original Booty Call Line Dance". When the new modern routine went viral under the name "Booty Call" because of the song title, traditional dancers pointed out that the original dance already existed. To respect the original choreography and separate the two distinct dances, the community began adapting the new title.

2. The "Southern Trouble" Influence: The routine exploded across southern soul, trail ride, and urban line-dancing circuits. Groups and creators like SCSouthernTrouble heavily promoted and put their spin on the challenge. The name "Trouble Slide" organically stuck as a nod to this style and group, giving the modern dance its own unique identity while keeping the original track as its musical backdrop.

EXPLANATION OF TERMS FOR AFRICAN AMERICAN LINE DANCING IN THE UNITED STATES

Additions and corrections are welcome.

"Soul line dancing" is another referent for "African American line dancing".

African American (Soul) line dancing can be divided into two main categories:

1. Urban line dancing (mostly to R&B/Funk, Hip Hop music, but also to some Gospel music)

Urban line dancing originated in cities such as Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in the Eastern region of the United States and Cleveland, Ohio and Detroit, Michigan in the Midwestern region of the United States.  

2. Trail Ride (Country) line dancing. (mostly to Southern Soul music. Note that African American Country line dancing refers to line dancing to Zydeco music. However, that type of line dancing isn't called Trail Ride dancing.

Trail ride line dancing originated in states such as Texas, Louisiana, and South Carolina in the Southern region of the United States. 

**
The term "Steppas" ("Steppaz") is a referent for Trail Ride (Soul) line dancers and "Steppas/"Steppaz versions is a term for the way that Steppas/Steppaz performed a particular line dance.

****
Here's an AI Overview about the use of certain terms in the United States to refer to line dances:

AI Overview

Line dances are primarily referred to as "hustles" in Michigan (particularly the Detroit area) and Toledo, Ohio.

Here are key regional terms for line dancing across the United States:

Michigan and Toledo, Ohio: Called Hustles (such as the Detroit Hustle or local routines like the G.Q. Hustle).

Midwestern cities like Chicago, Illinois, Wisconsin, Minnesota, and St. Louis, Missouri: Called Slides.

Nashville, Tennessee: Urban line dancing is referred to as Twines.

West Coast (California and Nevada): Historically referred to as Step Dances before the term line dancing became widespread"

****
THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULR MEANING OF "BOOTI CALL" (usually spelled "booty call") 
From AI Overview
"booty call/ˈbo͞odē ˌkôl/A booty call is a late-night phone call, text message, or invitation sent to arrange a casual sexual encounter without romantic commitment. The term can also refer to the person you regularly contact just for sex."
-snip-
Pancocojams Editor:
"Booti" is an alternative way of spelling the African American Vernacular English word "booty". As such, the word "booti" is an example of African Americans creatively playing with how words (including names) are spelled, written (how they look), and/or how they are pronounced.

"Booty Call" line dance moves aren't necessarily meant to imitate or suggest having sex.
That said, the trail ride versions of soul line dances usually consists of much more sexually suggestive (twerking, hip shaking etc) movements that urban Soul line dances.

INFORMATION ABOUT BLACKSTREET (RHYTHM & BLUES MUSIC GROUP)
From https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blackstreet
"Blackstreet (often stylized as BLACKstreet) is an American R&B group founded in 1991 by Virginia Beach, Virginia-based record producers Chauncey "Black" Hannibal, Joseph "Street" Stonestreet, and Teddy Riley. The group released four albums with Interscope Records between 1994 and 2003. 

[…]

Their debut album, Blackstreet, featured the hit singles "Baby Be Mine" "Booti Call", "Before I Let You Go" and "Joy".[3] "Baby Be Mine", "Booti Call" and "Before I Let You Go" were all Top 40 hits, with "Before I Let You Go" hitting the Top 10. In 1996, they released their second album Another Level. It was a breakthrough success due to the top single "No Diggity" (with Dr. Dre), which was a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 in November 1996. In 1998, Blackstreet won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals.[3]

[…]

After several failed attempts to keep Blackstreet together, all members eventually continued with solo careers for a time. However, in 2014, it was announced that past members Black, Little, Middleton, and Williams were back together under the Blackstreet moniker. They continue to perform with this lineup currently, and embarked on their second Australian tour in April 2015.[9]”…

THE AFRICAN AMERICAN VERNACULR MEANING OF "BOOTI CALL" (usually spelled "booty call") 
From AI Overview
"booty call/ˈbo͞odē ˌkôl/A booty call is a late-night phone call, text message, or invitation sent to arrange a casual sexual encounter without romantic commitment. The term can also refer to the person you regularly contact just for sex."
-snip-
Pancocojams Editor:
"Booti" is an alternative way of spelling the African American Vernacular English word "booty". As such, the word "booti" is an example of African Americans creatively playing with how words (including names) are spelled, written (how they look), and/or how they are pronounced.

"Booty Call" line dance moves aren't necessarily meant to imitate or suggest having sex.
That said, the trail ride versions of soul line dances usually consists of much more sexually suggestive (twerking, hip shaking etc) movements that urban Soul line dances.
