That post showcases a 2011 YouTube video of a Charlotte, North Carolina line dance class performing a line dance version of "K-Wang". "K-Wang" (also known as "K-Wang Wit it") is the name of a 2002 Hip Hop track that was composed and recorded by (African American) Tampa, Florida female rapper who goes by her first name "Khia".
Selected comments from the discussion thread of that video explore how particular African American dances are performed differently during the same period of time depending on the city, state, or region of this country, and how those dances may have the same name but are performed differently in later years.
Also, the selected comments in this pancocojams post documents how residents in the city that "birthed" a particular dance often feel ownership of that dance and can therefore be critical of any changes to changes to the way that dance is performed by people outside of their city.

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. 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."

Here is a large portion of the transcript for this video (given without time stamps)
"All right. All right. So, in today's video, we will be doing the K K Wang with it trail ride.
Okay. It's a trail ride line dance. So, it's a little bit updated version from the old version.
The steps are easy. How we did it in class the other day is slightly different cuz
it's easier to do it this way than to do with all the leg work we did in the class.
So, let's go ahead and start.
Now we're starting off on our right foot.
So I'm going to go with right, left.
Okay, from here we're going to go faster. Right, left.
Okay, so slow, slow, fast.
Perfect.
Now we're going to go from here added in the front steps leading withthe right foot. So right, left, and I'll turn to the side so you can see that little tap and tap and tap and tap with the knees.
Okay, so let's start it off from the top.
Perfect.
We're going to go right, left, right, left, right, left,
tap, tap, squat down.
All right,
So we're going to go ahead and do that all over again, but I'm going to turn to the side
so you can see the front stuff, too.
We're going right, left, right, left, right, left,
tap, tap.
Squat down is the next step.
Okay, so one more time from the top.
Right, left, right, left, front, front,
tap, tap, squat up, right leg rock up,
One, two, rock back, one, two.
All right, we'll go ahead and do that again starting from the top.
Right, left, right, left. Tap, tap. Knee, knee,
squat. Come up. Rock it up. One, two.
Rock it back. One, two. Swirl to the right. Swirl to the left.
Easy. Hopefully. Let's go ahead.
Let's do that again. Starting with the right.
We're going right, left, right, left. Tap, tap, knee, knee, squat.
Come up. Rock it up. Rock it back.
Swirl to the right. Swirl to the left.
And from here, because this is a trail ride, we're going to walk up four steps.
So, what that basically is, if I start from the back,
we'll start from the back and walk up.
This dance is usually done in a circle. So, we don't go from wall to wall.
We stay on one wall and we just keep on trucking forward cuz it's a
trail ride dance. Okay.
Starting from the top. Right, left, right, left. Tap, tap, knee, knee.
Squat. Come up. Rock it up. Rock it back.
Swirl to the right. Swirl to the left, right, left, right, left.
One, and two. One, two, three, four. Tap. Tap. squat.
Come up. Rock it up. Rock it back.
And swirl to the right. Swirl to the left.
Right, left, right, left.
And we keep going forward every time we move on with the dance.
So, if you have it, I'mma turn on the music and we going to do it together.
All right.
[...]
Basically, yes, that is a dance.
We'll do it together in class with the music up a little louder.
What I will say with this dance is because we're not doing as much footwork,
it's a lot easier and it's just basically we're walking into a circle.
So, we keep going up.
All right, let's try it again. Also with the song, once she finish saying
"So fresh, so clean, so fresh, so clean" then she go right into the song.
That's when we all begin.
Okay. All right. So, I'm going go ahead and end here
and I shall see you beauties Wednesday. Bye now."

This dance instructor is describing what I refer to as "single file"/circle" trail ride line dances.
These are just one form of trail ride line dances.
I haven't come across a YouTube video yet of "K-Wang Wit It" that is performed as a single file/circle" line dance. However, click https://pancocojams.blogspot.com/2026/08/examples-of-african-american-single.html for a pancocojams post that showcases some other videos of those types of trail ride line dances.
