This (unofficial) documentation of the most popular African American line dance is mostly limited to those records that are made specifically for line dancing. Usually, part of the lyrics for those records include dancing instructions.
I've (mostly) limiting this documentation to this type of line dance videos because it's impossible to know how many of the people viewing videos for records that have been repurposed (adopted) for line dancing* viewed those videos for that purpose.
*The video for the "Wooble" line dance is an exception to this rule because (as that video shows) the "Wooble Baby" originally wasn't a line dance. For that reason, the Addendum of this pancocojams post showcases a YouTube video of the Wooble line dance. Information about the creation of that dance routine is also given in that Addendum.

Here's some information from AI Overview about the history of the Wooble line dance (source:https://www.reddit.com/r/Zillennials/comments/1rl6io5/is_the_wobble_more_z_or_millenial_or_is_it_purely "/Is the Wobble more Z or Millenial, or is it purely
Zillenial?" (discussion beginning in 2026)
"The "Wobble" line dance routine was rooted in an
urban line dance called "Nasty Girl" created by Philadelphia
choreographer Dave Bush Jr. (known as the "Godfather of Soul Line
Dancing") and Butterball's Posse in the mid-1990s. It was later adapted to
V.I.C.’s 2008 hip-hop song "Wobble" with help from figures like West
TX Jay (Jeremy Strong). It blew up nationwide around 2011–2012 through viral
social media videos, weddings, and club play."...
