Edited by Azizi Powell

This is Part III of a three part pancocojams series about the hit 1963 song "Walking The Dog" and the dance "Walking The Dog".

This post showcases a 2025 trail ride (country) YouTube video of "Finna Get Loose" that features movements from the early 20th century/1940s jazz dance "Ballin The Jack" and the 1960s dance "Walking The Dog". This trail ride video is compared with a 2025 urban soul line dance video of "Finna Get Loose" that doesn't include those movements. 

The comment sections of these YouTube videos don't refer to the way these soul line dances are performed.
