<P> The Madison was a popular line dance in the late 1950s . The 1961 `` San Francisco Stomp '' meets the definition of a line dance . At least five line dances that are strongly associated with country - western music were written in the 1970s , two of which are dated to 1972 : `` Walkin ' Wazi '' and `` Cowboy Boogie '' , five years before the disco craze created by the release of Saturday Night Fever in 1977 , the same ( approximate ) year the `` Tush Push '' was created . The Electric Slide was a Disco - based line dance created and popularized in the mid-1970s . The `` L.A. Hustle '' began in a small Los Angeles disco in the Summer of 1975 , and hit the East Coast ( with modified steps ) in Spring of ' 76 as the `` Bus Stop '' . Another 70s line dance is the Nutbush . </P>
