The Hairspray is most commonly danced to “You Can't Stop The Beat” by Nikki Blonsky, Zac Efron, Amanda Bynes, Elijah Kelley, John Travolta & Queen Latifah. Any upbeat track in a similar tempo works once you know the steps.
176 counts across 1 wall. The same sequence repeats, facing the same wall the whole way through until you're back to where you started.
Yes, the Hairspray is rated intermediate. If you're new to line dancing, get comfortable with basic grapevines and triple steps first, then drill it one 8-count at a time.
No. Like every line dance, the Hairspray is danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, so you can join in without a partner.
Slow the tutorial video on this page to 70–75% speed in YouTube's settings and drill one 8-count at a time. Once each section feels automatic, chain two together, then run the whole dance to music.
A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows. Everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. The Hairspray repeats the same 176-count sequence, turning to face a new wall each time through. Once the counts click, you can join in the moment the song comes on.
