Justin Lee Williams: From realtor to line dance instructor

Justin Lee Williams didn’t set out to become an in-demand line dancing instructor.

Actually, it was a real estate career that didn’t quite materialize, resulting in a fall-back job at a Boot Barn with a side gig teaching bachelorettes to boot, scoot and boogie. Then came the viral video shared by Shania Twain, and the rest has been a rocketship ride.

Nothing gets timid dancers out onto a vacant dance floor like a well-known line dance so, today we’re learning how a Black man from Pulaski saw an opening to bring us together over scissor steps and shuffles.
