Question
In the 1990s, our clogging team danced to a song called "Dance," which was sung by a woman.  The song begins, "All week long I've been looking forward to a hard wood floor and a country band..."

The chorus went like this:  "Dance, dance, get out on the floor and dance..."

Can you tell me who this song is by?  I'd like to buy it for my clogging students to dance to.  Thanks so much.

Answer
Hi Kelly!  I finally found the song you were looking for!  It's called "Dance" by Twister Alley.  I've included a couple of links for you--one where you can listen to the song, and another where you can purchase the album if you're wanting to use it for your students.  Hope this helps!

All week long I've been lookin' forward,
To a hardwood floor and a country band.
Scootin', shootin', howlin' and hootin',
At "The Swingin' Door" with all my friends.
Thank God it's finally Friday,
Gonna get my old boots down.
Gotta find me a long, tall cowboy,
After the sun goes down, I'll swing him
around.
And dance, dance, get out on the floor and
dance.
Dance, dance, get out on the floor and,
Hoe down, show down, everybody throw
down.
I wanna hear a fiddle sawin',
And I can't get enough of that guitar twang.
Bankers and brokers in Wranglers and
Ropers:
Everybody's doin' that cowboy thing.
Thank God it's finally Friday,
Gonna get my old boots down.
Gotta find me a long, tall cowboy,
After the sun goes down, I'll swing him
around.
And dance, dance (Yeah.), get out on the
floor and dance.

Dance.
Swing 'em fast, swing 'em slow,
Lift 'em high, dip 'em low.
Ala Mande and Do-Si-Do,
Now you got it, way to go.
(Let it go, boy.)
Ah, dance, dance (Yeah.), get out on the
floor and dance.
Dance, dance (Yeah.), get out on the floor
and,
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.
Dance (Yeah.) dance (Whoo.), get out on the
floor and dance
Dance (Yeah.), dance (Whoo.), get out on
