Jamie Gant was not only interested in the fun of line dancing, but also the health aspects, and the story of how  and why he started Step In the Name of Life™ caught my interest.

Jamie’s grandmother was tired visiting a gym, walking, or doing other forms of exercise to stay healthy.  When she was at a Miami party, she saw a group of people line dancing and decided that she wished to attend a class to take some line dance instructions for the exercise.  She asked Jamie to accompany  her.

So they went to the classes and learned  to dance, but wanted a class nearer to their Carol City/Miami Gardens neighborhood. Since there wasn’t one, Jamie decided to start one and bring the residents of the area an interesting way keep active, have fun,  and get exercise.

But, he didn’t stop there.  He made it his mission to provide this style of dancing to as many cities and people as possible.   He wanted people to live longer, have fun,  and be healthier, so Step In The Name of Life™  was born.  Their goal:  Stepping Away Diabetes, High Cholesterol, High Blood Pressure & More™.

When I last looked at their website, there were more than 32 cities listed. Jamie Gant is no doubt doing his part to bring line dancin’ fun and good health to many people.

Below you will find the step sheet of the first line dance that Jamie’s grandmother saw at that party in Miami called “Homey Twist.”  It’s easy to learn and very addicting.  I do it all the time around my home.  It’s so much fun!!

I’ve also included a video with the music and a group from  Step In The Name of Life™ performing the dance.  Enjoy!!
