Linedancer

Linedancer Magazine was a dance publication launched in Southport, England, in June 1996 with an initial print run of 1,000 copies. It became the world's best-selling dance publication, with a circulation of just over 20,000. The magazine established a standard layout for line dance scripts; its "Stepping Off The Page" format remains the template for printed line dance choreography, and the title promoted the crediting of choreographers for their work.

Under Betty Drummond, Linedancer also founded the Crystal Boot Awards, an annual awards event attended by more than 800 guests, to which a Hall of Fame was added in 1999, as well as the Line Dance Foundation charity (February 2007), the free Linedancer App (2016) and Linedancer Radio (July 2018).

The organisation now operates online at linedancerweb.com, which hosts its dance script library, charts voted on by dancers, reviews and news.
