that could be danced on various Country Songs.
Actually, although this dance was not at all a milestone in the history of Country Line Dance, 15 years after, the "Cowboy Stomp Fever" crossed the Atlantic Ocean and spread over in Latin countries: Italy, Spain and above all France where dance clubs bearing the name "Cowboy and/or Stomp XYZ (in France, often words in Frenglish)" appeared between the years 2006 and 2010! "In a fascinating twist of cultural blending, European dancers transformed traditional low-impact stomps into high-energy jumps, heavily influenced by local regional folk dances like those found in Catalonia."
Moreover, in many European countries—and notably in France—country dance enthusiasts have highly formalized their own codes and dress systems on the floor. This has resulted in a distinct cultural synthesis: a blend of historic American traditions and an idealized, media-driven vision of the New World frontier.
