Founded in 2025 and based in Bristol, Tennessee—the birthplace of country music—The Line Up is a welcoming line dancing community created by Derrick and Nikki Minor. With deep roots in dance, Derrick and Nikki have performed a wide range of dance styles throughout their lives. After a certain age, opportunities to perform, compete, and grow as a dancer disappear. Their shared passion for line dancing has led them to create a space for line dancers who crave challenge, connection, and the thrill of the stage. The Line Up is a hub that brings together BIG ENERGY events, modern western vibes, and a shared community by establishing opportunities for dancers of all levels to come together, connect, and thrive. Through hosting events and fostering community spirit, The Line Up is dedicated to spreading the joy of dance one step at a time. Come find your people and hit the floor with friends you haven’t met yet!
