Every country fan is familiar with the 1984 Kenny Loggins classic Footloose, which was featured in the film of the same name. When the film was remade in 2011, Blake Shelton offered his own twist on the timeless country hit. Maybe it's because the song is so bright and cheery, or maybe it's the tune that makes it perfect for dancing.

Whatever the reason, when the Worcester Texas Roadhouse team heard this track in 2015, they probably figured it'd be the perfect track for their next entry into the yearly line dancing competition.

The video starts off with the employees enacting a charming skit while the song's intro plays in the background. Once the song kicks into high gear, the team assembles! They immediately launch into a full routine with kicks, struts, claps, and peppy dance moves that'll make you want to jump out of your seat and start dancing along with them.

Throughout the performance, the team's smiles never leave their faces. You can even hear a small audience cheering them on. For this Texas Roadhouse team, this is clearly the performance of a lifetime.

They dance in perfect sync, never missing a beat. And when the song ends, they cheer and come together like a family. This is clearly a team that knows how to work together and play off each other's strengths so they can win the coveted top prize at the Texas Roadhouse line dancing competition.

Of course, they did! This delightful performance earned the Worcester team the title of "champions," according to the video's YouTube description. With a team this dedicated, we know the Worcester store will go far. We can't wait to see what they do as a future, both together and individually.
