You’re A Grand Old Flag Patriotic Line Dance How To

Patriotic holidays are a unconfined way to gloat our past. I love to flit and was inspired by the 4^th of July holiday to create a new line flit for my class. The song “You’re a Grand Old Flag” jumped out at me, so I put together a patriotic line flit how to.

History of A Grand Old Flag:

The song “You’re a Grand Old Flag” dates to 1906. George Cohan originally wrote it as “A Grand old Rag” based on a conversation he had with a starchy war vet with his tattered flag. It was quickly re-written as a “Grand old Flag. “It was the first song from a musical to sell over a million copies. It has gone on to wilt a very popular American march for bands. I fashioned my line flit without the 1945 James Cagney mucosa version of the musical Yankee squiggle dandy.
