“Smoke Rings in the Dark” is a classic late-90’s song by Gary Allen that peaked at number 12 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs chart in February 2000. The dance to this song is special in that it can be taught and danced as a line OR partner dance. It is a beginner level line dance and an intermediate circle dance due to some different hand changes.
