Country Music super stars Rascal Flatts released their new album 'Changed' on April 3, 2012.  The first single from the project, 'Banjo,' has already soared to No. 1 on the Billboard Country singles chart.  Now, it looks like the trio may also have another dance floor hit!

 

The line dance to 'Banjo' is choreographed by Brandon Zahorsky, a popular country line dance instructor from upstate New York.  Zahorsky is also one of the special guest instructors and choreographers appearing on the 2013 Caribbean Country Dance Cruise with Nancy Hays.  Click here for more information on the annual Caribbean Country Dance Cruise.
