Fonseca Holman is the founder of Positive Force Line Steppaz, established in 2014 and rebranded in 2025. Fonseca’s choreography is popular online — her routine to “Too Long” by King George has gained over 7 million views on YouTube. She also produces step-by-step instructional content for dances like “Backbone Slip” and “Pep in Your Step,” and is certified in Zumba, Step, and group fitness.
Soul line dancing features choreographed steps, like the electric slide, set to soul, R&B, hip-hop, Go-Go, and gospel music and has grown in popularity since the 1990s in African American communities. Like western-style line dancing set to country music, no partner is required. Soul line dances are part of wedding and family reunion celebrations, and also a popular fitness option for all ages. 803Fresh’s “Boots on the Ground” song, music video, and TikTok challenge made soul line dancing newly popular after its release in 2025.
