A fist fight occurring on a public street, sidewalk, storefront, alleyway, etc.
The name alludes to the propensity of small-town residents to be intimately involved in the affairs of their neighbors, occasionally leading to violent altercations when encountering others in public. This is especially pronounced on weekends and in local bars or taverns where gossip and taunting is more likely to escalate to violence.
The name also refers ironically to the stereotypical portrayal of small-town “hicks” and their radical opposition to dancing, as was portrayed in the popular 1984 musical drama Footloose, starring Kevin Bacon.

“Hey how was your weekend?”
“Oh, it was alright. Went to the bar on Saturday night and got into a little small-town street-dance with Donny after I told him I got up in his sister’s guts.”
