Dr. Greshun De Bouse has been the sole originator of the Boots on the Ground Line Dance Movement since 2022, when she also founded National Boots on the Ground Day. The day honors the first Black rodeo, western cowboy culture, and line dance traditions that use a physical fan. De Bouse acts as composer, producer, and choreographer for the Boots on the Ground Louisiana Lean Line Dance. Her corporate enterprise, which she controls, aims to keep the movement all-inclusive while preserving the history of the first Black rodeo.
July 7, 2026, marks the official celebration of National Greshun Day, a namesake holiday originally proclaimed in 2021 by the NAADCI. The holiday is part of De Bouse's catalog of holidays, which she uses to promote heritage preservation and community advocacy. She also founded National Handheld Fan Day, anchoring the cultural use of fans in public performance and line dance spaces.
De Bouse's background includes advanced degrees in multiple disciplines, and she has copyrighted the choreography and music. The movement has grown through social media and community events, though no financial details about the corporate enterprise have been disclosed. The brand remains privately held, with no public equity or debt offering.
