According to Wikipedia,

“A line dance is a choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of steps in which a group of people dance in one or more lines or rows, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and executing the steps at the same time.”

Unlike circle dancing, line dancers are not in physical contact with each other.

This allows for personal space and freedom while still enjoying a group activity.

While line dancing is most commonly associated with country music, it’s versatile enough to fit various musical styles.

Though it’s frequently seen in Cowboy bars and dance floors around the world, its roots are deeply American.

Next, the music shifted to a more traditional country song.

When “Song of the South” began, the dancers really hit their stride.

The familiar twang of a female vocalist filled the air, and the dancers seemed right at home.

Perhaps there’s some truth to the idea that a cowboy hat can boost your line-dancing skills!

The crowd cheered them on, enjoying every moment.
