Line Dance
A line dance is choreographed dance with a repeated sequence of
steps in which a group of people dance in one or more lines or rows
without regard for the gender of the individuals, all facing the
same direction, and executing the steps at the same time. Line
dancers are not in physical contact with each other. Older "line
dances" have lines in which the dancers face each other, or the
"line" is a circle, or all dancers in the "line" follow a leader
around the dance floor; while holding the hand of the dancers beside
them.
Although line dancing is associated with country-western music and
dance, it has a similarity to folk dancing. Many folk dances are
danced in unison in a single, nonlinear "line", and often with a
connection between dancers. The absence of a physical connection
between dancers is, however, a distinguishing feature of country
western line dance. Line dances have accompanied many popular music
styles since the early 1970s including pop, swing, rock and roll,
disco, Latin (Salsa Suelta), and Jazz.
Line dance now has very traditional dances to country music, and not
so traditional dances to non country music. It now uses more than
just the "stereotypical" country music, in fact line dancers dance
to most styles of music: country as well as modern pop, Irish, Latin
just to name a few. |
