steps at the same time

surprisingly did not originate from any country or western place. The steps and the
manner of dancing were believed to have coined from folk activities in ancient times.
Another form believes to have contributed to this modern method is the Contra.

two lines facing away from each other. Together, they perform a series of dance steps.
It was only during 1980s that the art of line dancing has become popularly at tuned to

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.
Line dancing is practiced and learned in country-western dance bars, social
clubs, dance clubs and ballrooms. It is sometimes combined on dance programs
with other forms of country western dance, such as two-step, western
promenade dances, and as well as western-style variants of the waltz, polka and
swing.
Line dances have accompanied many popular music styles since the early
1970s including pop, swing, rock and roll, disco, Latin (salsa suelta), rhythm
and blues and jazz.
Line dancing is a form of dance that takes place with a group of people.
Participants line up in rows and execute the same movements in a
synchronized manner.
Everyone dances alone, side by side, facing the same direction in lines or rows.
.... Each dance consists of a sequence of steps that are repeated throughout
the music. Although a variety of music may be used, the major emphasis is on
country-and-western music.
Line dancing involves people standing in lines and performing dance
movements together. It consists of patterned foot movements that are usually
performed to a number of counts per sequence, and then the sequence is
repeated. The dances are done one-wall, two-wall, or four-wall.
Now line dancing is considered an art form of its own, with its own terminology
and standardized steps.
