Line dancing is a choreographed dance style that’s done in rows in unison. Not only is line dancing fun, but it’s really easy to do! Line dancing is a popular dance form that’s performed by a large group of people in rows. Dancers face the same direction and complete the dance at the same time. As Robertson explains, “In line dancing, you learn a sequence of steps and moves. Typically, you rotate from wall to wall.”^{[3]
