country dancing
Rural group footwork
Country dancing is a traditional social dance form where couples arrange in lines or circles and perform choreographed figures together.
The dancers follow a caller's instructions through patterns like do-si-dos, promenades, and chains.
English country dancing dates to the Renaissance; American variants include square dancing and contra dancing.
We learned country dancing at the community center.
