line dance
Country bar choreography
A line dance is a choreographed dance performed by a group arranged in rows, all facing the same direction and executing the same steps in unison.
No partners are required—everyone moves independently through a repeated sequence.
Line dances are fixtures at country-western bars and wedding receptions: We all got up for the Electric Slide.
