hISTORICAL DEVELOPMENT OF LINE DANCE

Line dancing as it’s name implies to people whose dancing in line to the music. From the
adaptation of polka and waltz by American immigrants in the 1800’s which evolved into square dance to
folk dance, the origins of that format of dance are widespread. While many common dances of line are
set to country music, the dances of first line did not derive from country-western dance. It is
believed that line dancing originated from folk dancing which has many similarities.

Contra dancing, a style of American folk dance in which the dancers style two parallel lines and
execute a sequence of dance movements with different partners down the length of the line and
possibly influence tremendously the line dancing steps we learned today. One of the famous dances
is called hustle during the 1970's. During the 1980’s and 1990’s, line dances started being
created for popular country songs. One illustration is a dance performed for the 1992 smash hit "Achy
Breaky Heart" by Billy Ray Cyrus. Mostly during 1990's, even conventional music began to see an
upswing throughout line dances, with "the Macarena" acting as a kind of hybrid folk-rock dance
number that took the world by surprise.

Line dance format

Specific line dances focus on the movements of the legs and foot, with more complex dances integrating the arms
and hands. A line dance’s movements are called “counts”, where one count is usually equal to one musical
note. At each beat there is a particular motion or step. A line dance would have several counts, indicating the
amount of beats about a whole dance sequence, for example a 64 count dance will have 64 beats. The number
of beats isn't necessarily equal to the number of steps, however, because steps can be made between two
beats or more. Line dances is always consist of specific numbered steps, being labelled with a catchy name like,
The Texas Two-Step, the Tush-Push, the West Coast shuffle, the Redneck Girl and Boot Scottin' Boogie which
are all well-known line dances which until today are still performed in country-western bars.

LINE DANCING TODAY

Line dancing’s steps are easy and don't require partner dancing, line dancing is perfect for singles and
people who don't normally dance. Line dancing is taught and performed in country west dance bars, social clubs,
and dance halls around the worldIn 1996, a newer version of the electric slide which has been around for
over thirty (30) years was created and called the "Cha-Cha Slide," whose easy-to-follow steps are dictated right
in the song's lyrics, although Some gestures like the Charlie Brown can be new to you. The "Cupid Shuffle"
also became increasingly popular in high school dances in the early 2000s, and is still being played in clubs.
