line dance

A line dance is a formation dance in which a group of people dance in one or more lines , executing the same movements. In a small group there may be only one line, but usually there are several parallel lines, one behind the other. A dance teacher, or more experienced dancer, will usually perform on a stage or in the center of the first line. Inexperienced dancers are encouraged to take positions in the middle of the group to allow watching other dancers' feet in front of them. Experienced dancers are encouraged to take positions on the outside edges of the group to help others. In this parallel line formation, the dancers dance in a synchronized manner, but independently of each other. There are usually no moves that require any interaction between the dancers, other than they execute the maneuvers at the same time.

Line Dance 是一种集体的舞蹈，不需要舞伴，一群人整齐的排成一行一行向著同一方向，每人整齐地跳著相同的舞步，每一款舞有一组特定数目的舞步，每款舞会伴以指定的歌曲，舞步循环直至歌曲完结，Line Dance 源自美国西部，已经流行多年，起初主要用带 Country 味道的歌曲，但随著时间渐过，现在不同风格的歌曲都有使用，至於舞步方面是很广泛的，Cha Cha、Waltz、Tango、Samba、Latin 等等都有涉及。
