What Is Linedancing?
Linedancing is a choreographed form of dance incorporating a repeating sequence of steps and which is identically performed by a group of dancers in one or more lines.
That means, when you step out a linedance, you are following a sequence of steps that have been conceived by the choreographer or choreographers.
Line dances are usually phrased as either an 8-beat dance or a 6-beat dance, the latter being known as waltzes. Some step sequences are syncopated, others are not. A non-syncopated step sequence is one where each step in the sequence is done on successive beats of the music. Syncopation is where you do two steps in the one beat.
Tags, phrasing and restarts aside (and many would love to leave them aside), linedancing involves the repetition of a sequence of steps for the duration of the music.
Proper footwear is very important. That doesn't mean you have to all wear cowboy boots, rather you need to wear shoes or boots that are comfortable and provide just the right amount of traction. Leather soled footwear is best, but not compulsory - especially for beginners.
See you at class !!!
