A 

line dance is a
choreographed dance with a
repeated sequence of steps in
which a group of
people dance in one or
more lines or rows, all facing
either each other or in the same
direction, and executing the
steps at the same time. Unlike
circle dancing, line
dancers are not in physical
contact with each other.
