Country Line Dancing Instructions

Line dancing involves dance steps that are done in uniform with dancers lined up in one or several straight lines. The dances can be performed with partners or solo, as a part of the entire line. As with all styles of dancing, the steps range from simple to complex, based on your skill level. Beginners should begin with the introductory lessons and steps as these steps are often built upon in the more complex dances.
