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 without regard for the gender of the individuals, all facing either each other or in the same direction, and executing the steps at the same time. Unlike in circle dancing, line dancers are not in physical contact with each other. Based on per capita ranking of MeetUp Groups in the USA, Durham, N.C. was declared the line dancing capital of America in 2014.
