Expanded Information:
Each of the square dances can be composed of different cyclic rhythms such as 32 beats, 48 beats, 64 beats and so on. So the rhythm of each tune is repeated in a specific circular rhythm. In addition, the basic dance pattern of each line dance is divided into alternating rotations in two directions and four directions.
Line dancing encompasses many social dances such as the cha-cha-cha, rumba, mambo, cowboy, and rockabilly. There are so many combinations and variations of the dance elements of line dancing, which can be simple or complex, which allows the dancers to dance their own personal style and completely their own interpretation, which adds a fascinating charm to line dancing.
