At first with the guitar and hand clapping dance, with the development of the times, and later integrated into the European court and Latin-style dance steps, dance step diversity, style innovation, simple and easy to learn, is a kind of personal enjoyment, but also with the group **** music dance. The biggest characteristic of line dance is that there are strict rules for foot movements, which must be consistent with the crowd, while hand movements can be freely played. Each dance song has its own unique dance code. The compilation of a new song must be certified by the International Line Dance Association before it can be released and promoted globally. Therefore, the same dance song is danced in a uniform way all over the world.
