Round Dancing is similar in that a cuer calls out the steps which are, however, taken from the social or ballroom repertoire. Rather than dancing in sets, all the dancers move around the room in unison. A new form of social dance, Country Couple Dance , has recently developed giving us country versions of all of the popular social dances. Although there has been line dancing in many cultures for thousands of years, Western line dancing has become very popular in recent years. Line dances are usually danced in a line with everyone facing the same direction.
Dancers move in the same d irection and the sequence of steps is repeated through the dance.
