Line dancing is performed in rows with all people facing either each other or in the same direction. All dancers, male and female, execute the same movements without physically touching one another. Each dance consists of a number of walls (a wall is the direction the dancers face at any given time) and has no regard for gender or partners.

This form of dance is similar to folk dancing and mostly performed to country western music. It has accompanied many popular music styles since the early 1970s, however, including pop, swing, rock and roll, disco, Latin and Jazz.

Kulik will teach user friendly steps and choreography for Country and Western line dancing.
