During the 1980's, line dances began to be created for popular country songs.

Line Dancing is believed to have originated from Folk Dancing, which has many similarities. Contra dancing, a form of American folk dance in which the dancers form two parallel lines and perform a sequence of dance movements with different partners down the length of the line, probably had a huge influence on the line dancing steps we a familiar with today.
