What is a line dance?

A line dance is a choreographed sequence danced solo in rows — everyone does the same steps facing the same way, no partner needed. Tush Push repeats the same 40-count sequence, turning to face a new wall 4 times through. Once the counts click, you can join in the moment the song comes on.
