Just for clarification purposes, I can't remember what type of recorded music was played throughout that dance. However, I think that it was one song for most of the dance and then a different song {with no gap in between} for the ending segment when the "couples" danced facing each other. But if I recall correctly, both of these were instrumental songs and both of them were only moderately fast.

Also, one of the things that I liked about that dance was that people of all ages danced together. That is to say, a child could be partnered with an adult. It was just how it happened in two lines.

In defense of African American wedding reception customs, we usually do line dances at wedding receptions {or at least most wedding receptions I've been to do the "Electric Slide" if not any other line dance}. And usually children of varying ages will do the line dance {or try to do the dance} along with the women and men.

I know that this is only tangentially related to the subject of this thread. But I still wanted to share it.
