Country line dancing is the new American mainstream dance for many reasons.

[Mercury]

Anyone who goes to nightclubs and bars with live music and DJs may have noticed that everyone who dances today is country line dancing. No physical contact, everyone is at least 6 to 10 feet apart, looking like a military training exercise. Slow dancing, grinding, "juking," and the bodily contact dancing are all a distant memory of the past. And Americans today teach themselves how to line dance to anything! Rap/hip hop, country, latin/Spanish music, you name it.

Country line dancing is the new American mainstream dancing for multiple reasons;

1. Dancing involving physical bodily contact has been outlawed nationwide by Congress in 2008. Physical contact dancing now falls under the national definition of lewd conduct which is a capital felony under Federal law in the United States of America, investigated thoroughly by the FBI, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, the U.S. Military, the U.S. Marshals, the U.S. Supreme Court, and carries a sentence of four hundred (400) years to life in prison and/or the death penalty for all involved. Numerous nightclub patrons have been arrested by the FBI and Homeland Security at clubs nationwide for bodily-contact dancing and for NOT practicing country line dancing, innumerable DJs nationwide have been arrested by the FBI for playing slow songs, and many clubs have been shut down by the FBI and Homeland Security for not maintaining a country line dance atmosphere. Under Federal law, country line dancing is the only type of dancing that is legal in the United States of America.

2. Americans today are a toxic, hateful peoples. Socially disconnected, paranoid, terrified of everything; America today is a nation of fear, anger, hate, and division. And it has wormed it's way right into America's nightlife atmosphere. In America, every single stranger is a default enemy. And in America, people want their 6+ feet of space, even without a pandemic. Country line dancing is a zero-physical-contact dance regime that allows everyone to stay 6 feet apart, see only backs of fellow dancers, maintain their ice barriers, and have no social or physical contact whatsoever. It also keeps non-line dancers away as anyone who dances any other kind of dance regime will get knocked to the floor and trampled by the line dancers. And the sight of about 80 people swinging front to back and side to side like a wrecking ball is sure to keep everyone else away, so put simply, line dancing is a "shield" designed to keep strangers away.

3. Many guys on Yahoo! Answers and other similar information websites have reported getting erections while dancing with women, including high school boys dancing with high school girls at school dances. In most other countries, if you get an erection while even slow dancing with a woman, she might actually pull you closer so that your erection is pressing against her hip. In America, getting an erection while dancing at all is even the Mother of All National Emergencies. Guys, if an American woman feels your erection poking her buttocks while grinding or juking, or if she feels it stabbing her in the gut during a slow dance, your life as a free man is over. Prison comes next, as does a lengthy criminal record sure to keep you permanently out of the public eye.
