A frequent choice of Europeans to have United States as a place of carrying out their vacation, the availability of the continent hardly accessable before which has became a reality in a century of jet aircraft, have opened wide open space and for cultural dialogue. Dance of the country which can be heard and danced in hundreds and hundreds of country music clubs scattered on all territory of the USA, from Florida to Washington became one of the most popular means of dialogue. The contribution to growing popularity of the country-music brings also satellite TV thanks to which it is possible to look tv programs with country music, let alone hundreds of commercial radio stations round the clock transferring country music, and also variety of special editions.

The country-music has started to change in the late eighties when  tempted   musicians have begun to pull down strict borders  between various musical styles existed before. So, in the country the elements of music borrowed from soft rock have been introduced. Texts of country-songs have changed also. Replacing primitive, tearful or sugary rhymes the lyrics has come filled with the philosophical content, written at good professional level. The country became more intelligent. Direct associations with the Wild West, and cowboy's hats, scarfs, boots have disappeared, belts with buckles became no more than theatrical attributes of dance. The style which has turned out as a result of this small revolution has received the name "new-country".

The modern American country ascends roots to other linear dance - a disco of 1970s. Disco also was once the dance that made the world mad, especially after an appearencet of the  "Fever on the Saturday evening". However, that style which was shown in this film by incomparable John Travolta, not very much approached for filling dancing discos. After all John Travolta actively worked with his hands and that it is absolutely impossible to repeat in a cramped hall. Then there was time for one of the basic actions of the new-country - to dance, holding the big fingers of hands behind a belt of jeans or behind a belt. As follows from the name, the American country-dance in a line assumes execution of certain sequence of figures at which the dancing settle down in a line. The dance essence, its highlight, in that all participants of dance began it simultaneously, executed synchronously same sequence of figures and movements and simultaneously finished dance with last beat of music. The majority of country music is written on the average temp calculated on a slow step that is why country dance is accessible for people of any age.
