A woman in recovery finds a new community and maybe something more in a surprising place: Line Dancing at a community dance hall.

Review by Julie C. Sheppard:

The short Line Dance takes the viewer down a linear path. The suffering central figure is introduced bit by bit, with reference to her divorce, missing her beloved son and her alcoholism. Fortunately, she finds joy and relief from the enjoyable and social hobby of line dancing. The scenes of her having fun participating in this delightful activity are so satisfying. She herself is a quick study in the choreography and it is quite entertaining to witness the huge dance hall full of active participants, all in step to the lively music. 

The scenes of passion and enjoyment with her new man are also lovely and intimate. Other well-directed scenes are far more subdued revealing sadness at her place of work, her humbleness at the AA meeting and her feelings of anger and rejection when she is ghosted by her new lover for several weeks. 

It is the film’s resolution that completes the journey of the narrative. While still fond of the new boyfriend that she has forgiven, her most beloved passion is for the dance.
