What is country hodown?

Country hoedown is a type of folk dance party that originated in the southern United States. It is typically accompanied by country music, which often features instruments such as fiddles, banjos, and acoustic guitars. Hoedowns are usually high-energy events, with participants dancing in pairs or groups, often in lines or circles. Traditional hoedowns include dances such as the square dance, two-step, and the line dance. They are often held as community events, such as at county fairs, barn dances, or weddings.
