Meaning

The dance line is a name for the members of a group who mainly handle the dancing. The US entertainment site Showbiz Cheat Sheet wrote that fans consider BTS's Jungkook, j-hope and Jimin the group's "dance line," the three who take on the most challenging parts of the choreography. The same article notes that, technically, j-hope and Jimin are BTS's main dancers and Jungkook is one of the lead dancers along with V. The dance line is a grouping fans use, separate from individual positions such as main dancer or lead dancer. Some groups have a named unit instead: Star News introduced Jun, Hoshi, The8 and Dino as SEVENTEEN's Performance Team.

Usage

Used to talk about the members who mainly dance, as in "BTS's dance line." It is a grouping fans use, so who is included depends on context.

Examples

  • j-hope — One of the members fans count in BTS's dance line; the same article also calls him one of the group's main dancers (Showbiz Cheat Sheet).
  • HOSHI — One of the four members of SEVENTEEN's Performance Team unit (Star News).
