Summarize this article for a 10 year old
The Nutbush is a line dance performed to Ike & Tina Turner's song "Nutbush City Limits".[1] The dance, which emerged during the 1970s disco era, is particularly popular in Australia, where it has been taught in schools.[2]
The dance is generally performed by a group of people of all genders and ages at a social function, and has been performed in schools, social gatherings such as weddings and at community events. The dance is usually performed with the dancers positioned roughly in a box configuration, like that of a chessboard.[citation needed] The steps are fairly simple, such that one who does not know them can generally pick them up by watching other dancers. A key in the song and dance being a popular combination is that the song has a moderately long introduction before the strong dance beat starts, which allows people who are sitting down to get up to the dance floor and for all dancers to assemble themselves in a grid.
