Trying to learn this by myself lol its hard to learn alone lol
Ha! Partner dancing does make more sense with a partner!
I hear ya. Ballroom dancing too.
We all been there. I'm there right now actually! lol
Same! Lol. I wish I had someone to dance with
@@h.p.5836 same here. Anyone want to learn with me? 😂
Thank you for these videos my wife and I been two stepping for years. The moves which we intend to incorporate into our dancing.
Awesome. Thank you for joining us here!
Another awesome tutorial. Loved the outdoor scenery. Especially Rose looking gorgeous as always! Anthony also looking cool in his casual wear this time outdoors. You two are such a pleasure to watch and learn from.
Thank you so much for the kind words and for being an X Dancer!
The boot camps look like so much fun! And a lot of participants. I'm glad it's going so well for you.
Thanks, Janet! We hope everyone is having as much fun as we are! We’ll be sitting down this week planning out several trips. I hope we can see you if we end up close to you!
Country Dance X: Yes, come north!
I’m going line dancing tonight for the first time I think I got this now thanks boss!!
You got this!
Great video! I've never considered myself much of a dancer. As I've gotten older I find myself wanting to be a better dancer. I like that I can apply these moves to Tejano dancing.
Welcome! We tell people that you only have 2 hands and 2 feet. There's only so many things you can do. Movements cross over from all dances into others.
Ugh I wish my Husband was more open to dancing 😣 I wanna dance on our 10 year anniversary which is Feb 2023. Y'all move so beautifully together
Ya see… it’s all about the proper motivation ;-)
Thank you so much for being here!
Y’all make it look easy! I wish these video tutorials were around when I was younger, as well as more coordinated & agile, and actually had the confidence to ask a beautiful woman to dance (like… 25-30 years ago..?) 😂
But seriously, great video! Y’all are excellent instructors and you’ve earned a new subscriber! Thank y’all so much!
We’re so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for being here. We enjoy doing these videos and appreciate you for watching
This is fantastic! I've danced for years, but don't know how to teach my husband how to lead. I was looking for a functional pattern like this to build from. Thank you!
So glad you liked it! The lead and follow are so different. It’s hard to teach “the other side”. Thanks for being here and keep dancing!
Great video I use to teach but stayed away from two step it was hard yrs ago for me to learn I see now I might of been taught wrong thanks for the lesson
Thank you! I wouldn’t say that Two Step is the “easiest” dance... but I think it’s one of the “simplest” when you approach it in the right way.
Anthony's 'How To Get Ripped' is sure to happen at some point. His build is AWSOME!
Thanks, sugar ;-)
I'm such a klutz dancing, I even step on my own feet. This is a great video, maybe something will sink in:)
Everyone is a beginner in the beginning!
Really Great Video! Beautiful surroundings, great voice and projection, lovely chemistry between you two, and I like the rhythmic cadence of your instructions. After my hip replacement I'll be following these vids for real :) :) Can't wait.
DO I need to get my hip replaced to dance like Anthony? Where do I sign up?
We love your moves! Keep up the great job. If you are ever in Nashville, TN, let us know!
We'll be there in a few weeks :-) We moved to Houston from Nashville and visit family there a couple times a year.
Country Dance X That is awesome. My wife and I just moved to Nashville a year and a half ago. I am from Sealy, TX. Very near Houston!
I love your top!
Thank you so much!!
I gotta learn this someday!
No better time than now!
This makes things so much simpler to understand. Thank you.
We love to hear that! That’s why we do it.
Wish I would of seen this before this last weekend lol
Lots more weekends!
His fashion is classic
Like GQ - Country Edition hahaha
Love u guys
Love you back!
Great teaching lesson
Glad you liked it
Great video sir. God bless Texas yeee haww
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@countrydancex I already know how to square dance so the 2 step seems very easy from your video. Do you have an Instagram sir?
We are on both Facebook and Instagram under countrydancex
Sooo cute!!
So glad you enjoyed it!
Love these videos thank you! I love to two step but never formally learned. This helps a lot
So glad it helped! Welcome to Country Dance :-)
You guys are a great couple
Thank you! We kinda like each other ;-)
What a good-looking couple! :)
Thank you!! 😊
Want to learn this dance x
Thanks for watching! Let us know if you need any help :-)
Great lesson, great video editing, and overall great video! What time of day did you film the two of you demonstrating at Cheval?
Thank you! The instruction was filmed after the workshop was over and most everyone had left, so it was probably around 8pm (as the sun was starting to go down and we were running out of daylight)
@@countrydancex The lighting was perfect!!! I was so sad to miss your workshops (family vacation)... I plan to shoot some footage for my new line dance music video at Cheval this coming Friday with BJ and thought your lighting was great! That's about the time I will be shooting. Again, great editing!!
We’ve enjoyed your videos too! It’s a beautiful venue there. We look forward to coming back in October... we hope to see you then :-)
@@countrydancex Sounds great!
Adia Nuno do this to this song ua-cam.com/video/zQZ6Dy53GLE/v-deo.html
I’m going to Nashville next month and I’m gonna find me a cowboy to dance with.
Ha! We moved to TX from Nashville. Fact: not many cowboys in Nashville :-)
@@countrydancex I’m from Arizona - lots here hahaha but yeah I’m sure it’s not what I think I’m Nashville lol
@@wellhellothere8854 I'm here baby just for you baby 🥴
Your videos are excellent. I'm curious about this series of moves and if there is a prep involved to give the lady a signal that indicates what or something is coming?
Thanks for being here! There's always a prep for everything. To prep just means to prepare. Anytime there's motion, energy has to be stored and released to create that motion. Want to turn left? Store energy to the right. Want to move forward? Store energy backwards.
"Signal" is not a word we would use when discussing lead/follow. We wouldn't need to "indicate" that something is going to happen as much as we would assure that something "Can" happen. Prep is how we make sure.
One-and-a-half facing forward, One-and-a-half facing backwards ugh I wanna be able to do this!!
This looks like so much fun. I take it you don´t have any plans on coming to sweden for one of these courses any time soon? :P
That sounds like such a fun adventure! But, we would be lying if we said we had plans 🫣
Rise, you dress the cutest. Where do you get your attire?
That's sweet! Much of the stuff we wear comes from Buckle :-)
I just imagine i have a dance partner 🥰
I am having a hard time getting the count and knowing when to start to music. DO you have a video on this subject or any that you can point me to? Started dancing a month ago so as long as my instructor is giving me a count I have no problem. Love the videos by the way.
Hi there. Thanks for joining us and welcome to partner dancing! We don't have a video on that specific topic, but let us do our best to answer here...
Two Step has a down beat and an up beat. The down beat (typically a bass drum) is on the odd counts, while the up beat (snare drum) is on the even counts. You can start on any down beat. It will kind of sound like "boom, tick, boom, tick". Step right on top of the "boom" and you're good to go! Hope this helps :-)
@@countrydancex Wow, best written description of rhythm of heard, thanks!
Learning alone aswell
It’ll be worth it!
What can I do as lead if I move us into promenade and she's starting with left instead of right?
Hi there. That is a common one for new dancers. If we were there in person, we would likely address why she is getting on the wrong foot rather than trying to figure out what to do once she is. I would pay attention to either the lead that is taking her into promenade, the timing of switching to promenade... or trying to keep each one of her steps moving down the line of dance rather than bringing the feet together when switching to promenade (that’s really common).
question:can u make another video same turns for polka.
Thanks for the suggestion. We did a “how to turn Two Step into Polka” video... ua-cam.com/video/oelfcAVUZAE/v-deo.html
Quick quick slow slow is very similar to the basic steps of the Foxtrot.
Two Step began as foxtrot :-)
Hmm, in Texas what you described in the video is more of a shuffle step. Two step in Texas usually describes quick, quick, slow aka left, left, right, with progression in a circle around the dance floor. At least that’s how it is in Western, Central, and North Texas.
Yeah, some people in Texas do some pretty weird stuff. Two Step as we dance it is actually the standard from one side of Texas to the other. Has been for decades. But, there are some people who kinda do their own thing.

@@countrydancex interesting takes in that video. I found this ua-cam.com/video/B0497K7BO6c/v-deo.html by the University of North Texas and it describes things the same way as how I did in the other comment. It’s for sure how things are done in Fort Worth, Wichita Falls, Lubbock, and Abilene. Although if I recall correctly, I do remember people dancing the way you described in Austin and I was extremely confused lol.
Linear QQSS Two Step has been the nationwide standard for decades. BTW ... we're in Texas.
@@TaskForce812when I was in college and started to go to a country two step bar in New Mexico, the method u describe is what I saw pretty much everyone doing
What is the difference between Texas two step, and country two step?
ToMAYto, ToMAHto

Felix Costa is that, like, your lucky number?
do you have a web page?
www.xdance.com
I thought it was left left right left repeat? Not he walking backwards. Am I in the wrong two step place
You literally can’t step with the same foot twice in a row (unless you hop).
Watch this: ua-cam.com/video/2NPdOQyqCkc/v-deo.html
is it me or video looks choippy when played? and great teaching is just my eyes get wack while playing the vid
No, you’re right. We had some technical difficulties that day 😅
So, in the two step, only the lady has to be able to dance good.
That’s funny
Why does country have So many spins
All the cool kids are doing it
I’ll take this video more seriously if he wears boots
Yes... The information provided in this free instructional video is very much dependent on the chosen footwear of the teacher
I swear I'm not trying to be a troll, but when you it seems to me your "quick" steps are the same speed as your "slow"steps. I've never seen 2 step like this "walking" like you said.
Rhythm isn’t counted by your feet moving. It is counted by feet landing (weight change). The idea is to have your legs move smoothly and consistently (legato movement), with the weight exchange happening on counts 1235
sorry video good, but is he supposed to be some kind of urban cowboy? lol
Sorry. Thanks for watching, but it’s our policy not to take criticism from anyone we wouldn’t take advice from. Looking forward to your videos. Lol
@@countrydancex too funny!
Ok y’all are not even doing a step your just walking
Yep. The basic of Two Step is rhythmical walking. 2 quick and 2 slow walking steps. Don’t shoot the messenger.
Too many turns..
Saying that Two Step is too many turns is like saying water is too wet
