  • Our friends Grant and Shalee Taylor from King and Queen of Country Swing were kind enough to share a tutorial for two-stepping. We hope it inspires some of y'all to take a turn on the dancefloor, even if it's just in your living room!

    I had a date this weekend and she told me she loves county music and dancing so I assumed she meant 2 stepping...y'all made this so easy to pick up, now here's the catch. She didn't know how to 2 step !!! Lol still an amazing night and thank y'all for helping me impress my date ❤️

    Y'all nailed it. Boot scootin' diagonal - left foot, left foot and then right foot slow is the way I've done this since the 80's when I learned whilst dancing with a wooden chair..

    Love it. What I like about this video is that you covered what you are calling style 2. That was what I learned many moons ago. When the two step showed up in my feed I thought I'd check it out. I quickly become worried that maybe I had been doing it wrong all these years since most are teaching the "quick and slow" more like a walk. So it's nice to see I'm not wrong. Lol

    That's how I was taught the 2-step 40 years ago when I first took lessons (I don't think It really matters), but most clubs/teachers teach: quick quick slow slow, but I prefer the slow slow quick quick; especially for beginners. Since then, I've taken ballroom lessons and therefore adopted a more formal posture and enjoy it because of better control & balance. But still enjoying @ 66 with my wife of 30 years (who I met 2-stepping). Oh, I forgot to say I like Tacovas also, I have 3 pairs.

    SLIDE your feet, taking actual steps takes away from being smooth on the floor, hence why so many dance halls will have saw dust on their floor, to be able to glide.

  • @jamessimmons5888

    It's important to point out in each & every video that there are ONLY two (2) dance styles done on ANY social Dance Club/Lounge anywhere in the World. Spot/Rhythm & Progressive/Traveling. The congestion Problem (s) we all run into these days is that Dance Instructors do not continually reinforce (Over & Over/ Ad Nauseum ),...... All Spot/Rhythm Dance Styles should be done in the CENTER of the Dance Floor,......Progressive/Traveling Dance Styles are done in the two (2) outside lanes of the Dance Floor. Slower Progressive/Traveling Dancers on the inside Lane & the faster moving dances in the Outside FAST Lane. This way, we can ALL perform our dance of choice at the very same time to each particular Music Selection. Thank You!

She just went 2 step forward and 1 step back.The one iI knew it was like prancing around in a slow circulare motion.

    Isn't the two step basically a quicker waltz?
    Wait, maybe not, a waltz is three, all the two steps seem to be four.
    I confused myself: why, if there are four repeated steps, is it called a two step?
    If a waltz is 1, then 2 3, why is it actually 2-4 time? Confused again.
    Please folks, I do know how to dance, it's just the jargon that confuses me.

    Well the problem is now everybody wants to have a modern version of everything and when you're talking about traditions and standards you can't modify anything most of the people who think they're two stepping are actually going freestyle two stepping is very rigid it's just like square dance there's no modifications

    You need to quit teaching the dance. You are doing it all wrong. Two short steps with the guy's left foot and one full slide with the right. Hence the phrase, "TWO-STEP". Quit ruining the dance and teaching people wrong. You almost had it right at 3:00 into the video but you don't SIDE-STEP.
