WOW! Finally somebody who actually knows a proper two step. At 1:23 is how I was taught to Two Step back in 1986. Now I see why your in the "Country Dance hall of fame."

This is the best 2-Step tutorial I’ve seen so far, in my survey of same. Some quibbles: you pick your feet up. We never do. Why do you think they call it boot scootin’? There’s just no beating the “shhk-shhk”sound coming from a dancefloor when everyone is dancing that way. If you’re good at it, you have a good floor, and some dance wax powder, you can glide in a way that feels indescribably good 😁. And that tap variation looks weird, I’ve never seen that. What’s much more common (or at least it was, back in Grandpa’s day), was clicking your heels/insteps together as the feet passed each other on the slow-slow. Make these changes, and we’ll make a good CW dancer out of you yet 😄!

Thanks my friend. I've seen ALL SORTS of versions of two step. People who do it a certain way are pretty unaware of the fact that people do it all sorts of ways. It's more the same than it is different. The 'Step Together Step Step" is probably the earliest version coming out of Foxtrot. But over time people have come up with all sorts of variations ultimately passing their feet. Keep up the good work sharing the love of dance my friend! -Brian

Of the Texas 2-step, this is the traditional 4-beat 2-step. Texas variation is quick, quick, slow, repeat.

Did anyone else grow up in Texas, and learn this (first version with shuffle) as well as square and line dancing in gym class? My husband grew up in South Fla, and never heard of such a thing. I was wondering if this was a Texas thing.. ya know.. like mums on homecoming...Texas exclusive 😉

I love that you are teaching what I call left left right, describing the leaders step pattern. I know it's QQSS but that doesn't help a Newby understand when describing it. This is how I learned it many years ago and it's the only method I'll dance to. The other one, walking around the room, to me just seems less fluid and less enjoyable.
@jamey9758
@jamey9758 10 месяцев назад
I also like to describe it, for beginners, as step-together-step, take a step, and the old standard, step-together, step, step, describing what you physically do, as opposed to the timing with which you do it (QQSS)

Very brave of you to tackle this topic. A lot of instructors only teach Country Two Step and avoid other varieties as well as Country Swing. Follows need to be open minded and flexible enough to follow which ever style the leader is dancing. Too often I will attempt to Country Two Step with a lady that wants to hop around the floor with QQS and it's very difficult to make that work if she is not even stepping to QQSS.
@SocialDanceOnline
@SocialDanceOnline Год назад
There are many different versions of two step. Then there is country swing that can be rather difficult to understand if you are used to other styles. I would try and make sure you tell your partner which style of dance you want to do to the song and hope they know that style.

As I was progressing the video basic FoxTrot is thought the way you mentioned for the only reason to teach beginning level students. The timing later changes to SQQ which is is a 4 count.
@SocialDanceOnline
@SocialDanceOnline 6 месяцев назад
It is good to learn every dance from the basics. There are very important techniques. But foxtrot does change from slow slow quick quick to slow quick quick and can toggle back and forth.

I'm a Ballroom Dance teacher since 23 years ago and have a music education as well. In the Ballroom Dance Syllabus there is not a Texas Two Step or Country Western, which is the same thing. Texas Two Step basic is QQSS 6 beats in a 4 count bar, which it is not phrased. I decided to ask you, since you are proficient in it. As far as Fox Trot, SSQQ timing is meant to teach beginners for the only reason to change feet. Regular and advanced Fox Trot is SQQ timing, which it is phrased. I was also wondering how do judges judge Texts Two Step if there is no phrasing as far as musicality. In our competitions everything has to be phrased. Tango, Samba, Fox Trot. Thank you for your time.

Can you please explain one thing to me. The music has 4 beats and the basic step has 6 beats. How it is matching musicality. I need a professional output because I started teaching it and I don't even feel the music going in QQSS. Thank you for your time.
@SocialDanceOnline
@SocialDanceOnline 5 месяцев назад
Hey there! Great question - the short answer is that it doesn't match. Some dances match, cha cha, waltz for example but plenty don't like most of the swing dances. You can count 2-step 1,2,3-4,5-6 but we've found as teachers that the QQSS method is the easiest way to digest learning it (since it doesn't match the music perfectly) 2-Step evolved from the Foxtrot interestingly (or at least was heavily influenced by it as it gained popularity. It's what I call a 'street' dance meaning it's evolved through the dancers and wasn't formally written in a syllabus format like many ballroom dances were. I hope that helps a bit :-) -Brian
@ilianakaneva66
@ilianakaneva66 5 месяцев назад
Thank you for your honest answer. I'm glad that you mention the street history of the dances. Since Swing (Jitterbug, East Coast and West Coast) are also bar-born dances, they don't phrase. I didn't realized that Texas Two Step is also "street"'dance. My idea was that it is considered as a folklore kind of dance. Thank you so much for your time and opinion. All the best. Iliana

Nice of you to acknowledge the Foxtrot origin. Back when, my sisters and I attended dance class. I did a LOT of Foxtrot; this proved useless to 1960's music, but very useful when I got to Texas A&M and we went to the honkytonks. This is NOT a Two-step. You have turned the Texas Two-step into ballroom dancing. Every change you made might work for SS/QQ but please don't call it the Two-step. We first saw this in "Urban Cowboy" and that's what everyone does now, but at the time we were howling because only Houston did it that way. From watching you, it seems current C&W dancing merges three dance styles into one hybrid. That means every song is the same dance; how boring. Teach 4-forward, 2-back, to "Amarillo by Morning" or "Silver Wings", and get close enough to 'polish' those belt-buckles, to call it a Two-step.

There are lots of slightly different styles of country or ‘Texas’ two step - it was heavily influenced by ballroom dancers in Texas for sure! There are other different ‘two steps’ like double two, triple two or nightclub two too. The goal of the video is to help people understand that the basic steps of country or Texas two step are much more similar than they are different so people can feel comfortable dancing

There is no tap stepping in Two-Stepping and I lived in Texas and did it for years. OMG. You slide your feet as you step, NOT TAPPING THEM.
@SocialDanceOnline
@SocialDanceOnline Год назад
I would agree personally. Actually I personally don't slide my feet but the goal of the video was to let people know that there are many versions of the same dance (depending where you live and where you dance) and I wanted people to feel comfortable no matter which style they learn or dance. The versions of 2-Step came from the same place. (Foxtrot actually) and as the dance has progressed it has taken on many different forms. It's all still QQSS though! I also know that people might see this video (with taps) ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--g6X7KRuQ44.html It's a valid way but not the only way (again personally it's not the way I dance 2-step myself) I hope that helps, Brian

I agree with one comment- leave the QQSS out of it! That doesn't explain what your feet are supposed to do. Quick step does not tell me what foot to use.
@SocialDanceOnline
@SocialDanceOnline Год назад
No but the quicks and slows help you stay on time. After you learn what foot to use it is helpful to learn the timing.
