Two-Step
Learn the Texas Two-Step at Home with Easy Dance Lesson Videos
"Picture yourself navigating the crowded dance floor at your local country western night club. You step out into the rush hour traffic circulating to the beat of a popular two-step song, rapidly gather your thoughts, then go! The acceleration in the two-step pattern is exhilarating as you execute the complex turns and spins that are trademarks of a great two-step. The lights and faces of your fellow dancers and the spectators blur with the exception of your partner’s face if you are the follower as you maintain a central focal point for the turns, pivots, and spins as the dance progresses around the floor. For the leader, it is a slightly different story. Your view of the dance floor is much closer to that of a video game, with each step your perspective changes as you advance around the floor, with new obstacles to avoid and the path of your dance constantly adjusting to the rapid changes on the dance floor. The leader’s mind is rapidly clicking through the different moves available to him and fitting the best one to the immediate situation, ever mindful of the constant tempo of the two-step and his partner’s placement. As you and your partner master this dance, the realization strikes that for the dancer, the two-step transcends the music – it is an exhilarating challenge in navigation and lead-and-follow dancing that is difficult to match in the genre of dance."
