Country 2-Step

The basic step of the two-step is this: quick-quick slow-slow. There are many great songs where the two-step is a great alternative to waltzing, if waltzing is a challenge for you.

Country Swing

Swing dances are typically with one other partner. Some groups switch partners during a dance. It depends

on your skill level.

  Warning   

This video is louder than the other two.

Basic Line Dancing

Line dancing does not require a partner. Anyone can either start a line or join a line.

​

The dancers in a line, however, will all be doing the same dance.  

​

Robert Royston says, even if you don't know the dance, there are some basics you can watch for to help you more easily join in.

​

Also line dancers are always happy to teach you as you dance. 

Country Dance Styles

Two-step, waltz, east/west coast swings, line-dancing, cowboy/traveling cha cha, polka (ten step), and western promenade.

Waltzing

Both of these choreographers have videos on the waltz. And while there is a slight difference between a ballroom waltz and a country waltz, the steps are the same: 1-2-3, 1-2-3, since the music is in 3/4 time.
