Description
The two-step is country western dance’s “slow” partner dance, to all tempos of music. Leader and follower dancers repeat a non-alternating pattern of “slow” and “quick” steps, moving as a duet in Line of Dance, or counter-clockwise around the hall. We learn Albuquerque’s most danced style, characterized by turns and twirls for both partners, always maintaining the footwork pattern and moving to the tempo and beat of the music. Sign up with a partner or meet one in class. Lead/follow rotation is encouraged. Limited enrollment.
