The Timeless
Texas 2-Step
Smooth, simple, and the most social dance in the state — if it’s country, it’s this.
Texas Tradition
Social Favorite
A little background.
Get on your hat and boots and get ready for a country good time with the Texas 2-Step. Created by cowboys and popularized in pop culture, the 2-Step is one of the easiest ways to cut a rug at your nearest country bar. Characteristic shuffling steps combine with complex turns for both man and lady to create a dance that can range from charming and romantic to high energy and exhilarating.
Don’t forget your other country dances! The Country Western Polka, Country Western Waltz, and Country Western Rumba are excellent additions to your country dancing repertoire when the 2-Step just doesn’t fit the music.
