Partner Dance Mini Workshops
Learn new couples dances from Swing to Two Step, and even a little Cha Cha. Students will embrace a full range of steps, patterns, temps and rhythms, and turns and directions for both partner dancing and line dancing. Brush up on your steps or start fresh, while meeting other couples. Classes are monthly.
Level: All Levels
NOVEMBER Country Two Step The two-step is a partner dance and a progressive dance that proceeds counterclockwise around the dance floor; referred to as the racetrack. The partners usually start in closed position where the leader faces the line of dance, and the follower starts out dancing backwards. Soon both start dancing in different patterns, while moving down the line of dance. That’s why it’s fun, creative, and challenging, all while you are enjoying that good old country music.

FEBRUARY Country Two Step (30 minute lesson on footwork with a few basic turns) The two-step is a partner dance and a progressive dance that proceeds counterclockwise around the dance floor; referred to as the race track. The partners usually start in closed position where the leader faces the line of dance, and the follower starts out dancing backwards. Soon both start dancing in different patterns, while moving down the line of dance. Triple Two (25 minute lesson on footwork with a few basic turns) The Triple Two Step is often called “swing on the move” since the dance uses a progressive version of triple timing swing basics. The triple two progresses around the perimeter of the dance floor in a counterclockwise fashion.
