Country Swing Dancing
Country swing is making a big comeback especially since the pandemic. This is an easy dance to learn and really cool.
East Coast Swing
Swing dance started in the 1920’s with charleston and then lindy hop. You can see East Coast Swing done in ballroom studios and country dance floors alike.
Polka
There are lots of different styles of polka but country polka sure is fun.
Triple Two Step
This is a rather new country dance but it has its roots in the honky tonk.
Nightclub (NC2)
The “two step” was developed in 1965 by a 15 year-old teen from Whitaker, Illinois named Buddy Schwimmer . Buddy was doing a line dance called “Surfer Stomp.” It was based on two steps and a stomp. This worked well with fast music, but the footwork was too slow for medium and slow tempo songs. The timing was changed and it went from a line dance to a partnership dance. This then became the dance called “two step.” Eventually in 1978, Buddy opened a dance studio in Costa Mesa, California and started teaching “nightclub two step” which is not commonly called just nightclub. I you want to learn the nightclub basics, this is a great video by our own megan and brian. Nightclub, like all dances has gone through changes over time. It has evolved into two different-feeling dances. The original footwork was “rock in place, side” (quick, quick, slow). The country western dancers have adopted it and have included it in their competitions changing the footwork to (slow, quick, quick to better match the music). Nightclub is very gliding, continuous, strong and powerful with a big sweeping feeling. It is precise and quite technical. Nightclub is a dance you can do in nightclubs as well as ballrooms, weddings, cruises, etc. It’s an alternative to the “slow” dance – the dance where you stand, put your hands on your partner’s waist and your partner puts her arms around your neck and you sway back and forth, back-and-forth etc., etc. It is perfect for medium and slow music. Nightclub is danced to popular music, mostly ballads and songs such as “Lady In Red,” “On the Wings of Love.” Its popularity is slowly moving east and is starting to be taught in Europe. It is just a matter of time before it is danced everywhere in the United States. When the 70’s rolled in, John Travolta brought back couples dancing with his movie role in Saturday Night Fever. Country western dancing is what you see Debra Winger doing with Travolta in the movie “Urban Cowboy” and with Tom Berenger in the movie “Betrayed” – the kind of dancing men and women do to contemporary country western music. Country western line dancing became popular in the late 80’s into the early 90’s although without a partner it is a different animal than couples dancing. 1990 into 2000 (the height of popularity for country music) brings partner dancing back. Country western line dancing has now shifted towards country.
Country Two Step
Dances carrying the name “two step” have existed at least since halfway through the nineteenth century. In this century the two-step was done for a long time as a cowboy dance. These two-steps use a rhythm that we would now call “triple-step triple-step.” In more recent times, the chasse has been altered to be a passing step. Two step dancers use “step step step step” rather than “step close step step,” yet both use the rhythm QQSS. Country two step is a great dance for country music fans! In this century the two-step was done for a long time as a cowboy dance. Folks gathered just about anywhere to dance – on ranches, in barns, in the wide open spaces under the stars. Slowly a dance that was specifically “western” began to evolve. Novelty moves and styles popular in Appalachia and the south came west and were absorbed by the new settlers. However, the most important influence came from the cowboy! The modern day two step is the main partner dance in country western dancing. The basic step occupies 6 beats of music. Similar to the 6-count swing, the steps consist of 2 quick steps (1 beat a piece) and 2 slow steps (2 beats a piece). Beyond the basic inside and outside turns, the two step incorporates many ducks, tunnels, and funky arm positioning. As couple dancing regained popularity in the mid 1970’s with the emergence of disco. In the late 1970’s as disco died and country music continued to rise in rapid popularity, a resurgence of interest in western dance emerged. During this time, two step underwent rapid growth as a social dance. Two step followed the popularity of country music to its peak in popularity in the 90’s, the competitive influence of the UCWDC has created the two step we now see today.

Wedding Lessons
Bachata Classes
This dance is one you will find anywhere there is salsa dancing. Its basic step is easy to pick up and the music is sure to make you want to move your feet.The basic step consists of side steps and taps back and forth with a Cuban hip motion, followed by a tap including a hip movement on the 4th beat. As you continue to progress, there are plenty of turns, rotations and arm movements that add to the wide appeal of this dance.
Cumbia Classes
Colombian style salsa began in Columbia and is danced to a different type of salsa music called “Cumbia.” The style is still quite popular in South/Latin America and can be distinguished by a circular style of open/side breaks with a tap on the pauses of 4 and 8. Feet never move forward and backwards as in the Mambo step. Instead, the movement is a series of back to centre or side to centre footsteps.
Casino Rueda Classes
Casino Rueda (meaning salsa wheel) is a group dance which originated in Havana, Cuba in the 1960s. In this dance, you dance in a circle. One dancer, designated as “The Caller”, provides hand signals or calls out the moves. You perform the moves in the circle simultaneously. Many of the Casino moves involve swapping or switching partners. Rueda is a tricky dance but spectacular to watch.
Miami Style Salsa Classes
Miami style salsa evolved from the Cuban style of salsa but is a more difficult and technically advanced style of Cuban salsa. Advanced Miami salsa your moves tend to be intricate and pretzel-like and require a flexible follower to execute the moves. Many of the Miami moves are the same as Casino Rueda moves and the style is still more circular than linear.
L.A. Style Salsa Classes
L.A. style specializes in theatricality, acrobatics, musicality, sensuality, and high energy. Having roots in Mambo, LA Style is danced On 1 such that the dancer breaks on the 1 versus breaking on2 like NY Style. Compared to their NY counterpart, those who dance LA style are said to “dance to the beat”. This means they follow the downbeats of the music. They are the flashy, energetic, trick inclusive, all out dancers.
New York Style Salsa Classes
This is the style of choice for most professional dancers and performers. In the 1970s, Eddie Torres created this style which emphasizes efficiency of movement, elegance, and body isolations. The beat on which the dance break i.e shift their weight also gives the style a more common name of On2! The timing in New York Style connects well with the tumbao and clave patterns inherent in Salsa music, specifically Salsa Dura (Hard Salsa).
