How To: Country 2 Step Dance Workshop by Michael Thomas

[@michaelallenmusic]

EXTREMELY helpful, explained well and not Over-explained as often tends to be the case. Thank y'all

[@Pensiverunner]

Excellent video. I'm a Dylan fan but lately I've been on a Emily Lou Harris kick. While listening to her greatest hits, the desire to 2 step comes to mind. So thanks to your excellent instructions I can built on these basic moves. Many thanks!

I just went to line dancing last night and to be honest I didn't really want to go but I have to say I had a blast. Now my girl friend and I are having a blast learning how to do the two step. thank you so much for posting this video =).

[@Kilhamjim]

Very easy to follow, What i like about this instruction is you can still count the QQSS but do the moves without moving far, a little like a swing dance if you like. Great for in a crowded bar or small dance floor, Good Vid,

[@coltcom1911]

Thank you so very much! Am re-learning this dance due to a brain injury. Really loved to do it before, for some reason this video was the easiest to understand!

[@512epic]

Thank you so much for this video! My fiancee and I looked through so many videos before we stumbled on this one and were just about ready to give up until we watched this. You are very good at EXPLAINING how to do the dance and giving tips that really help! Keep teaching! Thanks again!!

[@panda85222]

this is awesome please don't stop making videos you teach in a way people can get it

[@ladystorm61]

Awesome...I have wanted to learn how to dance for years. I guess I better take advantage of the free lessons they have at a local place here..."Quick, quick..slow, slow". Great job!!

[@Nlwindham]

Fantastic, now i can dance with my boyfriend, without having to learn it on the dance floor as we go, I get stepped on. Thanks Alot!!

[@JaKamps]

[@BLOODYMOON62]

thx dude u have no idea o much u just helped me

[@oohdonna]

Sorry, flagged it by accident. GREAT VIDEO, thanks.

[@esmietana]

great well done

[@michaelgenova5007]

Great video , do you have a country swing version basic like this ?

[@thomas2dance]

Yes this is Texas Two Step and is also called Two Step. In older style Texas Two Step the feet do not cover as much floor being the the feet come together instead of passing each other. Also some older styles have the man's right are on top and there is not much spinning. The Texas Two Step as variations depending on the area. But what you see is definitely the most common and is the way the Worlds Country International competition Texas Two Step is danced.

[@GodFamilyCountry101]

It's easy for the woman if she knows the basic step count of quick,quick, slow, slow. The turns are harder for the guy, though, if he's never done it before. I'm in the process of teaching my husband - he's been the drummer in the country band I've been dancing to for many years and we want to dance together.

[@muttlee1213]

GREAT teaching technique... Thank you SO much for the ease in which you just taught my husband how to two-step!! And to the folks reading the comment by the imbecilic teenager, please try and refrain from giving that toddler attention. We all know what his problem is...!

[@danstafford5977]

Going to a cape back to cross-arm skaters back to a wrap!

[@elflip88]

Man this guy is just walking around!!

[@Accordionpage]

I'm a bit puzzled by the inside turn. As explained the turn prepares on slow, slow and turns on quick, quick. This is also demonstrated with counts. In the next demonstration with counts, nothing happens on slow, slow, the turn is instead initiated on quick, quick and then completed on slow slow. Both seems to work but the second variant seems to be incorrect relative to the previous explanation.

[@TheRockinryan]

@noobtuberboy yeah, i thoug this was the two step, but it turns out its also some kinda ballroom dance also

[@spicysix]

nice and clear

[@stevenotero2331]

To Michael Thomas how do you get into a window dance from Steven

[@GodFamilyCountry101]

I have a question. I live in NY state and know this Two Step. In Arizona, however, the younger generation don't do it the same way. Instead of "quick, quick, slow, slow" they do "quick, quick, slow, quick, quick, slow". Any idea where they lost the other "slow"? I had a hard time dancing with my son in Tucson, even though I taught him the RIGHT way to do it before he moved there! (I did see some older dancers, a bit older than I am, doing it the right way in Tucson.)

[@breeced1129]

In Texas, Luchenbach actually, the way they taught is right left left.lool

[@stevenotero5299]

To Michael Thomas how do we do a window dance along with a sweetheart Scottish from Steven

[@BevieArlene]

Yeah!

[@quinnmccully4689]

What's the difference? I'm actually interested in knowing ;)

[@noooreally]

I get it, as long as you say quick quick slow slow, you can do anything and it's the two step.

[@misskaylam]

I'm getting married In 4 weeks and I'm having a hard Time getting this and the waltz. It's so simple yet My brain just can't make the connection lol

[@MissCinny]

So...It's Quick Quick Slow Slow, then...?

[@irvingonline1]

What if she is talller than you?

[@missingremote4388]

@BevCountryFan who they?

[@zonanlord]

got asked by my date today.. "do you know how to two step?" and of course.. i said.. "of course!!" ... then instantly found this video hehe saying SHIT over and over..

[@ThisYoungLibertine]

" Let me show you THIS BACKHAND! "

[@danstafford5977]

Not a step together their feet need to pass on every step... the lady turns on the slows and comes out on the quicks.. and the beginning lady going to do a quarter-turn which is a side together... but needs to do a pivot turn which is a half a turn!

[@themetalzelot]

@rolliepollie3844 i cant either dont feel bad

[@moviemanstan]

did anyone come here to learn what they saw in dj unks video?

[@haroldharville8238]

2 step

[@BevieArlene]

@missingremote Lol yes :)

[@CorrectsYou]

yeah..he didn't make that clear..I think he should have been more considerate to the viewers..

[@LuverPitbull]

This isn't how we two step in Texas.

[@Sutterification]

:)

[@marsolca]

And it's not two step until a guy steps on the lady's foot lol

[@bobbywhitewolf]

Step one: Wear Madonna head gear.

[@CucNamCham]

@maggiecccook : Oh - no - I want to be A woman .

[@JLandaSr]

what the...

[@robbyshell4889]

Get a bigger floor so you can move around. Nobody wants to take baby steps.

[@armyaviationproud]

@noobtuberboy Ummmmm, this two step existed before that crap. You don't truly dance with someone doing that. That would be self glorified dancing. Performance dancing more appropriately.

[@mamboleando]

country dance ???he need 2 learn

[@jasonb2521]

It is really so stupid

[@michaelgenova5007]

Great video , do you have a country swing version basic like this ?

[@stevenotero2331]
