Country Two Step

Two-Step Tuesdays: Country Two Step with Kristen

Dust off your boots and get ready to glide! Country Two Step with Kristen is your weekly ticket to mastering one of the most popular and versatile social dances around. Whether you are prepping for a wedding, planning a night out at the local honky-tonk, or just love country music, this class will have you moving around the floor with confidence.

In this 45-minute session, Kristen breaks down the classic "quick-quick-slow-slow" rhythm that defines the Two Step. Unlike stationary dances, Two Step travels around the room, so you will learn how to navigate the dance floor while maintaining a solid frame and connection with your partner. Kristen’s teaching style is patient and approachable, making sure you nail the basics before adding in the fun stuff.

What you can expect in class:

• The Basics: Master the fundamental footwork and timing so you never miss a beat.

• Partner Connection: Learn the mechanics of leading and following, focusing on frame and tension to make the dance feel smooth.

• Turns & Sweetheart Moves: Spice up your dance with inside turns, outside turns, and classic "pretzel" moves.

• Floorcraft: Learn how to travel along the "line of dance" without bumping into other couples—an essential skill for crowded venues!

You don't need a partner to join—we rotate frequently so everyone gets a chance to dance. Wear comfortable shoes (smooth soles or boots are best for sliding/gliding) and come ready to have a blast.
