Your videos are excellent. I'm curious about this series of moves and if there is a prep involved to give the lady a signal that indicates what or something is coming?

@countrydancex 4 жыл бұрын

Thanks for being here! There's always a prep for everything. To prep just means to prepare. Anytime there's motion, energy has to be stored and released to create that motion. Want to turn left? Store energy to the right. Want to move forward? Store energy backwards. "Signal" is not a word we would use when discussing lead/follow. We wouldn't need to "indicate" that something is going to happen as much as we would assure that something "Can" happen. Prep is how we make sure.

@countrydancex 4 жыл бұрын

Hi there. Thanks for joining us and welcome to partner dancing! We don't have a video on that specific topic, but let us do our best to answer here... Two Step has a down beat and an up beat. The down beat (typically a bass drum) is on the odd counts, while the up beat (snare drum) is on the even counts. You can start on any down beat. It will kind of sound like "boom, tick, boom, tick". Step right on top of the "boom" and you're good to go! Hope this helps :-)

What can I do as lead if I move us into promenade and she's starting with left instead of right?

@countrydancex 5 жыл бұрын

Hi there. That is a common one for new dancers. If we were there in person, we would likely address why she is getting on the wrong foot rather than trying to figure out what to do once she is. I would pay attention to either the lead that is taking her into promenade, the timing of switching to promenade... or trying to keep each one of her steps moving down the line of dance rather than bringing the feet together when switching to promenade (that’s really common).

Hmm, in Texas what you described in the video is more of a shuffle step. Two step in Texas usually describes quick, quick, slow aka left, left, right, with progression in a circle around the dance floor. At least that’s how it is in Western, Central, and North Texas.

@countrydancex 2 жыл бұрын

Yeah, some people in Texas do some pretty weird stuff. Two Step as we dance it is actually the standard from one side of Texas to the other. Has been for decades. But, there are some people who kinda do their own thing. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/aLSAl7KC3tenm5c.html
