That’s the way I learned it back in the early 80’s - step-together, step, step - but we didn’t pick our feet up, we glided; nothing lthe feeling of gliding across a dance-powdered wood floor! That’s why they called it boot scooting’, not boot marching 😉😁😌

But you appear to be doing it to a country song, so I’m confused

Yikes! This is a European style polka. It’s not supposed to be country western polka, right, aka triple step, country shuffle, et al?

Good God, y’all. The double 2-Step or a Triple are much more common and much less “ballroom-y” looking. Yikes!

Newbie Introduction. Not new to dancing, but to the app and this group; and I have LOTS of questions: is there an FAQ section anywhere? And regarding the community forum, are there subgroups, so that can only focus on CW couple dancing and not have to wade through the myriad of other, irrelevant-to-me styles!

Oh, and I’m “Jumpsuit” Jamey Hall, from Fayetteville, AR., and have been dancing and teaching traditional Texas 2-Step for 40 years. Thanks!

Texas 2- Step. But really, all the styles of CW couple dancing from the 80’s: 2-Step, Triple Step, and Waltz, plus specialty dances, The cotton-Eyed Joe and the Texas Schottische (if that includes the 2nd of the two parts, the triple step/shuffle break, as in the CEJ).
