We teach the two-step and the country waltz that was born in the the VFW's, dance halls, and beer joints of Texas and Oklahoma. Our style of dance was made famous at the Cain's Ballroom in Tulsa, Ok and was probably the dance your great grandparents danced on their first date.

We teach the Tulsa two-step. It's a honky-tonk two-step.

Our two-step differs greatly from the Progressive two-step that was INVENTED by Patsy Swayze for the movie "Urban Cowboy."

Our two-step is what was born here in Oklahoma when Western Swing was the king and is still danced every day in our part of the country.

The Tulsa Two-step basic step is a quick-quick-slow-slow. The last slow step is often to right for the lead or to the left for the follow. Oklahomans prior to about 1965 would likely have taken that step to the rear for the lead, or forward for the follow.

Depending on the tempo of the song we will also incorporate a "brush." This is when we lightly touch the foot we are moving to our stationary foot. That basic step is quick-quick-slow-brush-slow-brush. In some parts of the country this is called rhythm two-step, and we use it a lot around here. You'll love it.

We dance in a counter-clockwise circle, unless we are in a small bar on honky-tonk. That side or back step lets us make the most of small and crowded dance floor.

Our dance was born from western swing, so when we turn and embellish our dance we use a rock step like you see in swing dancing.
