Nightclub Two Step Timing
- According to Benji Schwimmer: Two Step timing 1& 2, 3& 4 (QQS QQS) starting with rock step, not stepping to the side. Ron Montez nightclub two step videos also uses this timing.
- Other common timing: SQQ SQQ, starting with stepping to side on S.
* Caveat: both timings are used on this website. But it should be easy to adapt and dance either timing.
Nightclub Two Step Technique- Two Step dance is fluid, flowing, and smooth. Do not do bouncy action.
- Hold is pretty relaxed, more casual, compact compared to Standard or Smooth dances.
- Two Step is more lot "free" for dancers to express yourself and add their embellishment.
- Shaping on two step: In order to get the appropriate sway, keep head level, lead to side with foot, leg, hips, the ribs, then head follows. Head delays and "echoes".
- Traveling direction: Two Step can travel, but does not need to go strictly down Line of Dance, it can go anywhere in the room using different traveling steps.
