"this is the one that'll get you out there.
if you know two-step, you can dance to pretty
much anything. the two-step is broken up into
3 dvds so each one is very thorough... there
is alot of detail for just a "beginner's
video". it will definitely get you out there
and dancing and then some!" S. Preston (NV)

Picture yourself navigating the crowded dance floor at a country-western nightclub. The acceleration in the two-step pattern is exhilarating as you execute the complex turns andspins that are trademarks of a great two-step. If you are the follower, the lights and the faces of your fellow dancers blur, with the For the leader, it is a slightly different story. Your view of the dance floor is much closer to that of a video game; with each step your perspective changes as you advance around the floor, with new obstacles to avoid and your path constantly adjusting to the rapid changes on the dance floor. The leader’s mind is rapidly clicking through the different moves available to him and fitting the best one to the immediate situation, ever mindful of the constant tempo of the two-step and his partner’s placement. As you and your partner master this dance, the realization strikes that for the dancer, the two-step transcends the music - it's an exhilarating challenge in navigation and lead-and-follow dancing that is difficult to match in the genre of social dance. |

visualize the two-stepBefore starting your dance lessons, it’s recommended you take a few minutes to watch the two-step demo above and also the two-step starter pack preview in this section to allow your mind’s eye to start processing ideas on how to get your body to do what you’re watching. Visualizing the two-step will give you a good feel for what you’re about to learn and will make the transition into reality that much easier once you get started with your own two-step DVDs.Also, it'll be best if you watch the first two-step section one time through (once you receive Two-Step for Beginners Volume 1) without trying to do any of it (this section is written for Two-Step for Beginners Volume 1; though there are two-step lessons in Dance Lessons 101, Country Western Dance Sampler, and Hot Country Dancing for Couples, the lessons are not nearly as comprehensive). Just give your mind a chance to absorb the material so it’s somewhat familiar to you when you hit replay to start the section over again. Watch how the dancers move around the dance floor (this one’s not in place, so take note), think about the words that are used, and picture yourself dancing the two-step. The second time you watch it, it’s recommended that you take notes. Jot down the important parts of the two-step so you can engage other parts of the kinesthetic learning  prior to getting
up and dancing along. Write down what the
connection points are, what the basic steps are
called, how many counts are in a basic, how to
align with your partner, and so on. Also, write
down any questions that you might have about
the two-step. There’s a good chance you
will find the answer later on in DVD, and if
it’s something you’re already
pondering, you’ll be sure to remember the
answer.You’ll find that by time you get ready to stand up and try the two-step with the video, the dancing won’t be nearly as overwhelming. Writing down the key concepts will allow you to get a jumpstart on the rest of the basics. You’ll find that after you get up and try it, you’ll probably have more questions. As the video lesson goes on, the steps will be broken out with great detail, pointers will be given on where you should be during different parts of the dance, and frequently asked questions will be addressed that should satisfy most, if not all, of your questions and then some. The third time you view the DVD, go ahead and dance along with it. See how far you can make it just by watching and trying. You’ll probably find that one of the two of you is able to pick up and understand the material quicker than the other. Now, you should be able to visualize yourself dancing the two-step. Then, picture yourself doing the two-step at upcoming events or at local venues where you and your partner can go. Where will you go out dancing after you learn the two-step? Start thinking of the possibilities. Now, if you're ready to look at the two-step DVDs that will get you started, check the images below. After the products, we'll go through some of the basics. This will give you an idea of how the video lessons are taught and to what detail. recommended two-step videos
