Our Approach to Two Step (Styling)

As dance instructors, we're often asked to describe our approach to the Two Step. One theme that we emphasize is the idea that we need to be in control of our bodies on the dance floor. This applies to all of the dances that we teach, but especially to the Two Step. It's not our partner's responsibility to make sure we don't fall down on a certain spin or turn; it's our own job to maintain balance. It's also our responsibility not to throw off the balance of our partner, which is often what happens when we're not balanced ourselves. When each partner has taken the responsibility of balancing him or herself, then they can begin navigating the dance floor as a couple, working together and accomplishing dance combinations neither one could have done alone. There must be a Country Western song in that explanation somewhere!
