Two Step Nightclub
The Nightclub Two Step is a partner dance from the USA that is not part of the world dance program . However, it is taught in many dance schools in Germany. The dance was invented in 1965 by Buddy Schwimmer, then 15 years old. The flowing movements are characteristic of today's nightclub Two Step. The Nightclub Two Step is danced to music in 4/4 time. It follows the swing and hustle technique. His figures are similar to the rumba , samba and salsa figures.
The Nightclub Two Step should not be confused with the Two Step .
Basic step sequence
The man initially walks backwards with his left foot, but does not put all the weight on it, but rather lifts his right foot slightly. Then take a side step to the left with your left foot. Now step backwards with your right foot, the left foot lifts itself in place. It ends with a sideways step to the right.
The woman initially walks backwards with her right foot, but does not put all the weight on it, but lifts her left foot slightly. Then take a side step to the right with your right foot. Now step backwards with your left foot, the right foot lifts itself in place. It ends with a sideways step to the left.
The emphasis is always on the side step, which is danced twice as long as the back step (rhythm: quick, quick, slow).
