Country 2-Step

(1) A dance that is composed primarily of  "6-Beat" patterns which travel Line of Dance around the floor. The RHYTHM PATTERN is "Double, Single, Single” and, unfortunately, the most popular "CALL"  (in 2007) is still "Quick-Quick - Slow --Slow.”  

(2) Country Two Step is part of the Foxtrot "family" but is distinguished by the constant changing of the Lady's position as she is moved from "Closed" to  "Cuddle" to "Sweetheart" to "Promenade" and back to Closed position, while she and her partner continue to travel Line of Dance.  Underarm Turns and Spins further characterize the dance.
