Two Step Beginner Class- Things you need to know.
Get these down!
There are only 2 Spins in any dance in the world, Left and Right. Be better at leading and following them and you’ll have more fun and open up opportunities for much cooler patterns.
Oh, BTW, did you hear me say to frickin’ move the lady over on the 2nd Slow?!?!?!?
Basic Half Turn to Backwards
Cross Body Lead with Inside Spin (Left) to
Lf to Rt Pat a Cake
Outside Spin (Right) to Closed Position - Zábava
Great info on women's spins and stepping out on the end!
P.S. I am so happy to know that you are aware of the censorship of truth on social media :)
"Move her over on the second slow" is the first a-ha moment I had when learning from Damon. It feels so much smoother and flowy than doing a whole basic in promenade, like other instructors like to teach. Thanks Damon!
You are the BEST! I am a dance teacher in Chelan, WA and I have been teaching based on your instruction. I love how you break down the pieces and put them all together :) Thank you so much.
You’re very welcome. It is my passion in life to share dance with the world. I appreciate your nice words and support.
I’m happy to come in for a workshop weekend for your students and teachers. Contact me if you’re interested in more info. 281-202-5247
super important information. THANKS
Thank you, Donna! Thanks for watching your commenting.
I really need to take more two step classes. Yours look very fun from your class recaps!
Super 👍 ❤
Thank you for watching and commenting!.
Move them over on the second slow!!! ❤❤❤
It's just not that hard. Thanks for watching and commenting, David!
Usually on the first slow I order an Uber to take me around her… it’s just easier.

As always, amazing video and review❤
I kinda wish you would teach more Polka in the Houston community. Most teachers really love teaching TwoStep. OneSteppers are actually dancing to mostly Polka beat songs. Some do it to every type of song, but it’s suppose to be to a Polka beat. That’s why San Antonio DJ’s play 99 percent polkas at the dance halls when playing country, it’s to accommodate the onesteppers.
If someone really wanted to slow down the popularity of OneStep, then educating people on Polka may help.
I feel like teachers enjoy teaching TwoStep far more, with good reason, and Polka gets neglected. This is another reason why OneStep has carried more traction in the last 2-4 years.
Polka has always been here. One Steppers are One Steppers because they’re lazy, period.
They’re not willing or interested in working at learning a real dance. They’re afraid it will expose them as not being very good. There’s plenty of Polka information out they’re not interested.
@@DAmicoDanceHouston I know. It’s just that when you do in-person lessons, it boosts up that particular dance in the Houston community. It’s like you give it a jolt of life when your lessons are going on…You have given the wcs dance an epiPen of adrenaline in the last few months. Wcs popularity has exploded recently due to your in person lessons. It’s crazy. It’s really great to see.
@MrBrut1234 I had a conversation with him just the other day how he needs to do some polka lessons, for the same reasons!
@@robertaxley5781 I hereby challenge you to get 20 30 and under bar dancers to commit to a Polka class and it's on.
@@robertaxley5781 most people believe that teaching 2Step is the answer for stopping OneStep’s popularity. This isn’t the ideal answer. It’s teaching polka… you can’t dance a 2step to most polka songs. It really has to be a polka. But you know what you can dance a polka song to, OneStep. You can also dance onestep to a 2step song(usually not ideal, but technically you can). This is the reason for its popularity as well.
Most people say we need to keep twostep alive. TwoStep isn’t on life support. Polka is. Houston is the last major city in Texas that really has polka, and it’s mostly done by ol’timers. Dallas, San Antonio, Austin are filled with one step. If you stay past 11pm at most dance halls in Houston, you can count in one hand how many people do polka(usually not great either).
Socially; Nclub2, thrip2, cowboy Chacha vital signs are almost gone. Polka will share the same fate if this trend continues. Nobody has enough pull and popularity to save polka other than Damon.
I personally don’t like polka(it might have to do with my laziness 🤭😂😅), but I also don’t want EVERYTHING to turn into nothing but OneStep. It’s nice to see some variety. I also know of a lot of girls who actually really enjoy polka.
Now “Country Swing”, that needs to be put down lol… I hate how UCWDC encourages that nonsense in events. UCWDC is only doing it as a very lazy way to help promote young dancers to join the community. That needs to stop. Instead of the organization trying to actively adapt to the times, they stick to their old ways(old moves, old outfits, old music, old everything) and let country swing lessons happen. It’s awful. ***(edited)I was watching some recent country swing contest videos. It was done by two advance wcs dancers. It actually looks good. It was basically a freestyle, stepping whenever the beat is and also hitting the big moments. That, I can get behind. I guess it’s a lot of the things of how it is taught that it’s just not how I would go about it.
Only censoring the truth. You crack me up man.
Yeah! Damon is known for speaking the truth!
