Thousands of people who swore they couldn't dance now spin around Austin's floors every week. You can learn the same dance from your living room. Start to finish, at your own pace, no pressure.
Two-step is how people in Austin make friends, fall in love, and finally get off the wall and onto the floor at their favorite honky-tonk instead of just watching the band. It looks hard from the outside. It isn't. It's a simple skeleton of a dance, and once you've got it, you can add anything on top.
We've taught thousands of beginners the exact same way, in person at Sagebrush and Donn's Depot and now online from anywhere. You know you're doing it right when it feels good and you're having fun. That's the whole secret.
Everything you need to feel confident on the floor, whether it's your very first two-step or your hundredth twirl around the honky-tonk. Three self-paced courses you can watch on any screen.

I've tried a bunch of different two step classes around town, and Vanessa and her team are the ABSOLUTE BEST!!! They teach in the style that people are actually dancing here in Austin.
Double or Nothing has changed my life. They've created an incredible community alongside the Austin venues and musicians. I don't think there's anything else like it in the world.
Best group classes in Austin, hands-down. One of the major contributors to the revival of two-stepping among young people in town.
She made the dance floor completely accessible, exciting, and not-at-all scary. It's the best way I've ever listened to music, and I'm so glad I'm not wasting any more thoughts on wondering what it's like to be out there dancing!
Their energy and laid-back, approachable teaching style made me feel confident and capable after just three lessons! The vibe is contagious, and they put a fresh, modern spin on classic moves.
This is how people in Austin spend a Tuesday night. It's the dance that turns strangers into friends, fills the bar with people grinning ear to ear, and gets you off the wall and onto the floor. We named it and were the first to teach it as a real curriculum.
It's not about getting it perfect. It's about feeling the music, connecting with another person, and having more fun than you thought a Tuesday could hold.
"I'm honestly considering moving to Austin for the community alone. I wish there was something like this in New York."Elise, student
