DANCE TIP
Dancing Nightclub 2-Step:
When doing the rock-step part
of the dance,
DO NOT hook one foot
behind the other.
STEP STRAIGHT BACK while
keeping your shoulders still and parallel to your partner's.
Your legs, knees, feet should be moving, not your whole body bouncing all over the place.
- Jason Barnes,
Champion Dance Instructor
