BEG TEXAS TWOSTEP - Robert  
Prerequisite: None

The Texas Twostep is the most important Country and Western dance. It is easy to learn and fun to use. From George Strait's "Fool Hearted Memory" to Shania Twain's "Holding onto Love", the Twostep is used to a wide variety of C&W music. 

When you live in Houston, Texas, you should get plenty of opportunities where a little knowledge of the Twostep will come in pretty handy. And don't forget the Twostep is a fixture at Rodeo time. Come learn the fundamentals of this famous dance!

 TWOSTEP/POLKA CIRCLE TURNS - Linda
Prerequisite: The Ability to Twostep and Polka ahead of time. 

This is an intermediate course for students who have already had our Beginner Twostep/Polka course. This course covers the tricks behind multiple clockwise and counter clockwise Circle Turns. It is great way to get girls dizzy when you run out of wine. 

 AGGIE JITTERBUG - Paul

Prerequisite: None

There is quite a story behind the Aggie Jitterbug. SSQQ was once threatened with a major lawsuit for attempting to teach this dance by using its correct name.  At this point, we don't think anyone cares any more, but you never know.   Story of Aggie Jitterbug

AJ is a very popular form of Swing Dancing especially useful when your partner does not know regular Swing footwork.

For example, at a Father-Daughter dance, the Dad could lead Aggie Jitterbug with practically any girl there. It would also be very handy on a Cruise for dancing with men or women you have never met in your life.

This dance is especially useful for TOTAL BEGINNERS

 BEG SYNCHRONIZED POLKA - Steve C
Prerequisite: Beg Western Swing

Synchronized Polka is one of the favorite courses in the Crash Course series. Both the man and the woman do the same footwork and dance the same patterns together. The patterns are fun to dance and lovely to see. Assuming you already know how to Polka and have had at least Beg Western Swing, you will really enjoy this course!

 BEG WESTERN WALTZ - Marla
Prerequisite: None

Western Waltz is considered the "Romantic" Western dance. The stakes being what they are, no sensible man should ignore this important dance!  The moves are quite graceful and the music is very pretty.

 

Western Waltz patterns are taken from Ballroom Waltz. Some Waltz patterns travel and others such as the Box Step are danced in one area.  Western Waltz moves include the Ballroom Waltz patterns that automatically "travel" around the floor just as a Twostep or Polka would.  At the party later on expect plenty of Western Waltzes like “You Look So Good in Love” and “Open Arms” to practice to at the dance party.

 ADVANCED HUSTLE - Scott  
Prerequisite: Knowledge of Huslte

Hustle, formerly known as Latin Hustle, is a beautiful Disco Dance first seen during the 70s Disco Era.

This flashy partner dance is a clever combination of Swing footwork and Latin hip motion. The patterns and footwork are actually taken from Swing while hip motion and feel of the dance is more similar to Salsa. You will certainly enjoy this dance which is a unique blend of both dance styles.

Scott Ladell is an extremely talented Hustle instructor. At the request of his students, he will be teaching this class to keep them in the loop.

Please do not sign up for this course unless you KNOW how to Hustle in advance. Gracias.
