Crash Courses 7 - 9 pm

$15 Person, $25 Couple

BEG TWOSTEPDaryl
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 the Twostep is a fixture at Rodeo time. Come learn the fundamentals of this famous dance !

INT TWOSTEP/POLKA CIRCLE TURNS Linda
Prerequisite:  Beg Two-Step/Polka


This is an intermediate course for students who have already have taken our Beginner Twostep/Polka course. Circle Turns are a big part of Western dancing. In fact, there is a similarity to Circle Turns and Tequila drinking challenges. Men learn Circle Turns to make the girls dizzy and weaken their resistance. Women learn to turn well to keep their wits about them and to put men in their proper place. This course covers all the tricks to the multiple clockwise and counter clockwise Circle Turns including Cross Steps, Braces, Spotting, and Cross Body Leads.  
 

BEG WESTERN WALTZ -  Jill
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 PATTERNS - Scott
Prerequisite:  at least a month of Hustle classes

Scott is the master.  Have fun.
 

DIRTY DANCING - Ben
Prerequisite: Couples Only

This "Dirty Dancing" is unquestionably one of the most popular Crash Courses in the history of the studio.

The moves are taken directly from Patrick Swayze's most famous movie. Each pattern would be quite impressive to watch if we could just get everyone to quit laughing so hard!!

Yes, the moves are quite sexy, but everyone has too much fun to take them seriously. Bring a smile and an open mind. You will have a ball!
 

ROMANTIC WESTERN SWING PTNS - Rick 
Prerequisite: some Adv Western Swing

There are many wonderful Western Swing patterns such as Cuddles, Skaters and Sweetheart where the lady is not exactly in the man's arms, but on the other hand you couldn't say they are dancing apart either.

Cuddles, Skaters and Sweetheart are not just cool places to be, there are many WONDERFUL moves!   In particular we will concentrate not only on going back and forth between these positions, but going from the right side to the left side as well.  It will all be so Romantic!
