A beginners private introduction to dancing Two-Step at the location of your choice, or a friends ranch, before an optional night out in an Austin Honky-Tonk. This is a customizable service, for singles, couples, groups, bachelorette parties, etc. The smaller the size the more attention I can give to each person. I've been an avid two-stepper since 2017. I was taught by a phenomenal teacher and pass on the wisdom he gave me. This includes the basic footwork, spins and dips. I go beyond that to teach dance etiquette, frame and what makes a good lead or follow. These are tips the large group lessons do not have time to educate on. An hour with me and you will be good to hit the Austin Honky-Tonk scene. I am open to teaching a private lesson before taking you to an authentic honky-tonk. There are options and we can discuss where exactly you prefer. Bonus info: I am actually originally from Great Britain, so you will be learning Texas Two-Step from an English Gentleman.

And because everything is included, you get private coaching, the guns, the ammo and the ride at a fraction of the cost of putting it together yourself.
