about

Literally meaning "two walking," the Two-Step also involves partners dancing together within a larger group and reversing directions between songs. The Two-Step, combined with the Skip Dance (see below), accounts for many new compositions. The first song of the two features a terraced descending melody reminiscent of Plains Indian music
