Country's flashy swing-style dance — lots of dips, spins, and pretzel moves. Originated in USA · 20th c.. Typically danced around 120-160 BPM (medium-fast).
Swing dancing adapted to country music; triple-step patterns; related to West Coast Swing and East Coast Swing.
What to expect: Stays in one spot (unlike Two-Step which travels). More about showy partner tricks than footwork.

Country dance nights mix two-step, country swing, partner country dances, and often line dance choreographies. Many are bar-based, so check the age policy. Boots help but aren't required to start.
Outer lane is for the faster two-steppers; inner lane for cha-cha and swing. Don't stop in the middle of the line of dance. Thank your partner after every song.
