Nightclub Two Step

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Nightclub Two Step (Nightclub Two-step, NC2S) was initially developed by Buddy Schwimmer in the mid-1960s.

It is frequently danced to mid-tempo ballads in 4/4 time. Some think it has evolved to include elements from other dances such as Rumba and New York Hustle.

The Nightclub Two Step basic step takes eight beats. Typically it's danced in American-style dance position with a more relaxed hold than typical ballroom dances. The leader rocks back on his left foot, the follower on her right, for one beat. Then both partners replace weight on the second part of the first beat. On the next beat, the leader takes a step to the left and the follower to the right. Then both partners repeat, but on opposite feet (the man rocks back on his right foot and moves to the right).

The "official" rhythm for the basic step is quick-quick slow, although some prefer to start on the slow, usually on beat two of the music. Other rhythms for Nightclub Two Step rhythms are also possible. Beginners should realize that the quick-quick slow rhythm is just one possibility. Also, you don't have to keep that rhythm going continuously. Several slow steps in succession are often effective to evoke the romantic feeling associated with nightclub dancing.

Cha Cha



The cha cha is similar to rumba and to mambo. The difference is that the “slow” step of the rumba and the mambo is replaced with a triple step.

The step timing is counted 1,2,3, 4&,. Several steps would be counted:1,2,3, 4&1, 2,3, 4&1, 2,3, 4&1,2, 3. The cha cha may also be counted using quicks and slows. The count using quicks and slows would be: Slow, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, slow, quick, quick. Notice that five steps are taken to four beats of music. The dance may also be counted: One, two, three, cha cha cha, two, three, cha cha cha.

In the music, the heavy beat is the one beat, the first beat of the measure. Cha cha music is written in 4/4 time, with four beats to each measure. The music tempo is 110 to 130 beats per minute.

All steps should be taken to the inside edge of the ball of the foot. As with all Latin dances, the footwork is ball-flat, ball-flat for all steps. Cuban motion is an essential element of the dance. Cuban motion, especially the hip action, comes mainly from the alternate bending and straightening of the knees.

Typical figures of the cha cha include crossover breaks (also called New Yorkers), spot turns, the cross-body lead, fifth position breaks, and the back spot turn also called the natural top. Notice that these same figures are used in mambo and in rumba.

West Coast Swing (Sugar push)


The most frequently performed step of west coast swing is the sugar push. It is a 6-count sequence for which there are two common footworks, and here's one of them:
Walk Walk, Tri - Ple - Step, Tri - Ple - Step
If you are new to dancing or are unfamiliar with "walk walk tri-ple step tri-ple step" or "6-count", first click here to go to the bottom of this page for an explanation of steps and counts. Otherwise, let's continue.
No matter where the gent and lady go (just walking, walking and turning, double-turning, etc.), in a standard 6 count sequence, they do walk walk, tri-ple-step, tri-ple-step. It's like a drummer repeating a rhythm over and over, only here the rhythm is kept with the feet.
The gent starts with his left foot and the lady starts with her right foot.
The woman knows to move forward towards the man because the man pulls slightly on her hand as he steps back on the 1st count. This is called "the lead". The lead should not be rough, it is a signal to the lady -- "this way please". In west coast swing, as in nearly all partner dancing, the man is the leader and the lady is the follower. .

Coaster Step used instead of Anchor Step

The Coaster Step used at the end of a pattern in place of the Anchor Step in West Coast Swing was originally a styling variation for followers, practiced by an influential dancer at the Long Beach Arthur Murray dance studio, and from there was institutionalized in the official syllabus. However, this was done through a considerable simplification. While the original variation involved angling the body, thereby maintaining the connection with the leader, the current coaster step is done inline with the follower doing back-together-forward at the end of every pattern. This causes the follower to come forward, regardless any indication of the leader to do so. This violates the notion of "true" WCS that the follower's motion is completely led. Also, this often destroys the leverage connection of the couple and thus makes it impossible for a leader to lead into certain patterns or to extend a pattern with additional counts if the music so dictates.
