Seyer interviews the creator of NIghtclub Two step, , Buddy Schwimmer.
Salsa uses some moves
very similar to Nighclub two step. You can use all the moves you learn
in this NC2S video with salsa, however, you need to add a few things when
dancing salsa -- for example, use Cuban hip motion and add a back and
forth basic. For your dancing pleasure, we have a comprehensive series
of salsa instructional videos,

Live in the Sacramento area? Then you can enjoy a fun salsa lesson and

(NOTE: Ballroom American tango and "International tango" do
not work well with NC2S music.)

How to Dance
Nightclub Two Step
You can order an inexpensive video from Amazon
on beginning nightclub two step by clicking on the link below. I've personally
reviewed this video and think it is quite well done. It covers a lot of
material. Note that they teach you to start dancing with a slow slide
step, going against the admonitions of the creator of this dance, Buddy
Schwimmer. However, starting with a slow side step is really OK as long as you step in time to the music.
Nightclub two step--not to be confused with country twostep--is
a slow, romantic dance. Master instructors Robert Royston and Laureen
Baldovi teach the dance from the ground up. First they teach the rhythm
and basic step to music, their backs to you so you can follow easily.
Then they show you how to do that move with a partner, then they add additional
basic moves like the side-cross-side traveling step and some simple turns
and open breaks.
During later segments, they get progressively more complicated
and teach a variety of graceful, intermediate moves, including new turns,
open breaks, and crossovers.
Dance champions Royston and Baldovi, dressed more casually here than in
their other videos ("Spin her 'til the floor smokes" T-shirts
instead of costumes), are excellent instructors.
They clearly explain and demonstrate moves, technique, and
style so that beginners feel comfortable and capable. Their frequent joking
could get old when you've watched the tape more than once, but their instruction
is so solid that you'll forgive them.
As in their other videos, they do not have nightclub two
practice sessions to music until the end (except for the beginning rhythm
practice), so beginners who never get to the intermediate steps do not
have the opportunity to practice their routine to music while watching
the instructors. Other than that, this is a well thought-out, well-instructed,
and well-produced video for beginning dancers. --Joan Price
From the Back Cover -- Nightclub Two step video
World Champions Robert Royston and Laureen Baldovi take you step by step
in mastering the Night Club 2-Step. Created for small or crowded dance floors
it allows you to two-step when dance floor space is limited.
Argentine tango is a far cry from Nightclub
Two step!. But strangely enough, the Argentine tango dance style works
well with Nightclub Two step music!. For a change of pace when the DJ
puts on nightclub two step, try Argentine
tango! Ocho's look especially nice. For more information, see
Phil's free lesson on Argentine tango or
see our tango videos.
