I started dancing in Seattle, WA when I moved to the big city for my first job after college.  I lived in some crummy Appartments in the rough side of town which happened to be walking distance to a Country Bar called Bourbon Jacks.  They taught line dancing lessons 3 days a week and I was enamored by it and never missed a lesson. 

3 months in a saw these two girls parnter dancing and asked them to teach me. They said no ☹️. I casually searched across town to looked across town for dance lessons a saw that the local community center was teaching a series of “east coast swing” and “west coast swing”. after taking both and developing a report with the dance instructors I explained what I saw the two girls doing at the country bar and what I was trying to learn. They said what you want to learn is COUNTRY TWO STEP.

They pointed me to learn at the Rockin Horse Dance barn in Renton WA, I would then go take every all there series of Two step lessons “beginner” , “intermediate , “advanced” and devoted myself into figuring out this dance. I loved the Rockin Horse but being 26 at the time the clientele was significantly older with not a person from the community less then 50 years old so I would go back to the country bars. Big Whiskey
