Progressive Two Step

 

 

 

The Two-Step originated in the 1800's by people who arrived here from Europe.  It was an offspring of the minuet and they danced it as QQSS.  In the old Western days when women were not allowed to dance with men, men danced together and that is the reason for the hand on the shoulder holding a can of beer and the other hand to the side.  The only women who eventually danced with these men were Indian Squaws and that is where all the turns came about, because Indian women loved to spin.  Two-Step is a Western dance whose popularity has spread all over the United States.
