Hey Welcome to THE RANCH Saloon! What we're going to do is we're going to show you the basic two-step, hand positioning and foot work. Are you ready to go Sandy? Here we go. First of all the man just places his hand out, the woman places her right hand on top, her left hand is just below the shoulder and the man's right hand is just on the small of the woman's back. That hand is used for pushing and pulling and letting her know that it's time to go. So the basic two step is done at a quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, the woman starts off with her right, the man with her left. Are we ready to go? What we're going to do is we're going to dance in place and then we're going to go. Set. Quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow.

In the last video, we showed you the basic two-step, in this video we're going to show you the basic two-step with a basic two-step turn. The positioning is exactly the same, so let's go ahead and show them, Sandy. Man's left hand, woman's right hand, her left hand on his right arm, and the man's right hand on her lower back. And basically what we're going to do is on the basic two-step turn with a quick, quick, slow, slow, the man is going to move his hand on the first slow. On the quick, quick, slow, slow, he moves it to here, and on the first quick she turns around with assistance of my right hand to get her around. So let's try that again. Quick, quick, slow, slow, quick, quick, slow, slow. So there you go that is the basic turn. So what we're going to do now is were going to show you as we go around on the floor, we're going to do it a couple of times. Are we ready to go? Here we go.

THE RANCH Saloon gives country music and dancing a place to call home in Orange County! To ensure that our venue continues to be enjoyed by all our guests, we ask that certain standards of dress and etiquette be maintained.
View a word on Dance Floor Etiquette from Owner Andrew Edwards
Nightclub or country attire is considered appropriate for all. The following outlines the dress restrictions for both male and female guests while in the Saloon:
We are a Country Music Dance Venue, therefore we feature country western style dancing such as Two Stepping, West Coast Swing, and Line Dancing. THE RANCH Saloon has a managed dance floor. Provocative and out of control dancing is not condoned and you may be asked to leave the dance floor. Freestyle dancing is only allowed when called by the DJ or band.
We are a non-smoking, non e-cigarette and non chewing tobacco environment
Ask about our designated smoking area
THE RANCH management has been asked to provide any further guidance as deemed necessary and to bring to the attention of guests any departure from these standards.
