In just 1.5 hours Noe broke down the basics and slowly added patterns until we left feeling like we looked like we knew what we were doing. Thanks Noe!
As someone with two left feet, I was nervous. Noe made me comfortable from day one. After a few sessions I was dancing at local clubs with confidence.
We've followed Noe to his new studio because he's a great teacher and fun to work with. He even accommodates requests outside our usual styles.

Country Two-Step Lessons FAQ
Do I need cowboy boots to learn Two-Step?
Not at all! While boots are traditional, any shoes with a smooth sole work great for learning. We recommend avoiding sneakers since the rubber can catch on the floor.
How is Two-Step different from line dancing?
Two-Step is a partner dance where you travel around the floor counter-clockwise with your partner. Line dancing is done in rows without a partner. Many country venues feature both!
How long until I can dance at a country bar?
After just 2-3 lessons, you'll have the basic step and a few turns down—enough to confidently hit the floor at any honky-tonk. You'll pick up more moves with practice.
Where can I go Two-Step dancing in San Diego?
San Diego has several country venues including Moonshine Flats in the Gaslamp, In Cahoots in Mission Valley, and Moonshine Beach in Pacific Beach. All feature Two-Step nights!
