Advanced class at Sam's Town Point.

Austin has a large country music social dancing community. In this city you can go two-stepping any night of the week. The quality of the bands and musicianship everywhere is incredible. Vanessa (Double or Nothing Two-Step) works to bring folks up to speed on the footwork and moves that the dancers at our local honky-tonks are doing and also to keep everyone in the community in-the-know about who is playing where every night via her daily "Where to Two-Step Austin!" social media posts. Those two activities combine to form an on-ramp for anyone looking to experience this city's rich musical legacy through dance and to meet all of the cool locals keeping the "old Austin" flame alive. Vanessa (currently) teaches multiple two-step classes every week between Sam's Town Point and Donn's Depot and she also periodically organizes a "Boot Camp" which is a bigger and longer weekend event for sharing tips and moves and trying new things. Over the past few years I've gotten more and more into country music and felt bad that I didn't understand the dances I saw people doing around town. So I started attending Vanessa's classes in September of '23 and kept showing up for intermediate and advanced classes at Sam's Town Point. The classes are always followed by a live band which gives you the opportunity to practice what you've learned. And you'll meet tons of other people learning to two-step who you will then keep bumping into, and dancing with, at different honky-tonks around town. It's intimidating learning to lead in a community full of graceful and seasoned dancers but it helps immensely when you know some of the faces in the crowd from attending Double or Nothing classes. Vanessa also offers group, corporate, and private lessons. If you're part of a squad just visiting town and looking to pick up some genuine Austin vibes, there's little better than learning to two-step at a place like Sam's, Donn's, or Sagebrush. And, as a mobile DJ, I wish that more event planners (and brides!) would hire dance instructors to give a group lesson before the open dance floor portions of events because country music is so much more enjoyable to listen to when you know how to move to it. And the local flavor of country music here in Austin is very vintage, pulling from rock & roll, soul, honky-tonk, outlaw, and Texas swing traditions. So it's very intentionally made to be danced to! All of the regular dancers at the honky-tonks in Austin know and respect Vanessa because of the services she provides to the community through teaching dance and telling everyone where the best two-stepping parties are going to be taking place every night of the week. I don't think any other two-step dance instructors have earned such a bounty of good will. And that's why you should hire Double or Nothing to teach you how to country dance in Austin. And also be sure to follow their social media accounts and drop into the classes.
