do the women and the men start off with the left foot? With the Kansas City 2 step the men start off with the left and the women with their right foot.

@TheRed1955 what you say about about the KC 2-step is the "normal" dance convention of mirrored partner dances. The only dance I have done that does not follow it is Argentine tango and Chicago-style stepping. Stepping in Chicago is generally taught Left for follower & right for leader. But, if you dance the way it is shown it will not make a difference! I learned a mirrored stepping originally using conventional starting foot. But, somehow it changed in Chicago. Why???

TAKING MY FIRST CLASS IN PEORIA - I MAINLY DO SALSA, MERENGUE & BACHATA. TRIED IT AT THE ST LOUIS SALSA CONGRESS.

@salsadj1 Small world: You may have met a Latin/mambo/salsa DJ from Chicago El Caobo [Earl Hall]. I go to his Latin dance set on the south side in Chicago. I've been doing or trying bachata, salsa, merengue & Argentine tango off & on for for a few years now. Adding stepping to your dance vocabulary should not be too tough. Dominican style bachata should be plus in learning stepping although swing experience is more helpful. It is just easier learn another partner dance when you do one already.

Alot of instructors seem to just showoff all these "complex" moves to their students. You're one of the only ones to break it down this simply. This clip deserves the 'Bout Time' Award for finally showin how it happens!

step was invented so people with no instrumental or dance talent can feel like they do in fact have some sort of talent.
