Yes. Ones are "active' and twos are "inactive". We use the language intechangeably. I did not want to add too much "duplicate" terminology in the video as to add to the confusion of new dancers.

Thanks for the comments and input and yes there are several other regional differences.

You all come and dance with us in Atlanta,

Are "ones" and "twos" the same as "active" and "inactive"?
