Two-step (dance move)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unreferenced for 5 years. Dubious. The vague description exactly matches what is called chasse in ballet-based dancing (or descriptions using ballet language) and triple step in various folk/club/country/ballroom dances -M.Altenmann >t 04:47, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * P.S. No redirect, unless someone suggests reputable references; I found none. -M.Altenmann >t 04:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep It seems easy to find sources such as Folk dancing, "... the American Two-Step craze began around 1890. The Two-Step was a simple dance in 2/4 or 4/4 time that entailed marching chassés steps. The Two-Step flourished ..." Andrew D. (talk) 11:49, 14 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment You are confused. The discussed article in not about one of several Two-step dances. When searching for a word, don't forget about synonyms and actually read the reference and compare with the article in question. (By the way, your ref actually confirms what I wrote: the uneducated article writer described what is normally called "chassés steps".) -M.Altenmann >t 19:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Here's a more accessible source, Creative Dance for All Ages. It seems that it is taught as a standard locomotor move in the curriculum of the National Standards for Physical Education in the USA, along with other standard moves like the grapevine and schottische.

 * What is the relation to Country-western two-step? Drmies (talk) 04:42, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
 * CW2S (and many other dances) can have the kind of step described in the article, but the point is they are not called so; see my initial rationale.  -M.Altenmann >t 19:13, 15 February 2015 (UTC)
