Nightclub 2 Step can be danced to songs that no other ballroom dance fits. It can be danced to many types of music, from country, pop, Latin, and is a very versatile and practical dance to learn.
Nightclub 2 Step is danced to medium tempo music and is characterized by a long side step, followed by a rock step (or break step) and another side step and rock step.
Dance instructors vary in how the Nightclub 2 Step should be started, with either a rock step or a side step. In San Diego, the side step became the most popular form which became the standard in country western competitions. Some dancers prefer to start with a rock step, which has no effect on the dance itself.
It is danced using a slow-quick-quick rhythm or quick-quick-slow.
