Back to the Triple Two

About a year ago I wrote about the triple two step, a country-ish traveling dance. Gary and I worked some moves from it into our foxtrot and then kinda forgot about it, because at the time we were learning a form of vintage foxtrot. We liked the vintage fox trot, but we didn’t love it.

So we took a video of triple two step to our fabulous teacher Melissa and said as we always do, take a look at this video. We want to learn this, and oh yes, we’d like to mix in Texas two step moves and a sprinkling of foxtrot. Without a moment’s hesitation (did I say she was fab) she replied with a twinkle in her eye, so what will we call it? Foxy Triple? Texas Trot? Haha. She SO gets us.

So Melissa looked at the vid (posted below), and has already integrated some Texas two step into it along with some foxtrot moves. The triple two is fun…it’s smooth, with a slight hop while you are tripling.

So far Gary is liking Texas Triple Trot for the name. Hummmmm…sounds like a drink you’d consume at the Kentucky Derby.
