Country Swing is Easy and Fun!
Country Swing, sometimes mistakenly called two step, is our favorite partner dance because it is insanely enjoyable and super simple to learn. It uses a very simple step and incorporates all of the thrilling dance steps that are popular in the other forms of country dance. Our teachers make learning simple and are very patient, ensuring that you will be full of confidence as you move through the dances with your partner, whether that person is your future bride, a friend, a co-worker, or a stranger.
Our dance lessons in Nashville are packed with everything you need to get out on the dance floor tonight or dancing in your kitchen for years to come!
Many folks mistakenly call two step country swing when they are in fact completely separate dances but often incorporated together hence the confusion. We typically recommend learning country swing instead of true ballroom two-step because it is far more versatile and much easier to learn. You don’t need to have any rhythm and you will still look amazing.

The best part about our classes is that there are multiple options. You could opt for a private class, join a multi-week class, or engage in classes with a group of friends or strangers. Dancing is often an avenue to meet new people in Nashville, so don’t worry about joining one of our group classes because everyone else will be just as eager to learn as you!
If we lived here we would probably take regular lessons.
Besides how knowledgeable they are about Country Swing and how great they are as instructors, both create a fun, welcoming, and encouraging atmosphere (and community) for all dancers.
I highly recommend booking a lesson with Turn Their Heads!
