Where Can I Learn to Two-Step in Austin, Texas?

(Spoiler: You’re in the Right Place.)

If you're wondering where to learn how to two-step in Austin, Texas, you're not alone. Whether you’ve just arrived in town or finally decided to take the plunge after too many nights toe-tapping on the sidelines, this guide will point you straight to the heart of Austin’s honky-tonk two-step scene.

From beginner-friendly group classes to private lessons and parties, here’s everything you need to know about learning to two-step in the Live Music Capital of the World.

What Is Honky-Tonk Two-Step, Anyway?

Honky-Tonk Two-Step is Austin’s signature social dance—a flavorful blend of traditional two-step and swing, with a relaxed vibe, bouncy rhythm, and just enough sass to keep things interesting. It can travel or stay in place depending on the crowd and the band. This isn’t stiff ballroom dancing—it’s built for bars, bands, and good times.

If you're picturing neon signs, shuffling boots, and a live band you can feel in your chest—you’re in the right headspace.
