The nightclub two-step, apparently? I'm not sure what that is, really. It's easier than the tango, though, so that's a good thing (as I said in my reply to Kris above, I took tango lessons at Yale and I was very, very bad at it). I really liked doing waltz, but the song Jim and I picked out for the wedding is too fast and apparently completely the wrong beat for waltz, so two-step it is. Not that either one of us can hear the beat, anyway... Man. We are seriously not cut out to be dancers.
We went to a group lesson and a party on Saturday. The lesson was bacchata. We were pretty bad at that, too. Still, it was cool to watch the really good people dancing, and it's always interesting to try out new steps and see just how difficult it is to pick them up... Especially since we've been watching Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance. Our lessons give us a new appreciation for how quickly the people on the show are expected to pick up the new styles and then look good doing them.
We signed up for a 20-lesson series! So we have 20 hours of private instruction coming up over the course of the next few months. Hopefully we'll get to the point where we're not an embarrassment. :-D
