What to Expect: No Partner or Experience Needed
“I have two left feet and no partner—can I still learn?”
Absolutely. Over 50% of our new students start without a dance partner and zero prior dance experience.
- Single Dancers Welcome: During group classes, we rotate partners frequently so everyone gets equal floor time. If taking private lessons, your instructor serves as your professional partner, leading or following you through every step.
- Zero Judgment, Total Encouragement: Our studio atmosphere is built on warm Texan hospitality. Mistakes are just part of the fun as you build muscle memory.
- Wear What Makes You Comfortable: While leather-soled cowboy boots are popular for social country dancing, regular dress shoes or leather-soled sneakers work great for beginner lessons.
Why Students Love Us
At Dance With Me, dancing is more than steps—it’s confidence, connection, and self-expression. Whether you’re seeking stress relief, increased energy, or a vibrant community, our ballroom dance studio in Fort Worth helps you reconnect with yourself through movement.
I signed up for dance as a surprise to my daughter, but realized quickly this was too good to keep under wraps. I started bringing her along and we created lifelong memories from the time together.
The Dance With Me student body and additional staff are so supportive of each other. Even when it took me slowing steps to crawls and counting way past the 8 count for things to make sense to me, it was always a safe space, each and every visit with us leaving, feeling encouraged to take on the world.
Google won’t let me link a video, but I’ve sent one of our wedding dance to Shely and hope you will give them a try and be encouraged when you see what we did.
Katelyn and I thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for being such a pivotal part of her most important day. We love you!
The environment they’ve created is something really special. It’s challenging in the best way, encouraging, uplifting, and filled with people who genuinely want to see you succeed. I feel so lucky to learn from these professionals every single day and to be surrounded by such an amazing community.
I truly could not recommend Dance With Me more. It has brought so much joy, confidence, growth, and friendship into my life, and I’m endlessly grateful for this studio and everyone in it!

Frequently Asked Questions About Two-Step Lessons in Fort Worth
How much do country dance lessons cost in Fort Worth?
At Dance With Me, you can start with a $49 Intro Special for your first class.
What shoes should I wear for Texas Two-Step dance lessons?
We recommend leather-soled cowboy boots or smooth-soled dress shoes. Avoid rubber-soled sneakers or flip-flops, as rubber grips the hardwood floor and makes turns difficult on your knees and ankles.
How many lessons does it take to learn the Two-Step?
Most beginners master the basic step, timing, and simple turns within 2 to 4 lessons. If you want to feel completely natural executing spin combinations and navigating crowded honky-tonks like Billy Bob’s Texas, a structured package of 6 to 10 lessons is recommended.
Do I need a partner for Texas Two-Step lessons in Fort Worth?
No partner is required! We rotate partners during group country dance classes so all participants practice with different leads and follows. If you prefer to dance exclusively with your partner, simply let your instructor know before class starts.
Where is your Fort Worth dance studio located?
Our studio is conveniently located in Tarrant County at 5259 Marathon Avenue, Fort Worth, TX 76107, easily accessible from the Fort Worth Cultural District, West 7th, Downtown, and the Stockyards.
What is the difference between Texas Two-Step and Country Swing?
The Texas Two-Step moves progressively around the dance floor in a continuous counter-clockwise direction using a “Quick, Quick, Slow, Slow” rhythm. Country Swing is a stationary (spot) dance focused heavily on upper-body leverage, turns, and arm patterns within a single area.
Where can I practice Two-Step in the Fort Worth Stockyards?
The best places to practice the Texas Two-Step in the Fort Worth Stockyards are Billy Bob’s Texas (featuring a massive 5,500-sq-ft hardwood floor) and the historic White Elephant Saloon on Exchange Avenue. Both legendary venues feature daily live country music and authentic wooden dance floors built for continuous counter-clockwise progressive dancing.
Pro Tip: Before stepping onto the floor in Cowtown, take a private warm-up lesson at Dance With Me Fort Worth—located just 15 minutes south of the Stockyards at Clearfork—to master floor etiquette and turn control.
What is the difference between Texas Two-Step and Country Western Two-Step?
There is no technical difference between the Texas Two-Step and the Country Western Two-Step—they are two terms for the exact same progressive partner dance. “Texas Two-Step” is the regional name born in local Texas honky-tonks, while “Country Western Two-Step” is the formal name used by national dance organizations (such as the UCWDC) and professional dance studios.
