Two beats of pure swagger that built dancehalls, line dances, and a thousand wedding receptions.
means A simple dance done in a rhythmic two-beat pattern, also used loosely for any straightforward back-and-forth move or maneuver.
from Plainly built from 'two' plus 'step' — naming the dance by its basic count, the way 'one-step' and 'three-step' did for their cousins. 'Two' descends from Old English 'twā,' part of an ancient family of number words (Latin 'duo,' Greek 'dyo'), while 'step' comes from Old English 'steppan,' to tread. The dance name took hold in the 19th century as ballroom and social dances were christened by their footwork, and it later galloped off into country and Tejano music, where the 'Texas two-step' made it a regional institution.
