Austin Family Reunion Two-Step Lessons
Your family reunion has 30 people, 4 generations, and approximately zero activities that work for everyone. A two-step lesson works for everyone. Grandparents, grandkids, teens, toddlers (kind of), introverted cousins, extroverted uncles - the whole family ends up on the dance floor together.
Why two-step for family reunions
Most family reunion activities split people by age or energy level. Two-step does the opposite - it puts generations on the same floor, dancing with each other, instead of sitting at separate tables. Kids pick it up fastest. Teenagers stop being mortified by about minute 15. Grandparents often surprise everyone with moves they haven't used in 40 years.
And the best part: nobody has to be good at it. The group lesson structure means everyone learns together. Nobody's performing. Nobody's getting judged. The whole family gets a shared moment they'll talk about for years.
How it works
Group size
Family reunions range from 15 to 150. We've taught intimate groups and giant multi-state family gatherings. Larger groups get multiple instructors so everyone gets hands-on help.
Age range
Kids 6+ participate fully. Kids under 6 we let them hang out and watch or do their own thing. Adults 90+ - yes, we've done that, and they were great.
Venue
We come to you. Rented ranch houses outside Austin, large Airbnbs, hotel event spaces, private homes with big living rooms, city park pavilions. Ideal floor: hardwood, concrete, or tile (anything that isn't carpet). We bring the music system.
Duration
60 minutes is ideal for families. Long enough to actually learn the dance, short enough that the younger kids don't completely lose interest.
A typical family reunion lesson
- 10 min — Introduction, warm-up, frame and count
- 20 min — Basic two-step with rotating partners (so everyone dances with everyone)
- 15 min — A fun spin or turn that looks impressive and is easier than it looks
- 15 min — Free dance party with a playlist we bring

What to expect
The magic of family reunion lessons is almost never the dancing itself - it's the moments around it. The uncle who hasn't danced since 1987. The cousins meeting for the first time. The 10-year-old who realizes Grandma is actually hilarious. The grown adult children finally seeing their parents let loose.
If you want the whole family to have something to talk about besides politics, book a dance lesson.
