I've finished my 2-step, and it is fine. Now, I'm looking at other styles that might produce some decent music. My new collection of "typical" ice dance music, it truly horrible. No excuse in music this trite and uninspiring. I came across Julian Breams recording of Dowland. That is beautiful. Most of the pieces are about 1:30. Is there an ice dance that fits this period ? Are there ice dancing moves that fit this music? Or am I on my own again?

Why don't you see if you can find a diagram for the Hickory Hoedown (USFS Bronze level dance)?
Probably the closest thing to a 2-step in the USFS test structure. Think "Grandma's Feather Bed" for the appropriate tempo, and when doing the steps correctly, you should be using the full length and breadth of the rink. I'd post the steps/counts, but don't have rulebook handy and can only remember the lady's steps.

I have it. I haven't listened to the music for it yet. Sounds like it could be a barn dance rather than a 2-step. Fine with me. I can "flat foot" like a country fool. I think my goal in ice dancing will be to adapt cultural styles to what I know, and do it to the right music. I almost like the music for RBlues.
