We had a GREAT event in Boise on Friday night.  We celebrated the decades with the Boise LDS Institute.  The event was held at a church on Warm Springs and was celebrating the 50 year anniversary of the Boise LDS Institute.  We danced and partied to music from the 50’s, 60’, 70’s, 80’s, 90’s and today.  It was fun to see these BSU students dressed up from every decade.  We especially saw a lot of costumes from the 50’s, 70’s, and 80’s.  As far as music went, the favorite decade by the students was definitely the 90’s!  We LOVE 90’s dance music.  Some of our FAVORITE dance songs from the 90’s are:

-         Ice, Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice
-         Gonna Make You Sweat by C&C Music Factory
-         This is How We Do It by Montell Jordan
-         The Power by Snap
-         Getting’ Jiggy Wit It by Will Smith
-         Unbelievable by EMF
-         U Can’t Touch This by MC Hammer
-         Good Vibrations by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch
-         Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap
-         Sweet Dreams by La Bouche
-         Groove is in the Heart by Dee-Lite

There are so many!! The list could go on and on! What are some of your favorite songs from the 90s?  What about another decade?  We would love to hear about it!  Email us at dj@soundwavemusic.org and let us know.  No matter what decade your favorite music is from, we can play it as we DJ your dance or party!  We had a great time picking our favorite songs from every decade as we celebrated this fun Boise event.

Have you ever wanted to learn the dances that the professionals know? Do you wish you could be one of those people whose dancing everyone admires and applauds? 

In addition to providing DJ music for weddings and parties in the Treasure Valley, Sound Wave Music offers dance lessons too! The type of dance depends on your taste in music and your motivation to learn!

Here are instructions for a simple dance that can be performed to any music with a 4/4 beat. The Two-Step is normally danced to country music but go ahead and be creative! You might be surprised at how easy it is and how much fun you can have. 

Learn to dance the Two-Step

The Country Western Two-Step (also known as the Texas Two-Step or just Two-Step) is normally danced to country music in 4/4 time with a tempo range of 170-200 beats per minute. Beginners should start with a tempo range of 155 to 175 beats per minute.

Here is a list of songs you can dance the Two-Step to:
  • “Past the Point of Rescue” - Hal Ketchum
  • "Small Town Saturday Night" - Hal Ketchum
  • "Mercury Blues" - Alan Jackson
  • "Chattahoochie" - Alan Jackson
  • "Kick Back" - Ty England
  • "Should Have Asked Her Faster" - Ty England
  • "It Wouldn’t Hurt to Have Wings" - Mark Chestnutt
  • "Goin' Through the Big D" - Mark Chestnutt
  • "When the Wrong One Loves You Right" - Wade Hayes
Instructions for dancing the Two-Step

Leader

Step 1: Stand with your feet together facing your partner.
Step 2: Put your right hand on your partner's waist.
Step 3: Put your left hand out to your side with your arm slightly bent.
Step 4: Gently grasp your partner's hand.
Step 5: Wait for the music to start.
Step 6: On the first beat, step forward quickly with your left foot.
Step 7: On the second beat, step forward quickly with your right foot.
Step 8: On the third beat, step forward again with your left foot, but slowly.
Step 9: Pause through the fourth beat.
Step 10: On the fifth beat, step forward slowly with your right foot.
Step 11: Pause through the sixth beat, then pull your left foot even with your right.
Repeat.

Follower

Step 1: Place your left hand on the leader's right shoulder.
Step 2: Bend your right elbow and place the palm of your right hand lightly on his outstretched palm.
Step 3: Do the opposite of what your partner does. Move your right foot back when the leader moves his left foot forward on the first beat.
Step 4: Continue following the directions for the leader, but in reverse - stepping back with your left foot when he steps forward with his right.
Repeat.

HAVE FUN!
