n contrast to such dances as west coast swing, cha cha, and waltz, for which great music is readily available, two step is a dance for which the number of suitable songs is somewhat limited. The most important qualities of an ideal two step song are a rhythmically pronounced offbeat and a tempo within the 160-200 bpm range. The songs included in the following list will almost always trigger a rush for the dancefloor.
