Howdy Partner, How Many Numbers Does it Take to Texas Two-Step?
Hold onto your hats, because this might just be the most existential question you ask yourself all week (after pondering why the kolaches are always gone by lunchtime, that is). How many numbers does it take to do the Texas Two-Step?
Well now, that depends on how you're countin'. There's the classic one-two step, the bread and butter of any beginner. Simple as pie ( pecan pie, of course). One, two, step together. One, two, step together. Easy as remembering to put your boots on the right feet (well, most of the time).
But hold on to your Stetson, because here's where things get fancy. You ever seen some of those championship two-steppers? They're out there with the shuffles, the turns, the head fakes that would make a Longhorn dizzy. Why, those folks must be doing geometry on the dance floor with all those intricate steps! There's gotta be a whole mess of numbers involved to keep track of all that footwork.
Don't forget the most important number, though: Smiles per square inch! A true Texas Two-Step is all about having a good time, and if you ain't grinnin' from ear to ear by the end of the song, well then you done messed up somewhere. So grab your partner, put on your best bootscootin' boogie face, and don't worry about counting too high.
Bonus Round: Counting in Texas
Now if you're really lookin' to get fancy with your number countin', here's a little Texas Two-Step fun fact. In Texas, we like to do things a little different. We got our own way of counting cattle, you see. One, two, three, four, five, six... wait a second, what happened to four? Well, in some parts of Texas, they use "four" as a bad luck word and skip right over it. So there you have it, folks. You can even add a little Texan flair to your number counting while you two-step the night away.
