One dance move a day, written out in counts.

Two-step, quick-quick-slow-slow

Two quick steps and two slow ones while you travel forward. People often say it as 'step-together, walk, walk.'

Tips

Styling
Glide rather than bounce; a smooth floor-skimming walk is the classic look.
Easier
Walk it with no music, saying 'quick, quick, slow, slow' as you go.
The other way
Travel it counterclockwise around the room, the usual direction of travel on a dance floor.

Go at your own pace. Skip any step you'd rather not do.
