Nightclub Two Step (Nightclub Two-step, Disco Two Step or California Two Step) was initially developed by Buddy Schwimmer in the mid-1960s. It is frequently danced to mid-tempo ballads in 4/4 time that have a characteristic Quick-Quick-Slow beat. The Nightclub Two Step basic step can be counted as One & Two - Three & Four. Another pattern in NC2S is the side-cross-side move.
