About Walter & Judy Schultz
Walter and Judy started the Two Step Tidewater Virginia group (No membership or
dues EVER) when 4 couples, who were cross-over ballroom and C&W dancers wanted a
place to dance - other than the smoke-filled night clubs with a tiny dance
floor overflowing with drunks and/or line dancers. They rented a small
dance studio in Virginia Beach, which was closed (and cheap) on Sunday Nights.
When they hit over 90 dancers
on the dance floor on Sunday evenings, they were forced to move. They have
since moved to a larger studio, with more air
conditioning capacity, at DanceSportVA dance studio. They host a social dance each week where
couples can dance to Latin (Cha Cha, Rumba, Bolero, Samba, Meringues), Ballroom
(Waltz, Foxtrot Quickstep), Swing (East Coast Swing and West Coast Swing and
Disco Hustle) and Country-Western music (Cowboy Cha, Two Step, Barn Dance,
Night-club Two Step, Cowboy Waltz, Country Polka). ~~ About
"DanceSportVA" - This studio is located in Virginia Beach, VA on Arrowhead Drive between Princess
Anne and Newtown Rd. From the Expressway take an exit onto Newtown Road South,
turn left on Princess Anne then Right onto Arrowhead just past Big Al's muffler.
The parking lot is not large but there are plenty of nearby business with
parking room at night and on Fridays.

smoke-filled rooms, or put up with the typical bar room environment.
Just good, clean fun with C&W dancing, Ballroom Dancing, and willing dancing partners.
Walter and Judy Schultz, our hosts, are NOT professionals, they are just great dancers who
wanted to do something for the C&W couple dance scene in Tidewater VA, by
creating an atmosphere where C&W, Ballroom, Swing-dancers, West Coast Swing dancers, and
even Shag Dancers could get together and enjoy a great mix of dancing fun.

like when full of dancers).
The Va. Beach studio has a great Maple wood dance floor that is never too fast
or slow. The studio is clean and comfortable with good acoustics and a smoke
free ballroom. The dancers who attend
are friendly and try to make newcomers welcome. We provide some nice snacks,
munchies and drink FREE. We also
put out some chips & dip, cookies, sodas and a bowl of lemonade. We try to use only popular
music and rotate the play list each week. As amateur dancers Judy and I do our
best to make everyone comfortable and enjoy the night out.
The Two Step Tidewater Dance, Located in beautiful Virginia Beach is a healthy, kid-friendly dancing environment for dancing kids. In Country and Western dancing, many young people start dancing in their pre-teen or teen years. Several of our dancers bring their children to the Two Step Tidewater Virginia events to dance. (To dance, we DON'T do babysitting.) It is virtually impossible to find an environment which is conducive to introducing your youthful dancers to dancing in a social environment. At Two Step Tidewater Virginia, kids get asked to dance, as often as the adults.
