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, which was closed (and cheap) on Sunday Nights.  When we hit over 90 dancers on the dance floor on Sunday evenings, we were forced to move.  We have moved to a larger studio, with more air conditioning capacity, at DanceSportVA dance studio. We 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 VA" - 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 Sundays.

[Interstate Directions to Two Step Tidewater Virginia]  (We are a very quick drive over the Hampton Roads Bridge Tunnel, or from the Peninsula of Hampton Roads VA cities of Newport News VA and Hampton VA.  1 Block East of Newtown Rd. - Off Princess Anne Road.  Turn Just Past Big Al's Muffler)

Best Place in Tidewater Virginia for Smoke Free Fun, C&W Dancing and Willing Dance Partners

This is the only place in the entire Hampton Roads VA area to have fun Country and Western partner dancing without having to fight the line-dancers for space on the dance floor, peer through 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 Shaggers could get together and enjoy a great mix of dancing fun.  Don't be surprised, though, if you get the treat of watching World Champion Dancers - just out having fun with us.  We have several national and world-class competitors who come to our dances for fun-dancing.
