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 now host a Friday night 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).

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.
