Very popular for weddings!

Buddy Schwimmer is the creator of the Rhythmic version and Michael Kim is the creator of the smooth version. Buddy created his version to start with a rock step on beat 1&a and then steps to the side on beat 2 and repeats on the right side. Buddy’s style is created for faster tempo music. Michael created his version to start to the side on 1 and rock on the &a2.

The dance position for nightclub two step is with a more relaxed hold. The lead rocks back on their left foot, the follow on their right, for one beat. "The toe is to the heel, but not further. Don't twist your hip. If your hip opens up, you have gone too far." A gentle but noticeable resistance is maintained during the rock step. Then both partners replace weight on the second part of the first beat. On the next beat, the lead takes a step to the left and the follow to the right. Then both partners repeat, but on opposite feet (the lead rocks back on their right foot and moves to the right).
