Scott This is a 2/4 song counted 1-2,1-2. The steps are half the count. So you would dance to the down beat.

Hi Scott The trouble is I don't know what beat you are using. I just picked a 4/4 country on my G-70 at 151 bpm. This is plenty fast for this song because-yes, they are dancing half speed. I don't want to confuse matters but this is a 4/4 with a 2 beat feel. You would dance one step for every two beats. I would use a 141 4/4 for this song, and they are stepping to half of that. I can't see how you came up with 218 bpm.

Depending on a 2 bt or 4 bt,218 or 109, it is fine and I have heard it at different tempo's through the years. I don't play it quite so fast at senior dances, but either doesn't make it wrong.
Regardless of your choice, the dance steps are 1/2 the 218 or whatever.
You really can't go wrong.

Scott, Depending upon the crowd's age, I would use the Country Two Step at a tempo of 115 to 126. If they're great dancers and relatively active, the 126 tempo works perfect. If they're a bit unsteady at that tempo, something in the range of 115 to 120 seems to be a bit better. The other style that seems to work very well with it is the Country Sing-Along. Use the third intro, "C" variation and first ending--same tempos. For the more active crowd, the "C" Variation seems best, while for a bit more romantic feel, the "A" variation will do the trick. For these particular styles I play my own intro, or just use the #1 intro on the keyboard and go right into the vocals. Hope this helps, Gary
