DANCE STEPS IN 2/4 TIME SIGNATURE

Dancing is easy if you know the step pattern and the rhythmic
pattern of each dance step in a given time signature.

The time signature, also known as meter signature, of a piece of


music defines how the beat is organized by prescribing how many
beats occur per measure and what kind of note designates one beat.

Each beat is counted sequentially.
