MODERN COUNTRY TWO-STEP. BORN IN SOUTH TEXAS.
Texas dance culture didn't start in the honky tonks. It started in dance halls, ranch parties, family weddings, and quinceañeras — Mexican, Tejano, and country traditions woven together over generations. Two-step is part of that lineage. So is polka. So is waltz, cumbia, and tejano.
At Native Texan Two Step, we teach all of it — the way it's meant to be danced. Smooth, connected, musical, and rooted in where it came from. We focus on fundamentals over flash, because the dancers people actually love dancing with are the ones who can really lead, really follow, and really listen.
We're a boutique dance company, not a factory. Small classes. Real attention. Students who learn fast and stay for the community.
Eric Moreno
Founder & Lead Instructor
Eric grew up in Corpus Christi, raised by parents known around town as the best dancers on the floor. He spent his early years playing in rock bands before he found his way to Austin's honky tonk scene, and once he did he didn't look back.
What started as a love of the dance turned into a calling. Today, Eric is one of Austin's most sought-after two-step instructors, teaching out of his studio in north Austin and at honky tonks around town. His students consistently say the same thing: he's the kind of teacher who pays attention, breaks things down clearly, and somehow makes you feel like a real dancer faster than you thought possible.
Off the floor, Eric is a musician, an athlete, and a connector. On the floor, he's redefining what it means to be a "Native Texan" — reclaiming the Latino and Mexican roots of Texas dance and creating spaces that are welcoming, stylish, and built to last.
"Eric is one of the best teachers I've ever had! For anything, not just dance."
— Madie W.
Keighley Voorheis
Instructor
Keighley teaches private lessons and small-group workshops with Native Texan, and she's built a devoted student following on her own merit. Patient, technical, and genuinely fun to learn from — Keighley has a gift for making complicated things feel simple.
She teaches both lead and follow at every level, from absolute beginner to advanced refinement, and she's especially known for the workshops she co-leads with Sam. Students travel from out of state to take lessons with her.
"Keighley is patient, clear, and genuinely fun to learn from. She had me feeling confident on the floor faster than I expected."
— Fallon V.

Her ability to blend dance, music, atmosphere, and storytelling into compelling visual content has become an essential part of how we share and grow our community both online and in person.
Sam Lombardo
Instructor
Sam teaches alongside Keighley in workshops and offers private lessons through Native Texan. He's known for clear instruction, smooth dancing, and a teaching style that meets students exactly where they are.
Whether you're learning lead or follow, looking to refine technique, or just want to actually enjoy yourself on the floor, Sam is a great match. He and Keighley make a particularly powerful teaching team.
"When I see them dancing together on the dance floor, I often just watch in amazement."

HE, SHE, THEY...
Everyone’s okay
Two-step doesn't care about your gender. Neither do we.
Lead, follow, switch — whatever feels right, whatever you want to learn. We teach all roles, to all people, and we've worked hard to build a community where everyone gets to show up as themselves. That's not a marketing position. It's how the floor actually works at our lessons, and it's how we want it to keep working.
Dancing with us doesn't make you anything you aren't. It just makes you a dancer.
