In this fun and lighthearted video, professional dance instructors Anthony and Rose Lewis take on the challenge of teaching the Texas Two Step to Hollywood couple Jenna Elfman and her husband, Bodhi. Having recently moved to Austin, Jenna and Bodhi are excited to embrace their new Texas lifestyle—chaps, buckles, and all.
From the very first moment, it’s clear this lesson is going to be full of laughs. Bodhi jokingly laments his “ball bearing” feet, while Jenna playfully shows off her moves (and pokes fun at his). The couple is here to learn more than just one dance move—they want to be able to hit the dance halls in Austin and keep up with the locals.
Anthony and Rose start by reviewing what Jenna and Bodhi already know, including a little bit of swing dancing they had practiced together before. They show off a bit for the instructors, and to everyone’s surprise (including his own), Bodhi isn’t half bad! Jenna may add a little flair with some hip shimmies, but Bodhi’s doing a great job holding his own.
The focus then shifts to learning the Two Step—a progressive dance that moves counterclockwise around the dance floor, very different from the stationary swing moves they just demonstrated. Anthony introduces the basic footwork, explains who leads and who follows, and breaks down the rhythm in a way that makes sense for complete beginners (and even self-proclaimed “non-dancers” like Bodhi).
As they practice, there are plenty of funny moments, including long-arm jokes, shimmy critiques, and one hilarious moment where Bodhi admits that learning Two Step might be harder than rocket science. Still, both Jenna and Bodhi throw themselves into the lesson, determined to get it right—and they do!
There’s a beautiful balance of progress and play as they practice turning, promenading, and connecting with each other on the dance floor. By the end of the lesson, they’ve got the hang of it, and the group celebrates with a freestyle Two Step to music.
Whether you’re a dancer, a fan of Jenna Elfman, or just someone who loves a good laugh, this video delivers. You’ll see that learning to dance doesn’t have to be intimidating—it can actually be a lot of fun, especially with the right instructors.
This video is a perfect example of how even total beginners (or those who say they can’t dance) can quickly pick up the basics of Two Step with a little help and encouragement. Jenna and Bodhi prove that attitude, humor, and a willingness to try make all the difference.
So grab your boots, turn up the music, and get inspired—because if they can do it, so can you!
