Texas two-step
Country partner dance
The Texas two-step is a country-western partner dance performed to music in 4/4 time, characterized by a quick-quick-slow-slow stepping pattern as couples circle the dance floor counterclockwise.
Figuratively, a Texas two-step is any evasive maneuver or calculated sequence of moves, especially in politics or business: The governor did a Texas two-step around the corruption allegations.
