3 Step
Latin dance styles
3-Step stands as a symbol of Trinidad and Tobago's innovative contributions to the world of dance.
3-Step is a dance that originates from the vibrant culture of Trinidad and Tobago, a testament to the island’s rich tradition of creating unique dance styles. This dance was created by Marguerite Mcgee and her partner Jimmy Lum Young, who brought the 3-Step into the world as a reflection of their creativity and passion for dance.
Marguerite Mcgee and Jimmy Lum Young, the creators of the 3-Step, contributed to Trinidad and Tobago’s dance heritage by introducing this new style. Their collaboration resulted in a dance that captures the essence of the islands’ festive spirit.
The 3-Step is characterized by its rhythmic pattern, which, as the name suggests, revolves around three main steps. The dance can be both celebratory and competitive, often featured in dance-offs and social gatherings where dancers showcase their agility and flair.
In Trinidad and Tobago, dance is more than just movement; it’s a form of expression that ties closely to the nation’s history, celebrations, and community events. The 3-Step is a part of this cultural tapestry, offering a unique way for Trinbagonians to connect with their heritage and with each other.
Experiencing the joy of dance, gaining confidence, and transforming through the power of movement.
It continues to be a vibrant part of the islands' cultural celebrations, inviting dancers to step in rhythm with the heartbeats of their homeland.
"I will greet this day with love in my heart which is my greatest weapon and none shall defend against it" 🙌

"wonderful tutor...teaches you what you need to know"
Despite the fact that I have only been to two classes at this (ever so quickly becoming extremely) popular dance academy, I have been granted an opportunity to easily expand on my knowledge of salsa and learn a new dance. Sheldon (instructor) is a wonderful tutor...teaches you what you need to know (basics first) and extends to what you may have seen on t.v or youtube. Thus far it has been great as the entire class is at the same level...as he ensures everyone is comfortable with what they have learnt before he teaches you more figures and foot work.
