Triple step

Triple step (also three-step or 3-step) is a generic term for dance step patterns that describes three steps or rhythms for instance done on two or four main beats of music. Usually they are two quick steps and one slow one, i.e., often they are counted as "quick-quick-slow", "one-and-two", "three-and-four", etc.[1]

In specific cultural contexts, "triple step" could signify a distinct dance move or style linked to a particular music genre. For instance, in line dancing or folk dances, there exists a step sequence referred to as the "three step".[2][3]
