Hello everyone
Can someone please help me out with dance styles  for these two songs 
In the example of bye bye love In our area folks would a two step to this song  tempo is at 167 and would be a pretty solid song to dance to as a two step.
For the Wanderer tempo at 125 what is the name of style of step that most people in your area would dance.  I have always done a version of a polka to this style of beat ( I know it's not a polka) but there is a breakoff point to the two step when it seems to do this double step right, double step left. Many of these songs you can do both to it.
I'm not very good at dancing but I'm doing a family gig where we are trying to teach youngsters how to dance so I'm categorizing my songs into common speeds and beats. 
In our area It was  common to play  two or three songs of the same beat together so when the gentleman would ask the lady to dance he knew that when he did he was going to be able to dance the next two or three  without embarrassing himself or her as to not being able to do the dance.   
Some of the older type bands would do the first song over as the third song in the three song set. 

Thanks in advance for your help.
Merry Christmas

Hello Eli
I apologize for not being clear on my question, I'm not looking for the keyboard dance style, rather I'm looking for the type of physical dance style, (technique) that an individual would dance to the beat of the Wanderer, the Bye Bye Love would be a two step in my estimation but I do not know what I would describe the other dance style as. 
Thanks
Merry Christmas All

Hi Travelin Easy
I'm looking for the name of the type of dance  (in general terms, Waltz? double step? quick step? ) that the people would be doing in this video  at the 1:08 mark they are dancing facing each other and the steps are 2 quick left side  and 2 quick right side and so on.
This is a different song but much the same beat as the Wanderer

I'm not interested in all the  fancy twirly stuff although it's very good .
I'm just trying to be correct in giving out the names of the styles of dance, As I said before in my area we would call the video of Bye Bye love a two step.

I've dance the dance in question for years but have never know what the correct name is, it's very similar to a polka but a polka is generally 105-to 125 BPM    Two steps are generally back beat between 160 and 190 BPM and this
step that I'm trying to figure out is usually in the 130-150 BPM

Thanks
