Here's a couple of the actual steps you can get going with...

i got the right-left one-two part ok, but then i get confused with the rock step and shuffle step. and no way i can put them together yet. probably gonna have to see it in person.

You'll get there. I first started learning old time rhythm guitar by playing with other players, watching their fingers as they played songs. I got better and more confident later when I learned actual music theory and regional styles of playing, concentrated classtime one year awhile back. I bet basic steps are basic steps wherever you go. there are oldtime music groups where you are headed, different regional style (think rhythm and beat, different songs), but still recognizable as oldtime music, probably some associated dancers who'd be able to show you some basic moves. takes practice to put multiple moves or rhythm chords together to accompany a tune.

Never Clogged but learned how to Square Dance when I was a kid in California.
Very Hickie!
