Interestingly, the Schottische, a 19th-century dance which despite the name originates from Central Europe, has strong and fairly complex backbeats (if danced the traditional way): one-and-TWO, three-and-FOUR, one-AND-two-AND-three-AND-four-AND. This dance has influenced blues dancing. (Which is a partner dance; African-American slaves had no tradition of partner dancing.)
