2S: The Hurricane

In this intermediate-to-advanced Two Step lesson, Anthony and Rose teach a flashy, high-energy move we call The Hurricane—and once you see it, you’ll understand the name. This pattern is all about leader rotation, momentum control, and seamless hand transitions that keep the flow of the dance strong and stylish. The Hurricane starts with a simple entry but quickly ramps up into a rapid sequence of spins for the leader, where you'll be changing hands behind your back while staying connected to your partner. The follower maintains a steady traveling line as the leader becomes the storm—spinning multiple times while keeping the timing and control on point. It’s the kind of move that turns heads on the dance floor and gets a big reaction when done right. Anthony and Rose break it all down step by step, showing how to stay grounded, maintain frame, and execute smooth hand transitions without losing balance or connection. You'll also learn tips on how to stay oriented during multiple turns and how to lead this pattern clearly without relying on brute force. It’s bold, it’s dynamic, and it’s a whole lot of fun—so get ready to spin like crazy and take your Two Step to the next level with The Hurricane.

2S: Check Illusion and Bowtie Neck Roll

This intermediate Two Step pattern was one of the highlights from our stop at the Thirsty Horse Saloon in San Antonio, Texas, during the Two Step Tour. We call it the “Check to Illusion Turns and Bowtie Neck Roll,” and it’s one of those combos that feels as cool as it looks on the floor. We originally taught this one live on tour, and then came back to the studio to film this detailed breakdown — with a few fun clips from the live class mixed in. It’s ideal for intermediate dancers looking to add something stylish and unexpected to their social dancing. The balance between control and rotation makes it super satisfying to dance. Plus, it’s the kind of move that gets noticed — but still fits right in on a crowded honky tonk floor.

2S: Ronde Arm Lock

In this festive Two Step combo, Anthony and Rose are dancing under the Christmas lights at Market Street in The Woodlands, Texas. And while the setting is all holiday cheer, the pattern they’re teaching works year-round — not just in Two Step, but also in West Coast Swing and other partner dances. It starts off with a smooth outside turn that transitions into a stylish two-hand hold and wraps up with a unique ronde moment that really opens things up. From there, the follower goes into a double spin while the leader keeps everything grounded and connected. What makes this pattern fun is that it’s not overly complicated, but it looks impressive. The Ronde creates a beautiful stretch between partners, and the exit into the double turn is clean, controlled, and social-dance-friendly. Plus, there’s plenty of room to adjust spacing depending on how much travel you’re working with. It’s the kind of move that makes your dancing feel more dynamic without requiring a ton of effort — perfect for intermediate dancers who want something eye-catching and useful across multiple styles. One of Anthony’s favorite things about this one? He barely has to move — it’s a gift that keeps on giving.

2S: Leader's Free Spin

In this Two Step lesson, Anthony and Rose break down a pattern that flips the script a little — this time, the leader gets to do all the cool stuff. This one starts off pretty chill with a classic shoulder catch and an entry into skater’s position, but don’t let that fool you. The real magic happens when the leader takes over the spotlight with a spiral turn right past the follower — yep, the guy is doing the spin here. Anthony walks through how to lead this pattern in a way that makes it smooth, stylish, and actually work on the social floor. It’s super lead-driven, meaning if you guide it right, your partner doesn’t even need to know what’s coming — and that’s the fun part. The follower’s job is mostly to stay aware, maintain rhythm, and be ready to anchor while the leader spins around her and finishes in style. This pattern is one of those rare ones where the guy gets to impress the room — and if done well, it’s one she’ll definitely remember. Packed with useful tips, a spiral turn breakdown, and footwork details, this one’s a must-add for intermediate dancers looking to level up.

2S: Continual Overhead Turns

In this Two Step tutorial, Anthony and Chelsea break down one of Anthony’s favorite go-to moves — a super fun, spin-heavy pattern that’s all about control, connection, and clean technique. Followers, you’re gonna be turning a lot in this one, so if you’re not a fan of spins, might be time to find a waltz. But if you’re down for the challenge, this one’s a blast. This pattern features multiple turns in a row, a hand change that flips mid-turn (and flips back), and a smooth exit back to closed position — and it’s all based on one key thing: a good lead. Leaders will learn how to manage spacing, control momentum, and use their footwork — specifically Shanae-style turns — to stay connected through the chaos. Anthony also shares a golden tip about hand connection using what he calls the “sweet spot,” and how staying in that pocket with your middle fingers makes the whole pattern work. It’s a fun one, a bit technical, and something you can loop as many times as you want before transitioning out. It’s not for total beginners, but if you’ve got your basics down, this is one you’ll want to add to your toolkit.

2S: Choreography: Part 3

In this final piece of the three-part Two Step choreography series, Anthony and Rose wrap it up with another 64-count combo that ties everything together. This section adds some flash, some finesse, and a few places to really milk your musicality — all while staying totally social-dance friendly. You’ll kick things off with a stylish neck roll that flows into a wrap and tunnel sequence (twice), followed by a redirection and a cool spiral-style setup. From there, it transitions into double turns, alignment changes, and a few dynamic position switches that look slick but still feel smooth and leadable. This part is all about understanding where you are in relation to your partner — alignment, opposition, and how to maintain momentum without rushing or stalling the dance. The steps themselves aren’t crazy hard, but getting them to feel natural in flow is the key. Whether you're linking this with Parts 1 and 2 as a full routine or just picking out a few moments to plug into your social dancing, there's a ton of useful movement and technique packed in here. Watch it through, practice each chunk, and you’ll start feeling way more confident with longer combinations on the floor.

2S: Choreography: Part 2

In Part 2 of this progressive Two Step series, Anthony and Rose teach an intermediate 64-count choreography combo that links seamlessly with Part 1 — but also stands strong as its own sequence. It’s packed with leadable, social patterns that flow from one to the next without needing to stop and reset. You'll find everything from opposition technique, spirals, arm catches, dips, and tandem turns, all carefully taught with real-world application in mind. This lesson focuses on how to maintain momentum and stretch, especially using opposition to control transitions like the Ronde, and how to create clean rotations during multi-turn combos. Anthony and Rose also highlight the importance of body position, footwork fakes, prepping for direction changes, and how to adapt these moves to real dance floors — not just practice rooms. While some of the patterns were introduced in previous lessons, this video expands on how to connect them smoothly and use them as part of a larger choreography set. It's designed to make intermediate dancers more confident in combining moves fluidly — while still keeping everything social-dance ready. Don’t miss the final video in the series for the full choreography set, and keep working each part until it feels natural.

2S: Tunnel Wrap and Pretzel

In this video, Anthony and Rose break down a super fun (and twisty) intermediate Two Step combo that combines a tunnel wrap with a pretzel/hammerlock finish. This pattern’s a crowd favorite at social dance halls, and once you get the timing and flow down, it feels smooth, stylish, and super connected. You’ll start with a basic wrap, move through a tunnel variation (where the follower ducks under in a controlled, intentional way), and then transition seamlessly into a pretzel/hammerlock with continuous rotation. Along the way, they cover all the key mechanics: arm positioning, follower alignment, connection points, how to avoid blocking your partner’s lane, and what “belly button direction” has to do with doing it right. There are plenty of helpful teaching moments throughout — like how to manage hand changes, why it’s better to move your body (not just your arms), and how to avoid cranking your partner’s shoulder into oblivion. It’s the kind of move that can be used socially all the time, but only if you do it cleanly. If you're ready to step beyond the basics and start dancing patterns that link together with real flow, this is a perfect one to add to your social dance toolkit.

2S: The Pretzel

In this fun and super-requested video, Anthony and Rose teach the classic “Pretzel” pattern — a twisty turn-and-wrap combo that pops up in all kinds of partner dances like Country Swing, East Coast Swing, Two Step, and even Salsa. But this isn’t just about learning the move — it’s about learning to do it right so your partner doesn’t end up in a chiropractic situation. They walk you through exactly how to handle the armwork, when to raise or lower each hand, how to avoid “ouchy” spots, and why the connection in the hands matters more than the fancy footwork here. (Spoiler: they explain the magic of the "sweet spot" for hand connection — once you get that, everything feels smoother.) You’ll also see a few different examples of how the Pretzel can fit into multiple dances with different rhythms, and why moves like this are great to learn no matter what style you’re working on. If you’ve ever tangled someone up mid-turn or wondered why your wraps don’t flow right, this one’s gonna clear a lot up. Plus, it's a great reminder that most patterns aren't tied to one style — learn the technique, and you can use it everywhere.

2S: Choreography: Part 1

In this video, Anthony and Rose break down the first part of a full 64-count Two Step combo — and instead of teaching you just another random pattern, they show you how to string together a series of moves into a smooth, danceable routine you can actually use out in the wild. This one’s all about giving leaders a plan, so you’re not stuck wondering what to do next mid-dance. Starting in promenade, the sequence builds slowly with a mix of familiar moves and new transitions, using hand changes, rotations, and redirections to move fluidly between positions. You’ll learn how to control pacing, when to begin and end turns, and how to use timing and connection to make everything feel natural for your partner. There’s a big focus here on why lead timing matters just as much as footwork — especially when leading spins and direction changes. Rose also covers arm styling and hand availability for followers, and how to make your movement easier to read (and prettier to look at). This is Part 1 of a 3-part series, and it's perfect for dancers who want to start linking patterns into routines that flow and feel great to dance socially.

2S: Weave Fold Variation

This one’s a super fun, eye-catching Two Step combo that’s still 100% leadable out on the social dance floor. Anthony and Rose break down this intermediate-level pattern that starts in promenade, rolls through an inside turn into an inside weave, and then adds a slick shoulder catch and halo-style turn to finish things off. It kicks off with a promenade walk, setting up a prep and an inside weave. Leaders, you’ll learn how to reverse direction mid-pattern and work your way around your partner while keeping everything smooth and connected. The trick here is in the timing — both of your footwork AND your lead. Rose explains how followers can pick up the rhythm based on the lead’s intention, not just memorized steps. The second half of the move introduces a shoulder catch (or as they call it, a “shoulder receive”) that sets up a graceful overhead halo turn. There are a couple of rhythm changes in this one too, and they’ll walk you through exactly how to handle them without getting lost. It’s unique, it’s stylish, and it’s still totally usable in real-world dancing. If you want to turn heads without making your partner guess — this is the one to try.

This is a performance-ready sequence built from real social dance elements, making it flashy and leadable in any country bar or dance floor setting.

Anthony breaks down each leader technique in detail, including hand switches, timing, and foot placement. Rose explains follower tips for staying upright, offering the correct hand for redirects, and keeping balance during fast pivots. It may look fancy, but it’s built from solid Two Step fundamentals: promenade entries, directional changes, and turns that make sense socially. You’ll even learn how to adjust spacing and body position for smoother execution.

2S: Quick Tunnels

In this lesson, Anthony and Rose take dancers on a trip back to the glory days of Two Step with a smooth and stylish move called the Quick Tunnel. This one's got that vintage 90s/early 2000s competition vibe that still looks awesome on the social floor — especially because most dancers today don’t see it coming. The move starts from a high-five-style handhold and builds out of a lariat, then winds into a funky reverse skater’s position before unleashing the Quick Tunnel itself. What makes this pattern unique is the way both partners change positions through a series of tunnels, turns, and scoops — all while maintaining connection and control. There's a lot happening, but once it clicks, it feels super cool and just flows. Anthony breaks down the footwork and mechanics in classic X Dance style — step-by-step, with real-talk advice on what actually works. Rose jumps in with tips for followers, especially on head positioning and posture during tight turns. This move will definitely level up your Two Step and add something different to your dance tool kit. A fun challenge for intermediate dancers who want to stand out!

2S: Inside Slip Turns

In this action-packed lesson, Anthony and Rose break down one of their most frequently danced (but shockingly never-before-taught) Two Step patterns. It’s a flashy, turning-heavy move where the follower spins continuously in one direction while the leader navigates alongside — doing something entirely different. It’s a true test of coordination, timing, and connection — and that’s what makes it so much fun. This video tackles one of the biggest challenges dancers face: how to stay connected and balanced while both partners are doing completely different things. Followers will learn how to stay centered and follow rotational leads without anticipating. Leaders will master fingertip control, how to lead turns without using thumbs (no lobster claws here), and how to stay in sync while executing their own chainés turns. Anthony and Rose break everything down piece by piece, from footwork and spotting to hand connection and timing — all while keeping it lighthearted and real. You’ll also get Rose’s advice on why it’s better to be a little late than early when learning something new, and why this move is more about feel than memorization. One of their coolest and most lead-follow-focused Two Step moves yet.
