2S: Partner Pivots

Partner pivots are one of the most fun moves in country two step, and one of the most requested. In this lesson, Anthony and Rose break it down in two stages so you can build it the right way. First, you'll learn the basic version, where the leader steps around the follower and travels backward while she keeps moving forward. You'll learn how to get into that position on the slow, and just as important, how to get back out of it. Then you'll take it to the next level with full partner pivots, where you both rotate together as a team for as many turns as you can handle. In this lesson: • Getting in and out of the leader-backward position Level: Novice to Intermediate. You should be comfortable with your two step basic and promenade position before starting. Tip: This one takes practice. It won't feel great the first few times, but keep at it and it will click.
