CS: Lasso And Lean

In this video, Anthony and Rose teach two crowd-favorite Country Swing moves—the Lasso and the Lean. These are visually striking patterns that add flair and creativity to your dancing without being overly complex. Think “flashy but doable.” The Lasso is all about the lead using a looped hand pass to create a circular, spinning effect around the follow. It looks fast and wild but is surprisingly controlled once you understand the mechanics. Anthony explains how to set it up so it stays leadable and musical, and Rose gives key tips for staying grounded during the turns. Then there’s the Lean—a stylish ending move that gives your partner a cool, framed finish without a full dip. It’s great for slower moments in the music or to wrap up a fun combo. If you’re looking to add a couple of showstopper tricks that are still social-dance friendly, this is a go-to lesson.
