Thread The Needle
Looking to add something flashy to your dancing without learning an entire new routine? This trick move works in Two Step, West Coast Swing, Polka, East Coast Swing—pretty much anything in the country dance world. It’s got spins, wraps, and a slick behind-the-back slide that’ll definitely get some attention on the dance floor. Even better? You can plug it into lots of different patterns across different styles, once you understand the hand positions. In this tutorial, Anthony and Rose walk you through exactly how the move works—focusing not on footwork, but on what actually makes or breaks the trick: the arms. You'll learn the key hand connections, how to lead the neck wrap safely (and stylishly), and how to make it feel effortless instead of awkward. There’s also a heads-up for height differences, plus an explanation of how to “drive” the move instead of dragging your partner through it. This one’s a little tricky at first, but totally worth the practice. And once you’ve got it down, you can throw it into Two Step or West Coast Swing without changing the whole pattern. Just add the arm styling and boom—it’s a showstopper.
