Two Hand Dip
In this video, Anthony and Chelsea teach a super cool two-handed dip that works in any partner dance style—Two Step, West Coast, East Coast, Country Swing, Polka, whatever you’re into. This one looks impressive, but it's surprisingly leadable once you understand how it works. The dip starts from a right-to-left hand connection and turns into a rolling entry where the follower lifts her arm vertically (not out to the side!) so the leader can safely guide her into position. Anthony explains exactly how to connect through the upper arms without grabbing, pinching, or ending up in weird (and awkward) places. You'll also learn how the leader rotates the follower under and grabs the other arm, creating a double-arm support position before settling into a side lunge for the final dip. Timing and body placement are key here, and they cover how to set the dip cleanly, avoid common mistakes like leaning too far or kicking the leg too high, and—most importantly—how to hold the dip long enough for the crowd (or camera) to appreciate it. This is the kind of move that gets attention on the dance floor and looks way harder than it actually is. Just make sure to practice safely and with good communication!
