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.
