NC2: Sweetheart Pass and Fan

10m

Anthony and Rose bring you a beautiful Nightclub Two Step pattern that blends smooth connection with elegant movement. This isn’t country Two Step — this is Nightclub, a slower, more romantic dance that’s perfect for ballads and soft, flowing music.

In this lesson, they teach an intermediate-to-advanced combination they call the “Sweetheart Pass and Fan.” It’s a creative sequence that moves between close connection and stylish rotation, with just enough challenge to keep it interesting — but not so much that it’s hard to lead or follow.

You’ll learn how to set up the pattern with proper timing, maintain the stretch and compression that gives Nightclub its signature look, and execute clean transitions throughout the move. As always, the focus is on technique that works in real-world dancing, not just choreography.

If you’re ready to add something elegant and versatile to your Nightclub Two Step, this pattern is a great one to explore.

How to Practice isn’t just a motivational pep talk — it’s a practical guide to actually getting better at dance. In this video, Anthony lays out the real difference between dancers who make progress and dancers who just spin their wheels. Spoiler alert: it’s not about talent — it’s about how you practice.

Inside X Dance TV, there’s no shortage of material. You’ve got step-by-step lessons, technique breakdowns, and full patterns to learn. But if you don’t know how to apply that information during your practice time, it won’t stick. This video walks you through best practices for getting the most out of your training sessions, what to focus on, how to structure your practice time, and — maybe most importantly — what not to do.

Anthony shares how to avoid just “going through the motions” and explains how to build better muscle memory, faster. Whether you’re practicing alone, with a partner, or in a group class setting, these tips will help you stop wasting time and start seeing results.

If you want your dancing to actually improve every time you practice, this is the video you need to watch first.

Neck Roll Dip

7m

In this intermediate-level Country Swing lesson, Anthony and Rose teach a dip that blends flash with flow: the Neck Roll Dip. It’s a crowd-pleaser with a cool illusion built in—combining a neck roll entry with a deep, stylish dip that adds drama without needing big lifts or tricks.

You’ll learn how to guide your partner into the dip using a neck roll that travels over the shoulder and around the back. The technique relies on staying close, keeping control, and knowing exactly when to make contact and when to release. Timing is key, and body placement matters. Rose breaks down the follower's role in guarding the arms, supporting her center, and creating that gorgeous shape by lifting through the hips and arching the head back for maximum visual impact.

The best part? That satisfying contrast between movement and stillness. This dip hits hard because you build up momentum—then stop on a dime. It’s a stylish move that adds drama without being too complicated once you understand the mechanics.

You’ll get step-by-step breakdowns, safety tips, and technique pointers to help you master this move with control and confidence. Add this one to your repertoire and get ready for compliments on the dance floor.

The Princess Dip

7m

This stylish Country Swing dip combines a smooth lift, solid technique, and just the right amount of flair. In this lesson, Anthony and Rose break down The Princess Dip (Also know as the Low Lift Dip)—a move that blends a supported lean with a compact lift, without ever going overhead. It’s a move that looks impressive but stays safe and manageable when done correctly, making it a great addition to any intermediate dancer’s toolkit.

You’ll learn how to position your body, how to time the entry, and how to support your partner’s weight using proper leverage rather than brute strength. The key is all in the setup: from the roll-in and frame to leg placement and center alignment, this move relies on control and clear connection. Leaders will also learn how to rotate the upper body to lower and return smoothly, while followers learn how to hold shape, kick without force, and finish gracefully.

Safety tips, partner communication, and even common mistakes are all addressed. Whether you're dancing at a honky tonk or preparing for a performance, the Low Lift Dip adds elegance, excitement, and just the right amount of drama to your dance.

This one’s a crowd favorite—give it a try!

dip-rag-doll

The Rag Doll

6m

The Ragdoll is a fun and eye-catching dip that adds drama, rotation, and style to your Country Swing. In this intermediate-level tutorial, you’ll learn how to smoothly lead and follow this two-part dipping move where the follower “melts” over the leader’s leg, rotates through, and comes back up with a stylish finish. This move is both flashy and surprisingly comfortable when done right—and this lesson walks you through exactly how to make it feel that way.

You’ll start with setup and hand positioning, then learn how to roll the follower into the dip with control and support. The key is proper placement of the leader’s right leg between the follower’s legs, creating a solid base or “shelf” to support the lean. From there, you’ll learn how to rotate the follower from one side to the other, adding dynamic movement and flow.

Both partners will pick up safety tips, foot placement details, and arm styling options. Whether you’re dancing at a honky tonk or performing at a showcase, the Ragdoll will definitely turn heads—and this lesson makes it easy to master without risk or confusion.

By the end, you’ll have a smooth, stylish dip that feels as good as it looks.

dips-cuddle-drop

The Cuddle Drop

7m

The Cuddle Drop is a dramatic, eye-catching move in Country Swing that takes the basic cuddle position and turns it into a full weight-supported drop. Taught by Anthony and Rose, this move is ideal for intermediate dancers who have already mastered the Cuddle Lean and are ready to level up with something flashier.

Unlike a traditional dip where weight is shared, the Cuddle Drop requires the leader to fully support the follower's weight in a smooth, safe descent and lift. It begins with a cuddle wrap but continues by guiding the follower directly in front of the leader instead of off to the side. From there, the follower rotates, extends, and is lowered into a deep dip-like position with both arms supported and a strong connection through the center.

Throughout the lesson, you’ll learn proper foot placement, weight distribution, body positioning, and how to arch the follower’s back for a beautiful line (without ending up with a droopy dip). The video includes detailed technique for both roles, safety tips, and coaching on how to make the movement look polished and effortless.

The Cuddle Drop looks impressive on the dance floor—and with the right prep and practice, you’ll feel just as good dancing it as it looks.

dips-cuddle-lean

The Cuddle Lean

7m

In this beginner-friendly Country Swing dip tutorial, you’ll learn how to confidently lead and follow one of the most popular and widely used dips in country partner dancing—the Cuddle Lean. This move is often a dancer’s first dip and shows up in social dancing everywhere, so it’s a must-know for your repertoire.

Anthony and Rose guide you through the step-by-step mechanics of the dip, including how to roll your partner in, where to position your hands, how to create a stable frame, and how to safely support your partner’s lean. You'll also learn why body placement and weight distribution are key to making this move feel smooth, safe, and stylish—without turning it into a tug-of-war or risking a fall.

For followers, Rose explains how to control your center, avoid dumping weight into your partner, and maintain balance throughout the dip. For leaders, you’ll learn how to cue the move clearly and how to keep it feeling effortless (no grunting allowed!).

This tutorial is full of tips for safety, comfort, and technique—plus a few laughs and relatable moments that make learning fun. By the end, you’ll be ready to use the Cuddle Lean confidently on the dance floor.

twostep-hurricane

2S: The Hurricane

11m

In this intermediate-to-advanced Two Step lesson, Anthony and Rose teach a flashy, high-energy move we call The Hurricane—and once you see it, you’ll understand the name. This pattern is all about leader rotation, momentum control, and seamless hand transitions that keep the flow of the dance strong and stylish.

The Hurricane starts with a simple entry but quickly ramps up into a rapid sequence of spins for the leader, where you'll be changing hands behind your back while staying connected to your partner. The follower maintains a steady traveling line as the leader becomes the storm—spinning multiple times while keeping the timing and control on point. It’s the kind of move that turns heads on the dance floor and gets a big reaction when done right.

Anthony and Rose break it all down step by step, showing how to stay grounded, maintain frame, and execute smooth hand transitions without losing balance or connection. You'll also learn tips on how to stay oriented during multiple turns and how to lead this pattern clearly without relying on brute force.

It’s bold, it’s dynamic, and it’s a whole lot of fun—so get ready to spin like crazy and take your Two Step to the next level with The Hurricane.

line-heartline

Line: "Heartline"

9m

In this video, Byran breaks down the line dance Heartline. It’s a 32-count, 4-wall dance that blends classic footwork with just enough technical flair to keep things interesting. Byran walks you through the full choreography step-by-step, starting with a quick demo so you can see how it flows, then diving into the details with counts and movement tips.

You’ll work through syncopated cross rocks, traveling cross steps, a little sailor action, and even a Samba-style whisk and scissor combo — all wrapped up with some cool turns and directional changes to keep your brain (and feet) engaged. Byran’s clear, no-fuss teaching style makes this an approachable intermediate-level lesson, even if some of the transitions feel a little tricky at first.

If you like line dances that aren’t just walk-walk-kick but still make you feel like a rockstar on the floor, Heartline is a fun one to add to your playlist. Take your time, rewind where needed, and let Byron guide you through it. Once it clicks, it’s a blast to dance!
