Hi everyone!
I just started dancing two months ago and it's been amazing so far. I was watching some dance videos and I would love to know the name of this one figure (which I think I've seen it in a few different dances). You can see it in a video here (sorry it's a bit jumpy): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W_-ux27s2bA
The figure can be seen from:
0:52 - 0:55

Thanks so much in advance! :)

Funny you should ask. It doesn't officially have a name, but between me and my colleagues it's referred to as the "Dancing with the Stars", because there's one every episode!

Ah yes, the drag your partner across the floor figure.

This particular "action " was first publicly seen in movies . It was in an Adagio style Tango , danced by Rudolph Valentino in the 20s
