Slavik is so much better than Michael. Shame He cant find a better partner.
sorry I don’t mean …
sorry I don’t mean to disrespect the fans or anything as I do appreciate their subtle style of the Man Woman approach but… Melia really needs to loosen up in competitions…
my coach actually …
my coach actually told me that the secret here that most competitors forget is that though most of the audience are fixated on the lady 70% of the time the judges will be looking at the man as he is the one with the lead. I find this true actually as I usually end up looking at the guy’s movement more. In max’s case I think it was hard seeing that Yulia was such a great and clear dancer and he wasn’t as clear as her but they do have this great musicality and connection to them
a very slow samba
a very slow samba
Although keep in …
Although keep in mind that in the UK they have a live band playing these to their specifications of the competition, so originals will sound far different!
Cha Cha: Love …
Cha Cha: Love Potion #9
Samba: Something in My Eye (?)
Rumba: (A Slower and Instrumental Version of) I Can’t Wait Until Tonight
Jive: Jump Jive ‘n Wail [by Brian Setzer]
Paso almost always uses a variation of the Espana Cani beat, so just find an Espana Cani song and you’re set.

How do people …
How do people upload tv shows and they’re so crystal clear? That always made me wonder. haha

ohh my god, this wonderful, i am exited whit this, thanks every body for the espectacular show. congratulations!!!!
What are fak you …
What are fak you talking about? It’s not only footwork.. Emotion,charisma, connection, there are million things… I bet you don’t know anything about dancing and trying to prove your sh1t. so go and dance in your club where ”all dancers are perfect”!1!
With that said, …
With that said, people on these posts need to recognize AND ACCEPT the fact that yeah, International Style Latin Ballroom is not typically danced by many hispanics, and that’s OK. Social latin dances (salsa, merengue, cumbia, bachata, etc) and latin ballroom dances are not the same, so get over it. Respect them both… any good dancer will. They have different purposes, and typically different audiences. I dance salsa at the clubs and latin ballroom at the competitions, and it’s good.
Although my heart …
Although my heart will always have a soft spot for salsa (the first dance I learned after living in Puerto Rico for a bit) which I danced for years before trying ballroom, I TOTALLY agree that international style latin ballroom is much, much more difficult. There is a strict precision that is not required to dance salsa, due much to the fact that ballroom is syllabus based, whereas salsa and other social latin dances do not require.
Yes I know they are …
Yes I know they are Originally inspirations from Africa. I know my Culture, I know my people, I know my roots, I know my music. Yes it is true this EuroDancers have fancy foot work, But is it the right one with this rythem? NO!
Those dances you …
Those dances you mentioned are the original inspirations, as well as influences from Africa, but these Dancesport (or, Sportdance in Europe) are highly-refined advanced versions. Much harder. They incorporate “merengue action” only better. It takes a lifetime to accomplish their techniques, and only a few hours in a club for yours.
not all pro starts …
not all pro starts with cha cha.,…it depends on the place of event,,,,
