Thank you so much for posting this Eldar! I was watching past videos with my dad (as both my parents used to ballroom dance competitively when they were younger) and we spotted my mum in this video sat watching and waiting for my dad! My mum has passed away a couple years back now so this was so lovely to see and strange because it’s only for a second but we instantly knew it was heard and so good with timings… she is the woman that turns around in the crowd at 3:54! I’m unsure if you are able to but May be by email you would be able to send this or keep this for me? Thank you again!!
A BEAUTIFUL WALTZ TO BEAUTIFUL MUSIC. SUPERB DANCING BY MARCUS AND KAREN HILTON, AND THE ITALIAN COUPLE AS WELL. THE MUSICAL QUALITY OF THE DANCING IS ALMOST UNIQUE.
What a brilliant man! He is so elegant, excellantly precise, in charge with brilliant leadership, GREAT musicality.. Lady some times behind the music a bit with the arms, a bit hesitant, needs streching out the neck more comfortably, but many times she is completely excellant, compatible with a brilliant man on the world stage. The striking masterpiece is the man. A WORLD CLASS HIT OF A PERFORMANCE FOR A THOUSAND YEARS.
THIS IS A WORLD CLASS HIT. Man BRILLIANT, hitting the music, excellant movements, and leadership of lady. Lady is a typical ballet soft lady, brilliant in slow sections, lacking quickness and sharpness and precise timing of coordinating arms, head in some of the quick sections, where she looks unfamiliar, although dancing with a BRILLIANT man. Nonetheless, this is a WORLD CLASS HIT and an ETERNAL MASTERPIECE for a thousand years.
Anna is soft ballet beauty absolutely in line with the music, and very good to her partner. The violinist is terrific like Ole Bull, the famous Norwegian violinist, in honour of whom I have written a rhytmic poem (I am a poet, not just dancer) to his 200th anniversary. As a poet and classical music teacher IN ADDITION to dancing I am EXTREMELY aware of TIMING IN DANCE AND MUSIC AND POETRY (THREE ARTS IN ONE MAN VASTLY STRENGHENS EACH OTHER.) Note that my dance teacher Bill Irvine LOVED VIOLIN MUSIC TO WALTZ. I'm an Imperial Society dance teacher in Norway, many years also in America.
THIS is beautiful. Note that in THIS show Eldar is professionally PRECISE IN TIMING, the key to all dance and music. This is today exemplified by the musical GENIOUS of Arunas Bizokas and of Riccardo Cocchi, today's BRILLIANT world champions in ballroom and latin. (Completely different from the off-time nightmare of Marcus and Karen Hilton and the rest of the unfortunate age of competing for Eldar. NO young dancer of today follow the DARK AGE between Bill Irvine and Arunas Bizokas, the two gold stars.) The supreme talent that in THIS show gets world class timing of Arunas Bizokas and Bill Irvine, shown in the BEATUTIFUL NATURAL TURN etc. in the opening, is a third gold between Bill Irvine and Arunas Bizokas. This is MOVING. EXCELLANT. UNIQUE. Please make this video world wide promoted as a masterpiece of dancing for a thousand years.
Thank you so much for posting this wonderful historical video. I am passionately looking for more Blackpool videos from the golden years of ballroom era 1990-1997 years!
