The view from the end is interesting. You don’t get as much of the show, but you see more of the mechanics. So less entertaining, but more educational.
The Google app identified it as this song ASTN - Butterflies However, I think it’s a different version than this one ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-r1lb7iqk6Jo.htmlsi=u_3KwFGa_V1RofRy
Sorry Grey I know the video quality is not so good on this one - I had to use a copy from a friend's phone, but thought it was worth trying. I appreciate your feedback.
Thanks for getting this, Tim! This isn't the only "right way" to find basic stretch, but it's a great method to learn how to connect based on distance. Some things I've been noticing: -both leaders and followers squeezing back with their arms to try and create a tense "post" right on count 4 -leaders drifting toward their followers and floating every anchor, not building stretch over two beats before redirecting, then abruptly pulling on one -followers not filling space or seeking connection, and stopping even moving their feet if their leader stops moving toward them Learning to connect this way is very good for getting out of all three of those habits, and feeling how stretch can increase when your center moves away from your partner.
in my opinion the best West Coast Swing J & J style was demonstrated by Melissa and Torri ( placed 7 & 8) but these judges couldn't deny the powerhouse tricks of Tatiana or Nicholes slippery acrobatics and they are just embarrassingly fascinated by anything Hip Hop because they can't do it , have never felt it so they mark it way high ( KP & E ) but I think the most relatable & musical- Maxime & Melissa best leaders ( always getting their signature moves ) - Nichole & Tatiana best follower- Thibault couples I would like to see partner again for choreo - Kp & E & Benji & Brynn robbed by the dj , worst song to Maxence & Patty ,,, that is how I see it and I am the original RU-vid Dance Judge . Thumbs up!
your statement " powerhouse tricks of Tatiana or Nicholes slippery acrobatics" they are suppose to be dancing not acrobatics, I have always dislike that nonsense being added into a routine especially being pulled across the floor. I do not know how the routine is judged but I saw wonderful dancing that were marked low, sad
