Jakub Jakoubek and Emeline Rochefeuille, 10th place West Coast Swing Routine in the Classic division at the 2018 US Open Swing Dance Championships FANPAGE: / jakubandem INSTAGRAM: / jem.wcs
Watching this in November 2021 --- how far you two have come!! This was truly wonderful, no doubt about it. But your development over the past years into the exceptional dance duo you have become is something to behold. I'll always prefer any of your improvs over this exquisitely choreographed and brilliantly executed dance piece. Improvising, you simply reach another level of communication, it's a world apart...
What is great about this dance is that it is not as showy or acrobatic. Rather, it stayed true to the West Coast Swing dance while showing lots of creativity, a high level of skill, and fun!
they followed advice and danced this for the audience , gave the tricks on beat , rehearsed & executed. They were not rewarded. Should have stayed true to themselves but still people were not ready . Be patient & true , it takes time.
I love watching Emeline dance but this song and this routine was not one of her best - for her or for Jacob. It was beautiful but she is capable of much more. I just don't think that this song was the best song to showcase both of their talents. It does not play to their strengths.
