2005 World Am. Latin Championships - Jive Solos

2005 World Am. Latin Championships - Jive Solos

[@martianvirus428]

This is an AMATEURS championship?! If these are amateurs...I can't even imagine how insanely good the professionals must be. wow.

[@gshankaran]

Couple of things jump to my mind: 1. True that the dancers look tall in the video, but in reality most of them (with the exception of di Filippo) are actually short. Riccardo and Eugene are around 5'6", and Eugene's actually bigger than Riccardo physique wise. 2. Waist size - well, the dance pants are usually about 2-3 inches narrower than your regular pants - it makes the movements that much clearer and more defined. So there you have it!

[@liamlynchfan]

cocchi and wilkinson, and mauritzio and melinda are both soooooo amazing!! their energy, moves, technique... it's a feast for the eyes

[@gshankaran]

My understanding regarding Eugene and Maria's dancing was that they had already matured in their style and belief that they weren't really changing it much to suit the tastes of the judges, which is why they achieved a high ranking around 2003-2004, and from then on it went downhill in the amateur ranks, whereas the other couples just kept evolving making it more interesting to watch(!?). As a professional, you find what works and then you keep tweaking it until it is all yours.

[@이형환-y7q]

We can get a grisp of the fact that Yulia wasn't Ricardo's partner in 2005....so this famous dancing couple who now became a Legend actually got together from 2006. Yulia used to be partnered w/Maxim Koznikov(?) until 2005.

[@Ibutubi]

disculpame "latin championships", no lo digo por desprecio ni al swing, ni al rock and roll, pero esto no tiene nada de baile laino y se lo considera como tal

[@swidanza]

Karime18, to get to the point, this has nothing to do with culture. It's a sport, the dances originated from different cultures(probably before u were born), but u don't hear them complaining.The fact is many of these dances were transported during the trans-atlantic slave trade(the samba and rumba are sometimes argued to be African. pick up on ur history)so it has nothing to do with latin culture. if u can't appreciate it, then don't watch it and it is called Dancesport.

[@Karime18]

Are you a professional dancer? don't think so. At least I was born a latin and this is suppose to be part of my culture but you what are you. who really cares, I don't. So yeah why don't you leave and go and watch some rock and roll dancing that is part of your culture. Don't think you know more than I do because I was born and raised with latin music and this is not comparable to what we latinos really dance like if you aren't sure visit a latin country and educate yourself morron!

[@ITANAGAR12345]

5'9" is enough ... I am 5'7'' means dat I am a dwarf or wat???? watever their height is they are too slim.. too thin.. dosnt look good when guys are skinny but dats just my opinion..anyway who care how they look they are awesome dancer

[@Karime18]

Yeah probably you shouldn't interfere because in the first place IS NONE OF YOUR BUSINESS. Second, I'm not talking to you. Third I don't like Jive. Fourth, you think that you are the belly of the world, and Fifth, SHUT UP.

[@gshankaran]

Err..not quite. Bryan represented Germany as a competitor partnering with Carmen, but his accent is very, very South African. Sort of English mixed in with some Dutch and a dash of Afrikaans.

[@cotimalvavisco]

esto no se puede considerar latino por favor !!!!!!!!! esto es mas swing o rock and roll que un baile latino...

[@Karime18]

What the fuck this shouldn't be consider Latin Music and Latin Dancing. I'm Latina and that's not our music and how we dance what a shame. They don't have the SABOR LATINO!!!!

[@togegonz]

why latin championships?? where is the latin music & rythm?, and why latin ppl dont know that this tournament exist??? and and and and etc etc etc lol

[@ITANAGAR12345]

this dance is incredible,, but why these guys seem so slim.. they were tall and slim.. very slim.. like 28" waist for 6' guy is not ok

[@RobbyTheMuffin]

Oh. sorry, probably a basic step I don#t know, I just notices that they're american (different steps than in europe)

[@NikolasK88]

the name of the song is "Go on fool". but i don't know the singer. If anyone knows it, please tell me!

[@disasterstrikes94]

dear god how do you dance like that in those heels??? wow now thats thats something to envy

[@Br0nze]

If you notice, from 2004 to 2005 they stopped being so mean to the Hungarians lol

[@jhoninhas]

Maurizio Vescovo and Melinda Törökgyörgy are the BEST!!!!! Love them!!!!

[@ChikenMuffinz]

Go on Fool - Ruth Brown... I'm pretty sure....Can you check if it's wrong?

[@LuckyTV333]

das ist doch einfach gewohnheit außerdem tanzt man ja nicht von jetzt auf gleich mit so hohen schuhen!

[@emkeytube]

true hahahahaha they hated maurizio hyperness

[@MegaMaffeMike]

does anybody know wich song they dance on?

[@ivatoneva]

What a great song! What is its name?

[@risticshisren]

Is that Bryan Watson commenting?

[@xxMTBxx]

how can you even say that amateurs are better than pros?????...top pro couples all have individual styles...it's not about technique anymore,all top pro couples' technique is impecable...you can't apreciate pros if all you look at in a dance is exactly what you've been told and looks ordinary....amateurs are just faster usually because they don't have the control or rythm or dance or individuality that top pros do

[@autKilltec]

where can i get the song?

[@prvtdncr36]

Go on Fool by Patti Black

[@gingermist21]

Little waists come from dancing your but off, it's an awesome thing really! And I know Stefano is the only tall one out there Riccardo, Eugene, Muaritzio are all around 5'8" or 5'10". I was so supprised when I met them, I thought they where so much taller as well as the ladies, I thought Yulia was tall and she's only 5'3". They look so much taller on stage!

[@emkeytube]

i just noticed how as compared to the other couple's choreo... Riccardo's choreo is simpler with more partner work and more of basic chasses ronde-checks and kick bolt changes

[@AbunaFilipposPerePhilippe]

[@emkeytube]

latin shoes and the style of latin requires a toe lead (except paso). A high heel actually makes it easier to lead with the toe

[@ivatoneva]

Katsevman and Manusova - the best and their cha-cha solo was the best - I am not a dancer but I think their performances were the most rhythmic! Who are the winners?

[@Caskader]

Riccardo

[@hyeeyez]

wow how amazingly light and easy they make it look. my goal is to NAIL the jive and not look like im DYING by the end of the compeition lol. amazinnggggg!!! aah ballroom is ruly my PASSSIONN!!!

[@Danaeeeeeee]

who won?

[@Darkmausi]

at 3:00 how could she dance like this with these shoes (i can't even walk with those XD)

[@DragonMist07]

My faves would have to be Eugene and Maria, as well as Ricardo and Joanne. There's a finesse and style there that is just astounding.

[@kimberlycu]

where??

[@a21w24]

Does anybody know the name of the song? Can't find it by the lyrics anywhere... Cheers!

[@Tayo3234]

@hOpEcHiLd7 It IS Karen Hardy. I read she's a certified DanceSport commentator, I think on her Wikipedia page. YAY also!

[@a21w24]

Absolutely right! Thanks so much. I'm hooked on it now :) Just realised it was mentioned already some time ago. Anyways, thanks a lot!

[@Karime18]

Thank you for making it CLEAR!!! finally someone with manners understands what I've been trying to say. Thanks again.

[@Adwizbranding]

Very good commentary. Love this kind of strong judge's view style of commentary during these performances.

[@RobbyTheMuffin]

Dang. I keep looking for the basic step... do they ever dance one?
