WOW!!! You both are magnificent. I happened to stumble on one of your videos about 2 weeks ago, and I haven't been able to stop watching your performances since! I've watched others as well, kudos to all! I have to say though, If I were a judge, you both would own the top! I don't know where either of you are in your lives currently. I certainly hope both of you are living awesome lives. I hope you are able to still showcase your talents! BRAVO... Continuous loud clapping, cheering and whistling... Throughout my entire standing ovation!

[@snowieherrera7710]

I honestly do not understand how anyone can find fault with this couple and the routine they performed. Ben and Victoria have danced together so long they move as one. He reads her and she reads him. You guys are phenomenal. I have dreamed of being able to dance like you both. It will never happen but I so enjoy watching you. Thank you from a young at heart 69 year old grandmother. Bless you both.💃🏻

[@GMATTOEFLSATGRECOACH]

How? I will tell you how! You have no clue what West Coast Swing is! This looks like some kind of twisted acrobatic exercise mixed with some WCS! It's ridiculous!

[@snowieherrera7710]

@@GMATTOEFLSATGRECOACH I am so sorry you are angry with the dance routine they did. Maybe I don’t know anything about WCS but I did totally enjoy their routine. I am not trying to be ugly but if you know what they are doing is so wrong then why don’t you do a video and show everyone how to do it correctly? I am sorry you could not see their routine for what it is. A choreographed routine. Apparently there were others there who enjoyed the routine. They did win first place.

[@meredithlouise]

Fluid synchronicity. Impeccable dancing. Love it. Definitely 1st place. Loved the nods to Lindy.

[@owena2570]

Wow! Just wow!!

[@sestables]

Both of them just metabolized a whole 4 course meal 😂 thats a whole marathon of cardio in like, 5 minutes

[@heatherscott9239]

I’m outta breath just watching! Amazing routine. Love you Ben

[@marylee6838]

This couple rocked the house truly!

[@chrisbjornberg7838]

Henk looks very polished here... her forte is being very playful with the male leads.. a few years earlier she danced with Robert Royston and I realized how awesome she was to be able to follow his silly leads... and make him look great.

[@roxannebaker643]

Badass music mix!

[@speedydawn1965]

Ben and victory are my favorite dance couple.. They are just beautiful together.. Awesome performance.. ❤️❤️

[@4LovePeace]

[@olwynyoung6499]

Absolutely love watching this partnership in dance. Incredible routine, and fitting 1st place. Marvellous performance.

[@snowieherrera7710]

WOW. You guys are amazing. No mistakes that I could or would see. Too busy just watching your skills. Thank you so very much.

[@PukkarPukkar]

I'm usually not really a fan of showcases because improv is always so spontaneous and therefore I think more reliant on skill, but this routine... damn. Ben and Victoria, you guys really knocked this on out of the park, 1st place well deserved, great job!

[@nicholasgerardo2042]

i know I am kind of off topic but does anyone know of a good website to watch new tv shows online ?

[@howarddominick3789]

@Nicholas Gerardo lately I have been using FlixZone. You can find it on google =)

[@dianestone2029]

That was incredible! Love to watch you 2 dance.

[@deleenc5203]

A lifetime route! You two will be forever linked.

[@aniluribsbirulina8702]

The Hits of that performance are so amazing and the best of the video too. The Best music ever you will only find in the 80s, 90s and 00s. Watching the movie "Back to the future" it always lets me dreaming and wishing to go to the past, if it would be practicable, like flying to the end of the last century and living there forever, just for that wonderful music of that whole time.

[@kimtaxxxx]

Simply impressive love it

[@scooped85]

Mind blowing!

[@LightsaberPanda]

I love their technique and musicality, I wonder if they cut their music themselves or had professional DJ do it. I don't know if I've ever heard this remix mash-up anywhere else before.

[@billyphoenix5139]

I agree!

[@MaddisonGlover]

WOW!

[@mostguitarswins]

That was slammin good 🙂👍🏽

The guy in the back at 1:58 is feeling the beat

[@markfrinch7865]

Robert Royston, also a world class dancer and champion. Yeah, he sure knows stuff about feeling the beat.

[@SFKelvin]

Damn....Damn...Damn....Damn.....WOW

[@ondrejrohleder1997]

[@janesejohnsen6750]

Hb rocks

[@nick3737ful]

pls i need this mix

[@Mikesunderground]

wow

[@vanessadurand16]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@skorp5677]

Amazing! Well, as always xD But, is it just me, or did they (you) dance different? Of cause this is a choreography and it's dedicated to a championship but it somehow felt different to me. To be honest, I'm not that into professional WCS dancing, so could anyone tell.me, what was different (except the fewer walking, obviously)? Thanks a lot :)

[@mmills5951]

Wtf was that? Wait what was that? What was that?...repeat!!❤️

[@DanceJudge]

I was about to think they left something out but nope,,, near the end,, even the kitchen sink.

[@cathrenriddler45]

Anyone have this whole song list remix? I would love to add it to my playlist!!! Anyone?

[@ewakwarciany1977]

👏👏👏👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@shellyboggs9093]

What is the name of this mix?

[@BPawn6]

damn

[@loletahughes2935]

How to. Lower your blood pressure by adding something to glass of water

[@AlwaysHereAndNow]

Amazing choregraphy. Didn't connect to the music nor did I felt the soul connexion. But amazing moves and technique!

[@ryanfloch6054]

Yeah, I'm slightly put off by Victoria's facial expressions. Those dance moves and the synergy with the music was amazing.

[@davecat3624]

Did they win?

[@nickolasdevore5656]

dave cat yes they did

[@toniruthrivers9234]

And… the costumes were pretty swanky too!

[@GMATTOEFLSATGRECOACH]

Wow! I am reading all the comments and not even one knowledgeable person among you guys! No one notices that THIS is NOT West Coast Swing!

[@GFSwinger1693]

Well I'm afraid there is a whole row of very accomplished judges, champmion dancers in their own right, along with a very specific set of swing content rules that disagree with you. BTW, they don't need to dance specific WCS, it can be other forms of swing too. Yes, it's not the swing of yesteryear but it still has the fundaments. At its core everything is a push, a pass, or a whip. They just get embellished to the point of alsmost being recognizable but they are still there. If what they were doing was something other than swing they would be penalized and should have instead competed in cabaret division.

[@martinspals5392]

[@mariebither-horta4416]

I'm iolI

[@debbiexoxoxo6628]

This is my first time watching these two. While I believe they are good dancers, the music doesn't fit the dancing no matter how hard they tried.

[@MooImaHippo]

It's really amazing how random youtubers just choose to judge someone's art. It's almost like people just lost the ability to watch with an appreciative eye.

[@janpazourek5018]

Are you mental?

[@daviddubis2554]

nice dance...awful music. Lost some of WCS feel.

[@pamelafoster008]

We’re the energy? They are good, and there to the beat. But they make me want to yawn! It reminds me of all those movies where the hood meets ballet and they witness all the stiff dancers.... and then the kids learn ballroom and they win because they have that extra oomph! This couple seems lacking in the oomph department.

[@LightsaberPanda]

Precisely the kind of comment from a hater who has zero clue on how to dance West Coast Swing properly lol. Can you do what they can do? Can you do it better? Where's your dance video with your so-called "oomph"?

[@GMATTOEFLSATGRECOACH]

What happened with the music choices in the past 10 years??? I cannot find a normal West Coast Swing dance because of this type of stupid music choice! This music is ridiculous: you cannot even dance properly to this West Coast Swing! The last good dance of Ben Morris dates back to 11 years ago with Tessa Cunningham!

[@user-sz3te9bf4q]

Your so twist

[@sevenof00]

Amazing!!

[@scooped85]

Mind blowing!

[@waverlystreetgallery5098]
