It's worth living just to have the privilege of watching this magnificent moment of beauty. Emeline is a Godess and Jakub it's her perfect pair.

[@simron7684]

Absolut grandios... mir fehlen die Worte um euer super genial anzusehendes Zusammenspiel zu beurteilen. Ein absoluter "Genus" euch zu sehen zu dürfen.

[@toniruthrivers9234]

Incredible! Left me speechless and that a hard thing to do! 😂

[@rawdaaljawhary4174]

I love how gentle and attentive Jakub is and how sometimes he has a small smile on his face. J'Em is the dream team. What an exquisite dance. Thank you for sharing it with us.

[@blittster]

Obviously great dancing, but a big shout out to the camera guy for doing an amazing shoot!

[@glenhardy4770]

Friday 16 April 2021 and I applaud your comment! I learned of her while watching couples dance on West Coast Swing’s channel. This camera person’s work is much better I think, showing a much better view for their audience to enjoy.

[@helenburns2186]

Yep this camera person choreographs beautifully and intimately with the gorgeous dancing. Shout out indeed.

[@grrlMel]

I was thinking the same thing. The filming decisions made this extra amazing.

[@dada-iq7iz]

@@grrlMel yes, and it's filmed in my old backwoods Rijeka, Croatia

[@DNADANCE-DNA]

[@shaunettebehr1464]

[@shastac1957]

[@Cmonman441]

The camera work is incredible…I’ve never seen two people dance so lovingly and beautiful as Em and Jakob! I can watch the two of them forever! Also a shout out to London Grammer for this beautiful song! Just outstanding work love all around! I’m so inspired. Ty!

[@aniz40]

Amazing dance and shoot indeed! And I love that your faces are concentrated , focussed and neutral in comparrising of a constant smile wich you see often at the social West Coast swing dance evenings. Love it! Thank you for sharing your dances with us...

[@LOVE2Flute]

Your expression/storytelling abilities through dance are captivating. 😊

[@steveowen7475]

You will never see a more intense sensual and close video.....this women simply on another level..... nobody comes close......... ANOTHER LEVEL....... everyone needs a moment like this........the intensity clear to see.......cannot get enough of this women

[@mmarnp1]

Can you just please keep dancing like this forever??

[@zebulondudora]

The constant happiness and curiosity on Emeline's face, the silk smoothness of the motions(and the diamond in the belly button :D ) makes me passionate for this piece of art. I will start take west coast swing dance lessons because of her.. ;) Jakub, you're beautiful dancer too, and your duo is a treasure, this video is a great art!

[@EmelineRochefeuille]

❤❤❤

[@ddellano7273]

Mesmerizing ! captured the beautiful expression of movement to music body and soul.

[@davidhecquet8851]

Enfin du West Coast Swing frais ! Le côté fusion doit y être pour quelque chose. ça change des compétitions.

[@angeldark8812]

You're body's move like poetry, can't take my eyes off of you

[@СветМой-м6ц]

отличная локация и съемка. Браво оператору, и танцорам

[@Clasteau]

I mean, don't get it twisted, I'm following you, but DANG, the more I watch the more I am just drawn to rewatching to see how smooth J. is. Every line just flows.

[@dada-iq7iz]

Jakub has a bigger aerial footprint [espec. arms] because he's tall & lanky. Sort of like watching a human compass drawing arcs in space... Emeline is a sublime dancer too. I love that she wears pants, they smooth out & broadcast in detail her movements and her tops only reveal her midriff...very dynamic. Dresses can be a great distraction. Also, her hair is tres chic. Feeds my nostalgia for Europe....

[@Clasteau]

@@dada-iq7iz definitely a perfect pairing

[@dada-iq7iz]

@@Clasteau Look up "Gumby" - an older American clay- amitronics series...that is what Jakub reminds me of like "he ain't got no bones"........

[@Clasteau]

@@dada-iq7iz nice reference, yes. He really does have that going on. Kind of like Ray Bolger.

[@raghavanvettiyattil2897]

Very sensual and beautiful! Really loved it!

[@cameliap1146]

Sublimissime ! Le couple, la manière éthérée de danser, la musique... sans oublier le shooting ! Magique !

[@Mrsbehavin59]

So so beautiful like they are dancing a --- love story..........amazingly beautiful can watch them for hours - bravo

[@НаталияПащенко-ъ7б]

Потрясающая пара! Эмелин скользит и парит, как ангел

[@Cmonman441]

So beautiful! You two! Wow! Dude! You are so good with her! Does she make you better or are you that good! Do you know what I mean? You’re great! But is it more then dance with Em?

[@cdseidel78]

Whoever disliked this…must have grown up under a bridge with no exposure to art and not knowing what art is

[@guyfrawley9662]

Amazing guys! Thank you for sharing. Magnificent music. My 6 year old grand daughter was really mesmerised!

[@davidmyres1884]

que vous êtes beaux, une danse magique, envoutante! la Grâce., la volupté! Continuez longtemps comme ça.

[@Cliff-Notes]

For your consideration: Emeline, I'm sure both you and Jakub get a lot of requests to dance to certain songs. Tiresome? So, I know I'm being bold in this request, but here it is. Would you please consider performing a WCS dance video to the song "I Hope You Dance"; performed by Lee Ann Womack? Yes, it is a country-western song, but I firmly believe that WCS can transcend most musical genres and your abilities to artistically interpret music are often breath-taking. The lyrics - as a remedy - fit our times perfectly, as so many of us struggle against our demons - real and perceived; governmental and private; as we fight our way back to WCS, the dance we love. Maybe even consider overlaying some images that fit the lyrics? translucent, so we can still see you dancing? "I hope you never lose your sense of wonder." "I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean." "And, when you get the choice to sit it out or dance . . . I hope you dance." For some of us, this song is like a prayer as we each navigate these insanely difficult times. Thank you for your consideration. Thank you both for your moving poetry. I'm posting this request just twice (hoping one of you will see it) to my two favorite Emeline and Jakub dances (this and also the gazebo dance). kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGWXn6WBZbKre7M

[@Cliff-Notes]

I should not have been so surprised to find so many covers of this beautiful song. Here are just a few: Mandisa with a cover of this song that might have a more contemporary feel: kzbin.info/www/bejne/l4qXaGt3hM6dqsk Here Lauryn Evans - makes this song her own: kzbin.info/www/bejne/imbYZayneNCdhKM More Covers of "I Hope You Dance": Oleta Adams - with a driving beat and a bit of soul: kzbin.info/www/bejne/emm8eJuZjMyWi8k Matt and Savanna Shaw: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipzaq394ormeotU You can also listen to this on their album, "Picture This" - on Spotify. Jordana Bryant: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIXMeINvmq6NgcU Would this be considered a remix - lot's of percussion added. And, a young dancer: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXyZf4ybeN-HlbM ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Tia Sillers on how she wrote "I Hope You Dance" kzbin.info/www/bejne/n57KaYSgosZ6l9k And here she is singing the song she wrote: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4vJYmB5o8adY9U

[@lorihanson6192]

This is a gorgeous video - I love the music a lot - and the slower form of dancing - it uplifts and inspires - and the location in Croatia - all of it! ❤❤❤

[@johanhanny8014]

is very good dancing.....i like it

[@Aptius]

Hypnotic

[@philipbradfield1404]

Nice dancing and what was good that from about 1:35 on, it was one continuous shot. My only critic is that their full bodies were not always in frame. If you watch the film of dances by Astaire or Kelly or the Nicholas brothers, there are very few cuts and the full body is almost always in frame. "Begin the Beguine" with Fred Astaire & Eleanor Powell is a great example with only one cut near the end (and you gotta love how Powell's dress keeps flowing when they stop). The dance part of Kelly's "Singin' in the Rain" has only six cuts and only moves in for a closeup on his face when he isn't dancing and is ending a phrase is the song. (Trivia - I read that there was some milk that was mixed in with the water used for the rain so that it would show up on film.) Next time, do it old school with no cuts and full body in frame.

[@bedros71]

Няма как да Ви харсвам повече.

[@lezleythurman1365]

It's the best thing I've ever seen.

[@anicklapointe5926]

Mondieu je sait pas si vous êtes un vrai couple dans la vie de tout les jours mais quand vous danser ensemble vous êtes en parfaite harmonie. Cest merveilleux de vous regarder les endroit ou vous danser cest magique une vrai thérapie. Je vais me permettre de vous dire que ma mère est déceder dernièrement une dure épreuve donc je me remet très difficilement et quand je vous regarde cela mapaisse énormément,ca me rend calme et me fait tellement de bien..merci beaucoup a vous 2 vous êtes magnifique...

[@carotheplaylistmaker]

I hope the singer of London Grammar has seen or will see this video, I'm sure she'd love it ❤👌

[@velvetross6449]

Notable!!!!

두분의 조화는 환상이에요 정말 아름다워요~

[@Smoothways]

She strikes me as someone who had been through tough times but then discovered she had such a talent for real expressions and to fully dive intoa role. She performs her dances as roles.

[@32Flavors]

I get this same feeling.

[@jnairac]

Well noticed. You are a kind person. Im.sure

[@32Flavors]

Hi Emeline! I start by saying that what you are doing is art, in the true sense of the word, but from what I have seen in other videos because I am "following"😀 you nu and not only you but also your other colleagues, you Emeline are from another Galaxy, in a good way. Congratulations!! 👍
