Grand Nationals 2017 Rising Star 1st place winners

[@Trenchant468]

Several commenters said old people wouldn’t like this couple. I’m here to tell you how relieved and happy I am to see them. They’re clearly trained in authentic swing and honoring the dance.

[@user-Elle41]

Beautifully choreographed and executed dance routine. I loved how smoothly they transitioned from one move to the next. They definitely deserve the 1st place they got 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@alispickard9231]

Awesome!!!! Loved the new twist to a oldies music. Not hard to see it will take the older generation a little longer to appreciate this couple. Loved them!!!!!

[@sammiedog4]

Ugly dance. No style. Ugly

[@kimberlysuewhite]

Whoa, BRAVO, Ken & Bryn, performance perfection; I loved, loved, loved this, start to finish!!!

[@micheleponcier9603]

FANTASTIC job! Love it! I am very picky (I judge competitions and cast musicals) and this couple hit the mark and it was perfect! Great music choice, great costumes - she didn't have to flip her hair a thousand times and no vulgar moves, it was strictly GREAT dancing all around. I would pay them to choreograph for me! The popular well known "pros" need to learn from this... Awesome!

[@teleopinions1367]

A lot of content to their routine and very, very refreshing to see. Beautifully executed.

[@loraroark3327]

Thoroughly enjoyed this couple's dance!

[@angelacarleton9575]

This couple I love because of both shine!! They share the spotlight - thank you for being kind to one another!

[@judygwen3977]

SMOOTH and to one of my favorite songs! This guy is smooth! I love watching this!

[@micheleponcier9603]

Soooooo fantastic! I absolutely LOVED this! No hair flipping or nasty twerking needed - they were skilled the entire routine! I have judged plenty of shows over the years, this is talent! Great job!

[@Dancer-ms3me]

This couple had perfect style, rhythm, and choreography. Bryn Anderson displayed perfect form, she is a good example.

[@patriciaitalia]

Why would so many people downvote this fabulous routine? Don't want to know! They were great!!!

[@angelalowe5747]

Looks great guys, love the costumes too

[@PatrickMoise]

I am disapointed with the negative comments below.. .this is a Rising Star routine. They rocked it. PERIOD

[@tracytuten5116]

Patrick Moise very few negative comments the majority of us LOVED IT! Obviously those few people who disliked it lack taste & creativity.

[@masja1790]

Wow wow WOW!!! They are so perfect together. Amazing rhythm ❤ Can't believe that people watching can sit so still and expressionless 🙈

[@screeningmimi]

Love this pair, lots of charisma and original choreography!

[@1105pitbull]

Wow, a little of the current with a nod to years past. Love love love the music and their dance!!

[@msheridan4828]

These two are so smooth they remind me of ice skaters.

[@zenacrobatics]

loved it!!

[@theresakappes9284]

They are my favorite!!! I love to see kids dancing. Cool ass song too.

[@ginelleday5412]

Omg they are so good. They have so much talent. Wow loved watching it was flawless.

[@LambieSamba]

WOOHOO! So great to see evenly matched dancers!

[@skylights2379]

He is so smooth, always showcases his partner.

[@vickywilborn6247]

It's hard to believe that people can be so judgemental and critical. Why would a person be negative when they should appreciate the creative expression and talent executed by this couple? In all competition I have witnessed, it was apparent that all of the couples strived to stand out by introducing variations of the basic steps of the Shag. Does anyone disagree? I hope to see more unique variations of the dace in the future. This performance was great and very entertaining!

[@barbaraflory3444]

SPOT ON! LOVED IT! People who are critical are just mad because they JUST CAN'T DANCE!

[@user-Elle41]

Most of he comments are positive. Why focus on the negative ones?

[@sherring7074]

Amazing dancers. Had a move for every beat of the music.

[@darleneandreoli921]

[@Slrutube4me]

[@tracytuten5116]

[@annjacewicz9851]

Definitely the best pair of dancers I’ve seen....perfect in every way 😘

[@209lapko]

That was fantastic!

[@noenaburnell3245]

You normally can see one partner is the better dancer. I can't with this couple. Both very good.

[@johngeorge9865]

Agree.i love Sam west but he usually out dances his partners.

[@sammiedog4]

They were obviously different haha. Nasty dance, bet they can't do Latin, ballroom real swing they are one dimensal you

[@advogadacinta6280]

[@user-Elle41]

I agree. It shows that they enjoy what they do.

[@user-Elle41]

@@sammiedog4 There’s always a turd (💩) thinking they can do better. Yes, I mean you.

[@dianesanchez6781]

They are very athletic. You have to be in great physical condition to execute those dance techniques. 🕺💃🕴️

[@roberthusar442]

1st - love that song! They made it work!

[@gailjackson-chapman7085]

[@sandranaylor2348]

Great dancing, good routine. Why did the man on the audience with the blue shirt not watch the routine

[@janemason9451]

Because he's rude.

[@patriciaitalia]

Jealous, maybe?

[@daleodberg6714]

Awesome!

[@tbird1968]

The only thing I don't like about these performances, (and it is VERY obvious in this routine) is the mugging for the judges/looking at the judges by the dancers. I find it much more enjoyable to watch when the dancers are only paying attention to each other. Otherwise it looks too much like a stage performance, rather than just a couple dancing exquisitely. Their moves are nice, but they need to quit looking at the judges/cameras.

[@BRIGHTLUVLITE]

YEA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Wow!!!! ❤️

[@DD-d6d3]

Awesome

[@flyingeaglewoman8682]

I done see the connection between dancers, they are mostly looking at something else which takes away from the dance.

[@ciprianna77]

so EXCITED to see a black person in partner dancing!!! when i go ballroom dancing or any kind of partner dancing, i'm always the only black person!!! they definitely deserved to win 1st Place!!! :-)

[@sammiedog4]

Ciprianna Cimino why?!?! Cause there is a black. Be serious. Why do you need to ""accept"' only when one of yours is a winner"'. Can't you just ""accept there are others who are better. Period. Or!!! Oh!! Let's give it to the Black cause it's only the Right thing, time, let u show we are fair. You know it bullshit.
