What I love about this is that the man looks just as fascinating as the female. Amazing forms to watch throughout 💕

I am speechless. I have a goosebumps on my body while watching, so great it was.

[@anoushm2002]

I've watched this video for like 200 times already and I'm probably gonna watch it 200 times more. This is so incredibly beautiful.

Партнёры, идеально подходящие друг другу!!!

[@jamesberghan9883]

This!!! This is why I love West Coast :)

[@007Irkenelite]

And to reply to the comment that you deleted. If you can clearly identify more zouk basics that west coast basics, then it isn't west coast. Yes, in WCS we take inspiration from other dances to incorporate into our swing, but WCS still has defining characteristics just like any dance. And when a dance has more characteristics of another dance, then it is that other dance. Because based on your theory, every ballroom champion is also doing west coast.

[@MrHarryChristmas]

Intriguing discussion. I'd have to disagree though. This routine, at least to my eye, seems to be WCS. You're right that there are some Zouk inspired movements, but the overall connection and appearance seems to be WCS. In fairness, the basic elements of the connection are often lost or distorted in choreographed routines which can make it harder to judge.

[@paulor1243]

Fantástico...

[@glenhardy4770]

You 2 are amazing. Pure perfection, to me. I find it pathetic of others that have to play judge. I always wonder how many of THEM can equal you and Jakub?

[@guadalupemonzalvomares5346]

👏👏👏👏

[@MagicTango]

Absolutely beautiful dance! and very cool fusion elements (not sure if you do fusion but you look like outstanding fusion dancers with a wcs touch :) and trust me there are very few good fusion demos on YT!! (so I suggest to include the tag "fusion" and as well. (would be fun of course to learn WCS as well some day...)

[@johncarrez4249]

According to Shazam, it's Anne Sila's cover of Chandelier :)

[@МихаилШуфер-щ2и]

Thanks a lot!! :)

[@kennethbeeler1]

Sadly, the norm anymore, slow slow slow. I'm all but over coasting. The blues has all but taken over west coast & Lindy hop... " Balboa " ' about the only form of dance with up tempo music.

[@gritskennedy5007]

The music is so badly done it takes away from the stunning dancers..it's like watching Rembrandt painting on a piece of soggy newspaper don't blame the artist but very badly sung by whoever it was. Dancing was flawless we just could not finish watching due to unbearably bad music.

[@007Irkenelite]

This is a great routine. but it isnt west coast. they do a combined total of 7 triples the entire routine. They do almost exclusively Zouk basics. So yes...great routine...but it isnt swing.

[@chrispugmire]

Interesting point, and I had to re watch to check, but I don't agree (personally), although I can see your point. The movement, stretch and most importantly the connection is clearly based in WCS (to my eye).

[@007Irkenelite]

Well im going to have to disagree considering they are doing identifiable Zouk patterns/basics. However, the look of a connection is often misleading. As most follows will tell you, a lead can look smooth or whatever but feel rough or even painful.

[@fandrall2]

this is not swing i agree but the music isn' t swing too so it's logical !

[@ne5o2]

The patterns are mostly the same in all open embrace dances, I could also say that they are mostly doing identifiable salsa patterns. You can not say that they ar not dancing WCS just because they are not doing basics, because people dont often do much basics in choreos. Some elements that I could spot there that are NOT usually found in zouk: rock-n-go, anchor (+ WCS style "one"), scretch, triple (all 7 of them as you said, but still). WCS has taken so many elements from other dances already (free-spin comes to mind), you can't suddenly start saying it can't do it any more. Granted, the name is misleading by now.

[@fandrall2]

what is the question? wcs is a mix of every dances, and work a lot about connection between partners; so what they dance is clearly wcs. if the question is about swing, it s about type of music. for some people wcs must be swing; but wcs is more than swing ...
