I could watch this for absolute dayyyz on end…. 🧡 To be so creative on the spot -whilst having so much fun…. Boggles my mind! Thanks guys and girls, to all of you for making my day 🙏☺️💃🏻🕺👯‍♀️💃🏻

[@faye493]

All the dancers were really good. I love watching these kind of videos.

[@maggsbufton1969]

The couple at 30.00 in the video were magical.

[@EgbertWilliams]

My only real criticism is that it seems some couples are more focused on packing in "tricks," rather than showing some real chemistry. Some never really found a groove with each other, but just bounced off of each other to perform some solo bit.

[@wonderfulwenna2710]

Awesome footwork from this couple❤😊

[@janeta3509]

I dance ballroom and wcs so this so entertaining and fun. Love the motown!

[@lisar655]

[@leoninavictoria8024]

Loved Benji and his Paso Doble ❤😂😊😮 All great but my individual winners are Benji, Maxime, Tatiana in no special order.

[@HappyPlace-vn8jp]

I sure liked the video of March 27 2024! The first song is silent! They were sure having fun and keeping together with every step! Really a fun one to watch@

[@nuvoclassic]

Loved seeing so many great dancers together. I agree they should wear costumes for next year.

[@joycarter8479]

Dress is fine, leave them alone ❤

[@beverlyhill9947]

AGREED!

[@kellyadams5128]

I miss Victoria Henk😢, I see her a lot less often . She is a phenomenal dancer.

[@sedwards536]

I miss her too. I'm in England but Ben and Victoria are my favourite dancers.

[@giacintamiliterno1726]

Beati loro... vorrei anch'io ballare così...ma ora ho 67 anni e sembra che ho mangiato un palo!! purtroppo resterà un sogno...

[@user-kv6ep5kp2i]

The M C needs a lot of attention😊

[@cezbabe]

Tatiana killed it! Bollywood ftw! It seems like you guys have rehearsed the choreo from the Norwegian hiphop dance group Quick Style? :) Fun to watch!

[@deannaclark4421]

Love watching Jordan....

[@zenaidaneduasa3831]

[@karenarthur2470]

[@Silhouette7950]

Who won?? The video ended before the winner was announced!

[@soph8164]

Who won?

[@jolenemaynard001]

28:52 what is this song 29:14

[@MsdemonMac]

I am new to this, but how can you have a waltz with 4 beats to a measure?

[@Shakashack2022]

I know NOTHING abt this awesome culture. The dancers are incredible & fun to watch. Fans / experts of this particular dance lane, please explain why they get to dress casual and the women get to wear comfortable flats… is it simply this dance culture’s attire, like the style of hip hop versus classical ballroom? I’m unfairly comparing the style to Dancing With the Stars. Still enjoyable to watch!

[@MissTwoSetEncyclopedia]

Yes, West Coast Swing is a much more casual style of dancing. In improv competitions, dancers choose comfortable clothes in which they can do any moves easily, including acrobatic ones if they choose so. (It would be impossible in suits / gowns and high heels.) They only dress up when they perform rehearsed routines in big competitions.

[@thessa8464]

Oh no Where's Victoria henk? She didnt participate?

[@AndrewMcCauleyDance]

She was injured.

[@za3713]

She was also judging

[@thessa8464]

Too bad 😢. But thank you for answering guys 😊

[@lindamcgilbra7311]

Too many comedians, making fun of the really professionally trained dancers because they know there is no way they can compete on their levels. Also, poor choice of dancing apparel.

[@user-rg9sg9og9d]

WHO WON THAT SICKED WATCHED IT ALL & NO WINNER

[@lpearson765]

Lord help us……no waltzing in public!!! I mean “private-public”!!

[@georginabousquet3740]

Il parle trop le présentateur

[@crisbycris4012]

Im brazilian and that dance has absolutely nothing to do with samba.

[@LeeWender]

That was ballroom samba, which is definitely NOT the same as true Brazilian samba. Sooo different.

[@herronslegs]

Way too much yaccin

[@lorijoyner6293]

Agree!

[@user-rg9sg9og9d]

BACHATA SUCKED NO WAY IT WAS LIKE THE ORIGINAL VIDEO

[@beverlyhill9947]

THE DANCERS WERE VERY TALENTED AND ENTERTAINING...THE MC...WELL??????....IN A WORD...ANNOYING!

[@user-rg9sg9og9d]

GUY TERRIBLE AT BOLLYWOOD GIRL GREAT

[@kristieroybal4888]

Too much talkie not enough dance.

[@patwilson5017]

You need a better modirator...he's so disjointed...does he know what he's doing?

[@eagle-eye29]

I too wish the dancers dressed in something less casual. The way they dress, especially the women, makes them look amateurish.

[@ingridarchambault4048]

But it's nice to see women performing without showing a lot of skin.

[@TalLeGal]

I think it’s great to see women dressing comfortably while dancing fabulously. There’s always all this pressure on women to do the job AND look how others want them to look. Glad it’s not that way here.

[@deborahwilcox5716]

I disagree. It makes them look like us. Which encourages us all that maybe anyone can do this….just a thought😊

[@andiamador7156]

I disagree. I noticed that they weren't all dressed in costume, but the whole thing has such a great vibe and style to it. It looks fun and natural, but yet very accomplished and professional. Some real foot work, hand and arm work. I haven't seen this style of dancing before. It isn't choreographed. These people are paired up and were given a tough task and then given another song and they make good on it. There are obviously some general rules and timing and certain grips and other quick communications --- so they don't end up stepping on each other's toes, spinning into each other, dropping one another on the floor, or giving one another other injuries. They can get into some self-expression, but they stay in sync as a good pair and express as a pair. I really like it. It is very cool looking.

[@leoninavictoria8024]

Clothes have nothing to do with the performance ❤

[@user-rg9sg9og9d]

SALSA GUY TERRIBLE

[@GillesGrenier-rn3jj]
