👌🏻

[@milliemouse6525]

I would LOVE to know how they choose the winners! I think the 2 best couples were totally ignored 😢! Nothing against the ones who won but couples 3 and the last one were both so in sync with each other plus they DANCED TO THE MUSIC 🥰!

[@alesandrabull]

This competition was actually judged by the dancers in the competition. There wasn’t a panel of judges.

[@jazzcornertv]

I wonder which states are represented?

[@SydnieKleinhenz]

I think some of them are Washington, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, California, Utah, Tennessee. And New York! I don’t know where Kyra is from. (Edited with apologies to Andy Lee for thinking he was someone else.)

[@jazzcornertv]

@@SydnieKleinhenz That is beautiful. I am going to have to find out if New York missed the flight (lol). We have 12 months to prepare.

[@AlyssaBeard1]

@@SydnieKleinhenz Hey sooo…. His name is Andy from NYC scene. Kevin is a different lead.

[@SydnieKleinhenz]

@@AlyssaBeard1 Oh, gosh! So sorry! Thanks for the correction. And his name is sitting right there in the video description!

[@bencostello7435]

​@@SydnieKleinhenzKyra is from Maryland

[@anthonyaugust9556]

Whats wrong with listing the winners in these videos? You're afraid the public wont agree?

[@alesandrabull]

The winners are listed in the description. Irina and Christian were 1st, Erin and Peter were 2nd, and Naomi and Andy were 3rd.

[@renatoscelsi8874]

Non capisco come hanno potuto far vincere la coppia formata da Irina Amzashvili & Christian Frommelt (noiosi come poche altre coppie) e lasciare dal podio, forse i migliori, ossia Kyra Isaccs & Anthony Chen (che hanno fatto dei numeri da circo). Una gara di scarsi come questi quà credo di non averla mai vista. Al primo posto doveva andare Kyra Isaccs & Anthony Chen, secondi Naomi Uyama & Andy Lee e terzi a parimerito tutti gli altri (scarsi uguali). Cioè ma siamo seri? in competizioni serie come l'ILHC o lo Snowball, avrebbero vinto quelli che ho citato sopra, tutti gli altri manco tra gli amatoriali gli avrebbero potuti far competere. I don't understand how they managed to let the couple formed by Irina Amzashvili & Christian Frommelt (boring like few other couples) win and leave perhaps the best, namely Kyra Isaacs & Anthony Chen (who did circus acts) from the podium. I don't think I've ever seen a race of scarce people like these here. in first place had to go Kyra Isaacs & Anthony Chen, second Naomi Uyama & Andy Lee and third all the others (scarcely equal). I mean are we serious? in serious competitions such as the ILHC or Snowball, the ones I mentioned above would have won, all the others not even among the amateurs could have made them compete.

[@alesandrabull]

In this particular competition the competitors were the judges. They did not have a panel of judges. So, I suppose you can ask them directly why they scored the way they did… but I think to give such a harsh criticism isn’t really fair. They are judging in real time and not pouring over the videos frame by frame like many of us do who judge from home. Maybe the vibes were just right.

[@deathpesten9501]

​@@alesandrabulluna critica non è mai dura ma solo sincera, resta comunque una valutazione imbarazzante

[@alesandrabull]

@@deathpesten9501 I’m sorry that you feel that way but I understand my event may not be everyone’s taste. The beautiful thing about a global Lindy hop community is that there are plenty events out there that probably have the kind of competitions you’d like to be apart of. Cheers!

[@deathpesten9501]

​@@alesandrabullla mia critica non è sull'evento in se, ballare e veder ballare è sempre bello. Dico una cosa molto differente, non capisco perché chi ha fatto delle cose veramente interessanti non si è piazzato sul podio, tutto qua. Evidentemente sono stati dati dei giudizi più in base all'amicizia che in base alle reali abilità dei ballerini, e di questo mi dispiace molto. Sono anche io un competitor e sono molto competitivo 😂😂😂 forse è per questo che me la prendo così tanto
