"Sometimes we concentrate on the architecture of dance, we worry about lines… we concentrate on the structure of dance and we forget the poetry of dance..." Nigel Lythgoe. I have watched just about every WCS dance that can be watched online, and I can state with confidence that this is the best one I have ever seen.

If this is the direction WCS is headed in, I could get interested again. This music rises and falls, has great phrasing and inspires a variety of movement; much better than the boomboom/"high energy/no change" music at so many events. I hope you guys had as much fun dancing as I had watching :)

Holy crap. Freaking incredible dancing. So stretchy and graceful. BTW, the song is "Where I Stood" by Missy Higgins.

I love it when a couple pros are just social dancing and something like this happens, it's like being at show if you happen to be sitting and resting at the time to catch it.

I can't believe pro's are dancing on concrete. I hate dancing on that stuff. My hat's off to them just for being on that floor. Amazing dancing still.

I'm an old guy so I saw the change from Blues/R&B to pop music in the mid-1990s when the kids from St. Louis started competing. That trend was cool, but it culminated in dancing to the beat instead of the rhythm and phrasing. The new music has changed WCS some for better/some for worse. LOL I've been to events with DJs that had no 'swing' to their vibe. I'll define that: emphasis on the even beat, a syncopated or "swung" triple feeling, a lagging pulse that make the rhythm fat instead of crisp

@tozasitak I think the reason this dance might have been one of the best you've ever seen, was becasue it was actually not a performance, just a good ol' social dance, I mean, thats what swing is all about right..?

I loved the whole thing but Tatiana's movement at 3:45 to the end was really inspiring. I've never seen a movement like that in West coast swing and it had such a beauty to it :)
