[@StraightEdge01]

I love it when choreographers show appreciation to older songs. This looked like a really fun routine to learn. Loved seeing the kids dancing their hearts out to Gloria!

[@christina4012]

@Newromantic999 why r u so bitter? She didn't say any was better

[@amoramor1725]

Christie shes bitter coz she/he has problem of reading comprehension.

[@yoronjo]

@Newromantic999 not even a hint of narcissism. Stop being so negative mate. I thought of the same when she said it was good that older songs are being used to teach choreo. What's narcissistic about that? Lol

[@Tina-qp7py]

It's a great song!

She can dance in high heels ...... I can barely walk on high heels ! Edit: thank you this is the most likes i have ever gotten !

[@aescorpio1111]

@Jason Crime oh yea how about you shut the f up ? No one asked your opiinion ...... 😎😎😏😏😋😋😯

[@lillianatrejo1843]

I can dance in skinny tall high heals like that. But I'm only 11 and I dance in my school and also I dance for my best friends partys and quinceañeras. Which is called a sweet fifteen in Spanish. I'm Hispanic so it's in my blood. Plus I kinda hate it. Cause I have to have ice packs on my feet after dancing so much.

[@DavidKen878]

And that's why you can't dance in them.

[@geewiz8253]

I’m surprised no one else tried doing the samba moves like the instructor/choreographer. Then again I was highly impressed seeing a non Brazilian (I’m assuming) doing samba steps. Good Latin “oldie” song but a goodie. Great job! (although I wished at least one person tried to learn some samba steps)

[@Raldonado]

Y tampoco intentaron hacer los pasos de salsa.

[@flamingflamingofruit]

Nika Kljun is Slovenian, I think her mom taught standard dances?

[@donniehagy5125]

I LOVE this: I love the music, the choreo, and especially the instructor!! She shows how much she appreciates her dancers!

[@stefb95]

wish there were more ballroom dancers in this video, they would have killed it!

[@malloryg4251]

I was thinking the same! I mean, the dancers all did a great job, but you could tell that most didn't have any ballroom experience, which is key to nailing this choreo.

[@Tamcsuzzka]

Stefanie I totally agree with you! They are all in fire but I miss the samba technique 😕😍 The other thing I don’t understand that why aren’t they dancing in real latin shoes....you can’t make a normal step in those ordinary shoes with hard sole 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

[@malloryg4251]

@@Tamcsuzzka Agreed! With the exception of Nika, I don't think any of the girls were wearing the proper shoes. You just can't dance this choreo in sneakers!! Plus, it doesn't look right

[@Tamcsuzzka]

Mallory Gantner Yeah you are right! But even Nika is wearing normal high heels 🤷🏻‍♀️ I don’t know why 😂 latin shoes can be also really high and it is easier to articulate your feet...at the end she couldn’t do the batu cadas properly in those shoes 😕

[@maggierose1197]

I’m sure that was the whole point of the intensive - to blend a dance style that most of these dancer have never had experience with their hip hop/modernist roots.

[@CharTarot]

OMG>.. I used to twirl baton to this song for our group routine!! You all are fire!!!!

[@hislemfrancisco5239]

To 2020😃😃😃😃😃😃😃

I can tell that the choreographer can rock latin dance too .. that cha cha cha walk was on point. And some paso doble figures too .. AMAZING im a fan more power 🥰😘
