THE CAMP 2014 - Fabio Selmi

Extremes will help us find the middle that works for each individual couple. Fabio's stressing that the dancers be aware of where they will pass through the centered points of balance is invaluable insight and information.

Daaaaaammmm Edita Mirko the besssst champions ever !!

18:00, The lady's head roll action is led by man's knee action, man's head is the last part, is the reaction as well. The head weight in the Line Figures is used for counterbalance, not for leading.

[@rogelee-TW]

13:00, When Mirko use a lot of head weight to provide information, his knees still flexed forward, and use head weight to recover to vertical. Use the back of the Skull as the leading info.

[@rogelee-TW]

4:00, Line up the high center(sturnum) and low center (the spine) vertically over the middle of the standing foot, put the back of the scull(head weight) a little bit over the heel for the correct balence and good presentation.

[@rogelee-TW]

25:00 From static balance(the vertical) to the dynamic balance(movement with body or head lead).

20:00, In the line figures, head weight is used for counter balance, not for leading.

Ricardo, interesting commenting. The use of head weight has always some slight sort of trademark of Mirko's dancing. Apart from all the dynamic and stylization, especially with Edita, he is the kind of man that stretches to the very end. Back in the day, when he danced against Villa (and other Italians): they didn't use stretch in Sways and as much Mirko did. Not in that specific slow-neat-precise-musical and soft manner as Mirko. (Back in the day we would call his style "English". (But nowadays, with specific attention to fysically train one's body on stretching and flexibility and also musicality, and with types dancers like Gozolli as examples, every "very good" dancer strive to stretche to the maximum in Swing Dances, either a short or longer person). With Edita he has taken this stretching, along with the stretchy use of the head to a new level, besides very inventive choreographing. I do like it personally-in combination with his footwork, the use of standing leg, the musicality, wich is and was all word class already before. However i agree on the fact that his head weight is at times to much backwards. You can look it up and stop the video at certain points to see it. The goal would be to maxime stretch in any given way or to support that, but sometimes it is too much to my taste For instance, see his Reverse Turn in Foxtrot. Besides that, i find his his usage of Sway in this figure, namely to the left, a little but too much. Besides Mirko, Edita her head is over her feet. The picture she create with this is effective and great. But i feel she almost solely altered the position and the distance of the Ladies head when she started dancing with Mirko, namely she exxagerated it. to the far left and the back. But don't get me wrong, i like it. Maybe all of this is a threat to younger dancers.

14:30 the head weight movement must come back to the vertical center when moving one end to the other. The leg speed may get too fast for throwing the head around without get back to the head vertical.

本場のダンスを拝見出来て　ありがとうございます

[@rogelee-TW]

27:00, You can use head weight, rolling...after the all the basic technics are right from the bottom and up....

[@rogelee-TW]

29:30, If you like use your head weight to lead, find the center balance before using the head weight. and the body action never stopped....like washing hands, even in static position.

[@user-fw5bj7kd2i]

Please name the music of Waltz @ 6:20. Thank you for your help!

[@rogelee-TW]

Always get back to the vertical balanced position before making invitation of movement by head weight.

[@rogelee-TW]

17:30, Use Head weight for movement, or invitation/leading.

This head weighting is ruining the dancing in my opinion because it is being over done by most in this federation including the great Mirko(sorry). If they could tone it down to 1 quarter of what they are trying I think the dancing would be much much better. I have heard Mirko explain latin is more dynamic and athletic and they are trying to add this to be as interesting to watch as latin. This is a mistake on his part...latin is a special dance with unique qualities . Ballroom should be unique as well. It shows elegance ,sophistication, beautiful movement , beautiful footwork, beautiful lady and couple shaping I am distracted by Mirko's head when he dances and i barely see how beautiful Edita is because of this. i don't notice his footwork at times again because his head is distracting. it no longer looks elegant or sophisticated because his posture looks bad at times. What happened to showing off the lady and beautiful lady shapes and mens posture. I'm not saying abandon the idea completely but anything can be overdone. For my taste if my eyes are not drawn to beautiful footwork , movement and mostly beautiful lady shaping and couple interaction (ie Bonsigniori style) but instead to the man making these excessive movements that are not necessary to lead and are distracting and not beautiful or elegant looking...this is much lower level dancing. I am asking judges please don't judge this dancing as good just because it is Mirko He was much better before. Kids are watching as you guide them
