The Open 2022 Blackpool | Amateur STD - Final

[@blacksorrento4719]

Love that they include the Viennese Waltz at Blackpool. My old dance floor is looking good after it’s revamp. 👍😊 Never realised how lucky I was to have the Tower Ballroom down the street, and the Empress Ballroom at the Wintergardens Up the street and the around the corner. My parents were hoteliers in Blackpool and my brother, cousins and I all did competitive dancing. We were taught by the best of the best at the time. PS: I hope the give the Empress Ballroom floor a revamp as well. It was sacrilege what happened to that beautiful parquetry.

Michal and Sandra from Poland is a fantastic couple. With a very classical style. The result list have them as winners, and many want to congratulate this EXCELLENT couple, who will go straight to the final as professionals when the day come. I wish Marius Mutin to publish a video of their outstanding waltz. (In the above video they are almost absent.)

[@helgechristophersen7665]

That said, I really love Marco and Dora´s beautiful Waltz in the above video. They fulfill the movements masterfully, and interpret the music masterfully. A great couple coming. I also am deeply satisfied with Boyce and Caroly in the slow foxtrot.

와우!!! 블랙플 우아하면서 고급스러움이 역시 살아있군요 그동안 스웨이만 너무 강한 우악스럽고 빠르기만하고 촐싹스런듯한 춤들 보느라 고역 스러웠읍니다~~ 구경만해도 내가 춤추는듯한 이렇게 고품격의 춤사위 앞으로도 계속 보고 싶습니다

[@jussiisotalo807]

I still remember how I used to dance there! About 20 years ago when these couple were like toddlers…. 😁

Hi can someone pls give me the song title. Have been looking for it for over 2 years... In the 80s and 90s I used to dance and it was by far my favorite Waltz song

[@LMS16]

“With You I’m Born Again” is the title of the slow waltz

[@DancerGirl-24]

great but - why not include the results here?

[@blacksorrento4719]

They are in the drop down box, the little down arrow directly under the video bottom rhs

[@DancerGirl-24]

thanks

[@DancerGirl-24]

thanks! I wish the camera could capture all the contestants, as I want to see if my judgment matches the judges' placement!

[@trishalivingston1051]

The smooth dancing is looking increasingly bizarre! The ladies' heads are so far back these days they resemble clockwork mannequins. That position screams splitting headaches and chiropractic adjustments for head, neck, arms, and shoulders. Pure agony. In both cases with Latin and Ballroom it looks mechanical, unimaginative, and in watching them I'm vicariously experiencing their physical discomfort and can't bear to look!

[@BUROO1854]

so if you dont like it, do not watch them :)

[@ChrisS-rc8gl]

@@BUROO1854 Agree Filip!

[@Willabus2]

Have you ever watched Dmitry Zharkov or Mirko Gozzoli?

[@jenniferthomas2032]

Just watched an old video of the Hiltons. So much more intimate and pleasing to the eye. All you see nowadays is the lady’s heads.

[@楊杰-d9l]

頭過於後仰，不符合人體工學動力，不符合太極原理，違背了大自然規律，的確痛苦地跳着舞，舞者跳華爾茲頭頸後仰確實有過；但是跳探戈和維也納華爾滋頭頸自然有糾正。頭頸若後仰有過份的話，維也納華爾茲和探戈就不好跳了。所以舞者都自然歸回一點，且到好處，顯得自然了，看上去就如身入其境，覺得舒服多了。 2022年7月2日下午楊杰敬啟

Does anybody know the tune to the tango?

[@philiposhea5285]

"The Punch and Judy tango" : kzbin.info/www/bejne/f32blKuHisujY68

[@aramb]

@@philiposhea5285 what a great tango that is!

[@ctherats6023]

How a lady dances whilst looking at the ceiling is beyond me. The desire for “ dynamic “ shape has abandonded the most basic of principles… shape is created by a reaction to the action . Its simply horrible to see a beautiful lady walk up to the man and take hold with her head tilted back to look up whilst he has done nothing to lead that shape ! Further more, once you have that exaggerated positioning of the head, who do you expect to extend it further in a thrwy oversway for example? Supr fit, super talent, super potential … runing down the wrong track totally. Dont believe me? Try doing it past the age of 60 years old , ive seen Hurley dance like magic with his years ticking over, effortless and desireable and produced CHANGING shapes from his lady depending on the dynamics of the step…. The principles are there for a reason. Dont waste your time in the chiropracters rooms guys, just do it right.

[@dancerballroom6668]

too violent

[@ylchen77]

黑池越辨越勢微，選曲差和嘈雜聲夾在一起，讓人心煩。本來年輕組很有看頭，但頗失望。新舞池并不高貴過以往。大概是走火入魔，把優雅如水般流動的舞蹈變成千篇一律的競技。

探戈怎么听着像鬼子进村了呢！
