Nils and Bianca are ALWAYS THE BEST!!!!! ❤❤

[@murabarsikova8336]

Nils and Bianca are the best and unrepeatable! My favorite and amazing couple !

[@XvFOAMYvX]

Everyone was wonderful! Nils & Bianca, I didn’t know I could make such facial expressions due to the awesomeness of their skills. They have elevated in their greatness and I didn’t know that they could get any better! I wonder what moves they will bring out next time! 😮🔥😭🙌🏾

[@Lexy_Meier]

Bianca and Nils! And a big compliment to the band!

[@carriekilbourne-quirk166]

Did that first dancer Tyedrick throw his glasses?? That’s brave😳 all such incredible dancers!

[@lizhutchinson6978]

Props to Alice and Michel for having ariels almost and crazy as Bianca and Nils. Love seeing a tall lady fly!

[@user-lz4ne7ls5p]

Beautiful aerials! Alice is only 5’5 though, tall compared to Bianca ;)

[@lizhutchinson6978]

@@user-lz4ne7ls5p Relative to her partner though

[@lizhutchinson6978]

@@user-lz4ne7ls5p She's tall relative to her partner. They look roughly the same size

[@lizhutchinson6978]

@@user-lz4ne7ls5p But relative to her partner, she is tall...Michel is not much taller than her. maybe an inch?

[@marcelopepice7671]

que nivel! Melina and Iam 🤍💙 🔥

[@SebastianAhumada-c8p]

Melina Pesssina and Ian Bellet look so nice!! Their second spotlight was fire 🔥 sooo refreshing to see new ways of execution and ideas 😍

[@mostguitarswins]

OMG such talented dancers! The second round was off the charts 💖👏👍💖👏👍

[@mo_better_blues]

WOWWWWWWW THE MELI SPOTLIGHT IS SO COOL

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

If I was in charge of the seemingly curated KZbin trending page I’d be promoting this. So fun!

[@djangaver]

At first I watched Melina & Ian. Then I replayed to watch Felipe’s live reaction to them. Kudos Melina&Ian you restored my hope

[@raymondevige962]

J’ adore tous ces danseurs. Bravo pour leur talent! Vive la danse! From France 👋🇫🇷

[@larryleonard3922]

Awesome dancers, fabulous music and excellent camera coverage!

[@ILHC]

Thank you very much!

[@stephanetougas811]

Le niveau est vraiment fort

[@salomonsaachz6823]

It's one of this rare case my three favorites are none of the three favorites 😅 - Awesome band by the way

[@lindsaysega3289]

13:40 😳 what did we just see??? I can hear their conversation for this round- Bianca: should we do one or two new aerials for the throwdown? Nils: did you say three??? 😂

[@blueeyedbull67]

All the couples, hmm, I think I could do that with my partner and some rehearsal time. Bianca and Nils??? Literally otherworldly and impossible.

[@MusicOrLoseItTV]

13:50 If there’s a better move in the vid than this one, let me know 😲

[@sylwiarozpierska2373]

😍😍😍

[@lizhutchinson6978]

I'm finding the music kind of boring in this first one. I don't think the dancers look very inspired by it either. Yawn :(

[@robertmiller532]

And so do I; a bit plain I think

[@ellakosma4415]

I was just thinking; the first part had the vibe of a teachers presentation
