Always magnificent. I've followed him, Heidi and Lacey from way back to SYTYCD. VERY glad to have KZbin to keep these videos forever. Luv all the family-friendly shows

There is a problem when you are a consistently great champion year after year. The audience has great expectations. You area held to a very, very high standard of greatness. Benji and Torri continue to overcome that problem with year after year increased WOW factor. This year is no exception and why I love going to the US Open. They take the entertainment factor in the dance and move it off the charts while still performing with a dance quality that makes your jaw drop.

Benji, you gave SYTYCD its cult status. Without you, your season would not have been so popular. Donyelle was a great dancer too, but all eyes were on you then, now and will always be.

Watching Benji and Torri dance answers the age old question: Are we human, or are we dancers? Dancers. We are dancers.

[@taradee5807]

watching benji or Lacey or Heidi dance is sheer perfection and pure happiness,

[@katta47]

Absolutely amazing!

[@gigilagreen6789]

Everyone should have bum rushed that stage. That. Was. BEYOND. Some moments in life just need to be celebrated and acknowledge as DNA-changing. This performances make me feel out of my body. Pure joy. Like, this feeling is the PURPOSE of life.

1:47....jaw drops. Incredible move!

[@austinthaijam7009]

Benji! you are my GLAD-iator!

[@unspecifiedusername8820]

Jesus... Amazing

[@meditateherenow2587]

Wow 👏👏👏

[@pingpong4811]

1:19 ... Well, that was the boogie woogie world champions move in 2008 from Mauvais and Truntzer (watch?v=JH0XCgKJiz8). But nice variation, as I always felt that letting her drop to the ground was really bad. This is much nicer!

[@peytonsawyer562]

It was also used by Benji and Heidi many times, search "Benji Schwimmer & Heidi - US Open 2002"

[@josephsonners2743]

How did they do that without a couple kicks to the nose?

[@number1bobo]

I really don't understand the guidelines, because there are almost no swing patterns in these choreographed dances. Spectacular tho.

[@ylekiote99999]

1:40 to 1:54 Jesus!

[@NenaMataHari]

I want her shoes.

[@billengles7485]

I've watched countless hours of Benji, and Benji and Torri (my favorite of his partners), I absolutely love him/them, and the dancing here is spectacular, as always, but I have to say, these costumes are, IMO, pretty awful.

[@sama10557]

Horror shoes

[@swingslide]

Great dancers... horrible "music". Where is the swing?

[@vincentgibbons7343]

great dancers terrible music

[@healthnut3433]

Are these female WCS dancers taking steroids, now? They are beefier than 5 years ago...
