Ah...Finally - I like this!!

by Laura Fan on 08/14/14


For years, I've been a huge proponent for pure dancing, not overly shaping, but just pure fluidity, flow & musical in movement.

Despite the fact that I admire the enormous and extraordinary talents of many of the WDSF dancers, professionals or amateurs, I find the body line connection disturbing - too much hip pushing & exaggerated shapes. I'd often question, during the viewing of the dance videos, especially in the Swing dances - Where's the swing?

Recently, I came across a few clips of this couple and I just couldn't take my eyes off of them.  I LOVE their dancing.  There's fluidity, flow & musical.  There's the beautiful shapes-  Huge shapes.  But the the biggest draw of my attention was the harmony of their partnership, their body action & body line connection. They are not the highest ranked couple, Yet.  Still fresh & young. Cannot imagine just how far they could go from here!

I believe one of their main coaches is Fabio Selmi.  I've always loved Fabio's dancing.  He never neglects the principles of pure dancing while developing the new sporty, extraordinary shaping way of dancing.

Enjoy these 2 clips.  I hope soon we'll have great dance coaches in the USA who can help the USA dancers develop the proper skills & techniques to implement this style.
