  • Ashley and I got randomly paired at Jack n Jill O’Rama earlier this year, and though it was still a great dance, we knew we could put something stronger on the floor together. We decided to do a strictly (still improv, but you get to choose your partner) at Desert City Swing. I really feel like we were able to show what we can produce together in this dance, and apparently the judges did too. She and I took home the gold for this one. Fun fact: I did not know this song very well at all (hence her having to push to get the “shhhh”).
    Dancers: Keerigan Rudd and Ashley Snow
    Song: Cooler than Me - Mike Posner
    Event: Desert City Swing 2024, Phoenix, AZ
    Division: All-Star Strictly Swing

    A great pairing with Keerigan. You two make the smooth moves and quick footwork look so easy when it's not at all. Confidant, sassy, and polished. Bravo! A true joy to watch. Makes this old lady want to dance again. Thanks.

    I recently watched an Insta reel that showed how the improv couples dictated the physical comfort level with one another and this video show me that situation perfectly!.
    The reel said that a good way to communicate this without talking is to signal your comfort with a hand placement on the back of your dance partner (showing you’re receptive to your bodies being super physically close), for moderate comfort level inside a small personal bubble to touch the dance partners shoulders (showing them they want a distance separating their bodies) and then an arm giving a light push to your dance partners body at arms length (showing you don’t want to be at all close to the dance partner or as a warning to back out of the physical space).

    this was really something else. i just watched it for the third time, trying to find out what makes it so special. i love ALL of your dancefloor partners and know very well that whatever the viewer perceives as loose/ smooth/ easy (-going) takes an enormous amount of concentration in any case. this, however, has an extra touch of "collected", some hint of "tension" that serves it well. sorry, i feel like i can put my finger on it but not my tongue (so to speak).

    I didn't think the music was so good this time - it almost seemed a bit boring. But you made the best of it!
    As far as I know, you're dancing in the second-highest class there is. Is that right? If so, is there a possibility for you to ‘move up’ to the highest class? Are there rules for this?

      Moving up to Champions is a bit more complex than the rest of the trajectory! Hopefully one day though!

    When I saw this as a short, I thought that was Ashley Johnson (Critical Role).
    The way these two move togetehr is incredible, that looked chorographed it was so good.
