@@DrewSew 🤔 I think they're friends and are just dancing together, Apparently they're all random pairs doing improv. But idk this is not as uncommon nowadays. Well Depends where you live tho.
@@heroncolby2842 oh I'm actually assuming they're not a couple, just dance partners. There's still room for love and affection there, even if it's just platonic. Where I live though, I don't see much of that.
I’ve wondered for so long why I never see two men or two women dancing as partners like this and I’m so glad that RUclips recommended this to me. I hope this is just a start and it becomes more and more common because this was amazing!
queer partner dancing like this is not the most common thing in the ballroom dance scene, but its also not unheard of and there are competitions far this specific kind of partnering
If it helps, Jojo Siwa chose to have a female partner when she went on Dancing with the Stars (USA). Out of all of the LGBTQ+ Celebs that went on that show, she was the first to have a same-sex partner, which is really brave of her. Then on Strictly Come Dancing, which is the UK Version, Great British Bake-Off Winner John Whaite partnered up with Johannes Radebe.
It has nothing to do with "love", it has to do with dancing to a music. They do not both lead each other, Attila is the leader and Leo is the follower, they are literally not equals. But both have space to improvise to the music, and the leader leaves space for the follower to suggest.
@@Adreno23421 True, in this case, these two aren't a couple. With that said, there's a lot of bias in various dance organizations, competitions, etc, against same sex couples, so it's nice to see two men who are comfortable with themselves show that they can do it just as well.
Yeah, except they're not a couple, not in love, they aren't both leading, and at least one of them is -- likely to the dismay of gay men everywhere -- "openly straight." But apart from that, yeah, totally on-point. LOL.
Dancers fascinate me. They always have. Partly because i can't dance and partly because there are so many different ways to dance and couples, and groups make it look so effortless when you know that they practice for hours each week. Love this. Thank you!
@@therhinosnake6938 The channel that posted this video clarified in another comment, saying it was an improv. The competitors didn't know the song beforehand.
You know it's validating in a way, being a gay male myself, seeing the internalized homophobia/discomfort of the other contestants as this couple dances. I imagine all of them are really kind, good people, and look at how uncomfortable they become when he moves his body in certain ways that "men aren't supposed to," when the "feminized" sensuality is present in him. They cover their faces and look down, multiple of them, multiple times. Watch the other videos of the same contestants when the female dancers do the same types of moves, and none of them look down or cover their mouths or laugh uncomfortably. I don't blame any of them--heterosexism is ingrained in all of us--and I actually find it strangely validating for subtle versions of it like this to be so clear, even in a competition that likely feels (and is) progressive for letting two guys be in and participate, cheering them on. And I think that is great. Hopefully over time, these instincts to feel uncomfortable around a male body moving and being in these ways will get massaged out of all of us. It was interesting that it was mostly in the women too.
I just like to imagine that there's an alternate universe where gays are the "normal" ones and these giggles and looking down upon is Targeted towards straights... (Idk if the second part is healthy or not... But it is what it is)... I never undermined my feelings... I never let myself feel lesser than any breeder... It would not be wrong to say that I like to think of myself supirior to breeder... It just helps me go around them and live... (Judge me if you want)...
@@hustler212 I don't know if you have ever heard of a psychological-therapeutic model called the Minority Identity Development Model, but I found it super helpful in understanding myself a long time ago. It has 5 stages and by the third stage of development, these are exactly the kind of feelings we *need to have according to that model. An actual *inversion of the value system that was oppressively placed on us. Folks in stage 3 feel like our own minority identity (queer in this instance) is *better than the dominant identity. It helps us build self-worth we have needed, helps us cope with the onslaught of messages around us telling us we are inferior or don't belong. In this stage, we often separate from the dominant group, come up with names for them (like breeders), etc. One of the reasons I find it so helpful as a model is it is counter intuitive morally. So many people think we should always be kind/nice/empathetic/humble/inclusive. But in stage 3 people are usually angry/self-focused/exclusive/arrogant. And that's actually really good! It helped me see that we need to be different things at different times to develop well, to protect ourselves, to have self-worth. Those who are a part of any marginalized group need this kind of anger. I'm glad you have it, even as I'm so sorry we even need it in the first place.
@Gabriel Prescott I hear that. And I think it makes a lot of sense. I guess I always feel torn between this perspective you named here and the one I vocalized. What they are doing *is harmful, and is not behavior we should normalize or accept. I agree with you. But at least with where I am at present in my life, I find really moralizing language to make it harder for people to change (even if it's true). In conversations around marginalized groups like queer people, I think, even though it's wrong, it's helpful for us to learn to talk about it in ways that make it acceptable to discover an -ism in your own thoughts and feelings. A kind of, "Of course I have these kinds of thoughts and feelings. Our culture and sub-cultures are so sexist, racist, classist, ableist, etc." I want people to be able to see those thoughts and feelings (myself included) and work on them, not be so defensive and scared that they never can. That said, I know marginalized groups often deeply need to scream, we need to condemn them, for our own sanity's sake, for our own self-worth's sake. And, from a moral view, I do think what they are doing is wrong and harmful. So I feel torn by that. Thank your thoughtful and honest comment. It's a good balance to the one I wrote, and maybe even a good correction to it. I don't think it's cynical at all.
i 've watched this about 50 times. It's fascinating . The dance moves are so smooth and original, and all the fun little poses here and there make it so entertaining.
What an incredible performance. The dual-pirouettes were mind-blowingly good! The timing of the the through-the-legs follower snake was so precise. You guys are killing it. Perhaps my favorite west coast swing performance of all time!
I watch this video at least 3 times a day, it is my serotonin fix. It makes me happy in ways I can't describe. I find myself grinning like an idiot when I watch it. When I'm stressed or anxious, this is my go-to. The adjectives I could use for this performance are: spectacular, graceful, fun, heartwarming, seamless, natural, sexy, and enthralling.
this song is so rave Leo and Attila makes dancing look Great!!! My spirit gets fed when I come here. I have watched them several times. I am terminal and watching them is apart of my spirital journey.
I am such a fan! The way these 2 move together is just inspiring. I've probably watched them 20+ times over the last week because of YT feed, ya know. Just beautiful and they were in tune with one another. Just gorgeous to watch. Great Job!!
Wow what a blast--I'm so jealous of guys who can dance like that! Beyond their talent, it's clear they're having a great time, which is crazy infectious. Real glad I saw this.
You gotta LOVE the syncronized face blushing in their hand of the sitted girls in pink and green shirts on the left at 1:05! Seriously though, they're so SMOOTH and I love how it doesn't feel like a parody of a man and a woman dancing but 2 men ACTUALLY doing their own sexy thing TOGETHER.
Absolutely the most beautiful interaction of two guys , performing an outstanding dance routine, it's just sublime, and creative , what a amazing talent,what an amazing delightful experience ,you guys are awesome xxxx
Amazing improv! I can't stop smiling,I think i have rewatched it like 15 times these past days- it's such a joy to witness Attila and Leo's technique and energy. Leo's playfulness is absolutely electric
A beautiful chemistry between the two partners, fluid movements and rhythms I would like to be as talented as these two dancers. They make a great duo. I adore this video. ❤️ Thanks 😊
The amazing moves they have at their disposal, show how long they have trained throughout their lives. This was manly, fem and flirty, and everything in between... and perfect!
Breathtaking... they put on a truly amazing performance that is beautiful and charged and the chemistry between them is intense. How anyone can see something like this and think that two men being together is somehow wrong or unnatural is truly twisted.
Leo is a very good leader in a dance, but arguably he's even better - astoundingly good - as a follower. If you ever watch him follow in a group dance setting (rather than here where it's just one couple), you'll see that everyone's eyes are on him.
Yes, brings back memories of myself establishing ballroom dancing courses for lesbians and gays in the city of Cologne in the late 1980s. We even had formation dances and balls.

It was so free. The way we all should feel. Made me cry a bit, too.

Also recommends me
Same, random recommendation also 😂🤣❤️✨

I'm obsessed with this dance. I want more from them both as a couple

I discovered these videos thanks to the algorithm a few weeks ago and I'm OBSESSED 😂 Look up Dimitri Hector, he is an incredible dancer as well.
Because of closed minded and homophobic mentality. I hope it changes.

You dont get it. Before the 60's, men were dancing together in Argentina for example, women were not allowed in bars or taverns

They were in sync😂
Got me laughing so hard! Perfect moment!
I love this part
Omg ahaha fr 😭
oh dam didnt even see that bc i was doing the same thing xD
Watching these two dancers picking up each others’ signals in an improv piece is phenomenal. Bravo!
I love how the world is changing. They're beautiful dancers.
those TURNS! Absolutely on point with each other! Gorgeous!
The side by side spins and the snake through the legs are moves you just don't see done everyday in WCS and I liked them here! Thank you !
This performance is electrifying. So much charisma, they have a natural flow I've not seen in a long time 🔟🔟🔟
It's difficult to watch this without smiling. So enjoyable. And Léo is just magnetic in this dance, wow.
