I never liked the hops that Corky Ballas did; but I love what I see here today how Donnie did it, Donnie dancing here reminds me of the traditional Irish Dance. To me it is beautiful. So my conclusion is that it is not the hopping I used to hate, it is who danced it that matters ! George Wu, AIA 2012-4-7
I would say that this does look a little bit like American style (perhaps outdated from today's modern Jive styling) but this is, after all, a drill/kick for advanced dancers, as CG44422 stated. Donnie, I wish you had shown how to do this slowly!
Donnie is doing the best looking Jive I have ever seen in my life, not feminine at all ! Too bad! Because I already picked up all the bad habits from Arthur Murray years ago, just like the Quick Step, the bad habits never died. Damn it ! George Wu, AIA 2012-4-8
Larry, cut Donnie a bit of slack as he is demonstrating the hopping action, perhaps he is demonstrating an alternative advanced kick performed by competitors etc. Enjoyed the video!

@larrybardo Does it strike anyone else as ironic that this guy just said "Donnie Burns did not do it correctly."?

the jive kick needs to kick until knee is straight. and point the foot at the same time. he did not do it correctly.
