A nice piece of jive from Morten & Roxy. All the rest, with the excepiton of Kirill and Valeria, looked more like a rising star competition. Such a great venue, good music and the audience. But the dancers are so-so. Nothing even close to what Blackpool final used to be.
@@globalcoupledances I assume the issues were serious enough for most dancers to boycott, so I wouldn’t congratulate them without knowing more. They all love blackpool so I assume their reasons were very compelling for them not to participate in protest.
@@emhu2594 Whatever the reasons are, the love for dance must be what matters. Politics are just politics, but Blackpool has its history and those who did not take part did not give the joy to the audience they could have given. They have punished not only the orginezers, they have punished thousands of people who wanted to see them.
@@Maria_Fomina You...are obviously a very selfish, egotistical and shallow person. Wow This is not about you boo. There are plenty of other videos on youtube for you to watch.
This is a brand new blackpool competition. Rather I would say Donnie Burns’ pool competition. Don’t get me wrong. I am not a supporter of the WDO. They also have some issues such as giving Stephanie and Anna the Open Blackpool championship even though their performance was not qualified for a champion.
They did not permit Russians to participate, raised money for Ukrainian dancers. I hate to see politics in dancing. Respect for Donnie Burns for not doing this.
@@Maria_Fomina Both competitions allowed Russians to compete...literally half the dancers are Russian. And the fact that you have a problem with raising money for REFUGEES. Wow you are a terrible person
@@ficklefialka309 I have no idea who's behind Anna and Stefano but I guess everyone except Donnie Burns. Even Salvik was a judge of the Open Blackpool event. I've seen Slavik judging both WDC and WDO events though.
This is so sad. Doesn't even feel like Blackpool as we know it. What is # 42 doing in the final? Only two couples would make the final in real Blackpool.

@@asiapaca5782 I agree. Winning this competition without your biggest rival fighting against you makes your win a bit questionable. Although Marina and Dorin are amazing couple I doubt the result will still be the same had the other top couples competed.
I feel like Marina would have been better competing in standard. She lacks the fire, sass and fun of a latin dancer. Her strength is elegance and grace, which just doesn't work. It's like a ballet dancer dancing hip hop.

42 is the try hard couple. testing boundaries should be finished during practice, not during the competition. It is not flattering and lots of losing balance. And their expressions...i won't say it but you know
I also dont understand their dancing style, it just seems silly to me. They are getting good places and have fans, so they are probably doing something that I am just missing.
@@maxdoe6972 their energy is explosive, but they totally lose control of everything...balance, technique and facial expression. I feel like they need to share that energy with Dorin and Marina, and Dorina and Marina could share their control with 42. in the middle ground there would be a great couple.
Ok. I don't like Darren and Marina as a couple but to be fair to them, t is a new partnership. Darren has great feel to music. But there is major work need to be done with the timing of feet. Partnering skill also can be improved. But Darren is probably trying to adopt a different style being more energetic. The transition period is what a person has to go through to improve. Let's see what holds in the future.
The towering achievement in this final was the remarkable dancing by Kirill and Valeria. Both of them danced excellently and brilliantly. They owned the night. They were the clear winners. And should have won. The weak performance by Dorin and Marina in all dances, underlined the fact that Kirill and Valeria were indeed best on the floor.
I also noticed that Dorin and Marina looked unusually weak. Their dancing did not look like champions' performance at all. Maybe 3rd place, not higher, judging by this video. A lot may depend on how a couple is filmed, at which moments and angles, but I have an overall impression that the quality of their dancing somewhat decreased. Kirill and Valeria, on the contrary, have improved their dancing considerably, their communication with each other is much better now and they looked really very good. Partly, I guess, it was because at this competition they really, maybe for the first time, were feeling as one team that had to struggle together and they were very happy to be there - not many places nowadays where they could be welcomed as a Russian couple. This is rather sad, but I guess, it was one of the factors that also helped them to produce their best performance. It's not easy to dance knowing how many people are against you. But they did, and very successfully. (I was actually shocked reading some answers to Valeria's instagram post about this event - some people congratulated them, but there was also so much hatred in many comments, I'd never seen anything like that before). I wish them success and hope they will become better and better.
@Мария Фомина i agree that D and M didn’t look like the absolute winners. Sasha and Klemen, whom I also like very much as a couple, looked devoid of their usual energy and spark too, despite Sasha’s outstanding dress and grooming. I think all the seismic changes within WDC are affecting some dancers more than the others, and I think we should expect even further decline of the field in the absence of healthy competition.
@@ficklefialka309 What happened to Sasha and Klement reminds me of Ferdi and Yulia. They were quite interesting as an amatuer couple, but lost their spark when they turned professionals. Now they are just a "solid" couple entering finals, but nothing really interesting. I guess, most of amatuer couples, even top ones, lack some kind of sophistication that only the best professional couples have, and it becomes evident when they start dancing together side by side. I've never particularly liked Sasha and Klemen for this reason - for me they were never elegant enough, looked kind of too simple in their style. But I know a lot of people adore them, so let it be my personal perception.
@@Maria_Fomina Agree with you. And with WDC and Donnie Burns. It is important for everybody to calm down, and ask how dancers can be responsible for a war. It is stupid and ugly to blame completely innocent human beings whose devotion in life is peaceful dancing, the creation of brotherhood. it is necessary for everybody to be ashamed of the senseless persecution of dancers. Big shame to Blackpool Open. In fact, NEVER during many years of napalm and enormous deaths in the Vietnam war, did anyone accuse dancers of being responsible and sanction dancers. Same during TWENTY YEARS of very brutal war against a remote country, Afghanistan. And two brutal invasions in Iraq. And in Libya. And Syria. And the US invasion 1961 of Cuba. And the 1982 British invation of the Falkland Islands outside Argentina. Even Adolf Hitler´s brutal regime in Germany DID NOT result in any boycott of THE BERLIN Olympic Games, with Hitler personally greeting each winner on stage and on live TV. Now, in a sudden, dancers and tennis players and orchestra leaders and pop singers are boycotted because of a war !!! Boycotts of arts and sports is disgraceful and must be condemned. In my country who gives the Nobel Peace Prize, the most prestigious award in the world, Mr. Donnie Burns is going to be officially nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize, because of his COURAGE and WISDOM, in rejecting any boycott of Russian dancers in WDC events. He is a true legend and now also a legend for world peace.
I have no idea why Valeria is dancing with Kirill when her husband is 100% a better dancer and more committed than Kirill. Kirill has zero floorcraft skills and a bad attitude.
So sad to see this. Spliting couples into different federations had such a impact on quality level of this year blackpool.
Instead of one good blackpool, we got two terrible ones. They are going to be responsible for killing the sport. i wonder if the blackpool organizers are proud of themselves.
