I just discovered West Coast Swing for the first time today, and have been glued to RUclips for hours. It's been amazing to watch you grow through the various years of Improv dance videos you've posted, Ben Morris, and this was the final climax of them all -- the most recent and the most impressive! WOW!!! I'm going to share this with everyone I know. Wish I'd discovered this kind of dance a long time ago. You are an inspiration.
My wife and I were there - our 13th Open we have attended in a row. Sunday night was awards night. The top five couples were announced in reverse order. When Ben and Jennifer were announced for third place the entire crowd stood on their feet and yelled and clapped for minutes, realizing they were robbed. As they say, you had to be there.
It is sadly always very subjective, espc. the top 5. Different judges different ranking, it has always been like this in dancing, no matter the dance. But I think some judges didnt like the newer way of thinking about shared leading, and Jennifer De Luca is a great example of a follower pushing the dancer further in this regard.
After watching I was amazed not to see a "champions" or "first place" designation. What an exceptional dance this was! Gonna go watch it a few more times including in slow mo. So creative, so well conceived and so well executed!
Jenny DeLuca knock my socks off every time. That girl can DANCE!!!!!! WOW! The timing, musicality and execution of these two was flawless. Top drawer all the way.
I like this routine much more now. There are a few tweaks I love, especially the rewind---head roll toward the beginning. It is just "neater" now--seamless and tighter-like fine musicians. Really excellent work. I tell my students that writing is rewriting. So seems dancing choreo. :D
Very very very Good. They are really great couple. i admire their dancing and choreography, Mr. Ben Morris are really there for her and Ms. Jen Deluca trust him somuch. Congratz guys.muah!!!(",)
Several of you asked about songs. I might miss one here cause my friend Remy did the music for me but I think the order is I'll Hurt You Look At Me Now Don't Touch Me Look At Me Now Touch It Break Ya Neck
in my opinion, You guys should have so won 1st. Very creative, energetic and original. Only people that may have held a candle to you guys is Markus Smith and Trendolyn just because of the style and even that is a big Maybe with this routine specifically
2024 and still one of my all time favorites! The two of you are (were) just incredible!
Ok, for real is this one of the BEST showcase pieces for WCS I've ever seen. The footwork is so clean and slick! LOVE IT! PROPS TO YOU AND JENN!
I keep returning to this video ❤ It's what made me take up West Coast Swing 😊
By far my favorite classic routine. Watching you and Jen dance is always amazing.
Best ballroom and hip hop mix I've seen so far!
