2009 Blackpool Dance Congress Max Kojevnikov Beata Part1

[superstarbrian]

Their WCS is getting better!!!

[MzPlaneta]

I watch this over and over! Thank you!

[lyanra]

This is a new show dance version of west coast swing made by their friends and their west coast swing teachers Jordan Frisbee & Tatiana Mollmann: watch?v=340799kbLNA

The music is Jack Johnson - "Sexy Plexi"

This is not as good as professional west coast swing dancers, but I like Max & Beata mixing up with int latin.

[petradance]

it sounds like a soft cha cha beat:)

[cynthiroshka]

hey guys this is a dance called west coast swing and the song is jack johnsons "sexy plexi" - quite romantic and expressive. you can also check the video on beata's homepage. i think they prepared the song for japans world super stars dance festival in japan

[VIVAdancerful]

music is rumba,but its not rumba LOL :D

[SadKumquat]

It's not diluted, just interpreted differently. Jordan and Tat gave their blessing for Max to use their stuff.

[yuanzzi]

i think maybe it is a song from jack johnson?

[nukotik]

anybody know the name of the song/?:-s

[ssyie001]

So what if it's not latin dance, it's beautiful and expressive and it's still dance! I love that Max and Beata are exploring other dance forms, not just Int'l Latin. They are merging styles, blurring the lines and it's creating something new and fantastic!

[kcballroom]

That sums it up. Thank you!

[hejaful]

music is amazing! i love it

but it is not latin dance..

[kcballroom]

What is ? Jive ? -))

[hejaful]

i really don`t know, something between samba and jive maybe?

[lace1990]

west coast swing

[jorgefoxtrot]

yes its a rumba come on get with it lol

[seravi]

@hejaful This particular lecture was about Show Dance. Max and Beata tell their process of creating a piece of show dance.

They sped up "Sexi Plexi" and danced West Coast Swing to it. Then they slowed it down and danced Rumba to it. (see part 2: watch?v=I7QHhe6D_xU )

[parkourUA]

white socks r awesome!! u losers!

[kcballroom]

Get a mirror an look at it? See? That's a looser!

[chamcham212]

I don't like white socks, Beata!!!

[Zjannn]

While you could see amazing dancers, the only thing you can see are white socks?

[chamcham212]

Who said the only thing I saw this video is her white socks. That's your word.

[chamcham212]

The question is as a couple these two can make top 6, not Beata. Beata was a AM champion before.

[kcballroom]

Beata was always in top 5 with Ventik in Pro. The question is not if they reach the top or not, the question if they want to compete. I can assure you THEY DON"T and never will compete.

[chamcham212]

I am not asking if they will compete or not. They will not. I am answering for the question what if they compete and they would make top 6 or not.

[chamcham212]

Saw them practice this routine, but honestly it was not that impressive.

[chamcham212]

I don't think they will make top 6.

[rtnietini]

i think they should compete again, i'm sure they have a pretty good chance to be on the top 6

[kcballroom]

No They do not and they will not compete again. They found themselves a much better and place among Professionals. They are True Artists and that's all they want to be.

[mehsheep234]

Actually I think they do have a pretty good chanse.

[dancerworld]

No offense, but this "routine" is a diluted copy from the World West Coast Swing Champions Jordan Frisbee and Tatiana Mollman. I think the year is 2007 that it was originally danced.
