what is this song ??????????????

[Welcome2thaCirqus]

Bwaaahahaha! That's not a miscommunication. . . it's a ridiculous move leads like to lead to see how we'll get out of it. (Or if we will) And yes, the music track is off. . . Ben knows this song.

Yey the blooper was great ! She went like WTF!!!

[219erman]

In time 1:28-1:31....A little miscommunication....I must have backed it up 30 times,and laughed...Like a Blooper real......They are excellent dancers,and I am not....Seeing a mistake every once in a while is refreshing,and somewhat funny. 5 Stars for the Blooper

The music is a little bit off, this has nothing to do with the dance break, it's just obvious in them consistently being slightly off on every single step.

[nocab1984]

the sound is not perfectly in sinc with the video. It's not the dancers.

"it is unlikely the could spontaneously match the music with a dance break."

I completely disagree with the above. Dance breaks are on odd beats and repeat themselves throughout a song. It is absolutely plausible for experienced dancers to interpret a musical break - EVEN if this is the first time of them hearing a song. In Fact I would expect it-Especially dancers like these two. I would suggest going to Jordan and Tatiana's workshop on musicality. They explain how to do this there!!!

[plutoisadancer]

Excellent dancing from the two of them, as always. Also agree that the music may be SLIGHTLY off. Certainly there was a break in the music that they both hit, except it seemed slightly offset with the images.

Last comment about the music - I was quite amused by the song choice. Doubtless it is a typical West Coast Swing song, except I'm a lindy hopper at heart, and a song like that would not be out of place at some of the lindy events I've been to...

the music is TOTALLY off - if you dont believe it, count to the music, and watch there feet. Doesnt match! Now you have two choice - Ben Morris and Tatiana Mollman are dancing off time, or the music track is off. I dunno about you, but Im gonna go with the music is off!

[grandcarriage]

It's all pretty fantastic none the less. I don't know that the music is off track, though. The dancing is pretty close to on beat, and it's not choreographed...It's all improved. Unless they REALLY knew the song well, and were really dancing TOGETHER (which is entirely plausable with these two) it is unlikely the could spontaneously match the music with a dance break.

[MsLusty]

They most certainly could know the song well enough and interact with each other well enough to hit major or even minor breaks in the music. In fact, it is common for even much-less-experienced west coast swing dancers to hit various types of breaks or accents in the music, both together or separately.

That said, Tatiana is the master of music interpretation.

[grandcarriage]

You're probably right, now that I look at the video more closely. I just attended Bridgetown swing in PDX, and this song wouldn't have been difficult at all to plan out the breaks for.
