[redeemedchild24]

LOVED THAT SNAP AT 0:16 Hahahaha!! :))

[bluewaterhorizon]

the vidoe is not well taken, it doesn't show movement of the feet properly

[mayafrica]

Its not the looks My FRIENDS.....its the way you dance...........and SHE REALLY KNOW THE MEANING OF LATIN DANCING!!!

[IX19UT8O]

Yeah Melanie has put on a few extra unwanted pounds but she is still a beautiful woman and a champion dancer. With Tony she has won numerous championship titles ( United States Professional Latin Champions,Four-time North American Latin Champions, DanceSport World Cup Champions, to name a few). I remember watching them competing on PBS Championship Ballroom Dancing (they won it 3X) and then she was trim, sexy, and absolutely beautiful.

@IX19UT8O Have you ever stop to think that perhaps she is PREGNANT? And even if she is just chunky, she still is a beautiful and desirable woman.

[IX19UT8O]

@rubies6: She was not pregnant when this video was shot. I did not write she is "just chunky" you did. A few extra unwanted pounds does not make her "chunky". She is a beautiful (and desirable) woman, period. Since I dabble in ballroom dancing, I will always admire her, now or when she was heating up the ballroom floors with her hot latin dancing and winning numerous titles.

[chicanite]

Melanie still looks beautiful, love her confidence!!!

[georgewu5]

ONE THING ABOUT COUNTING. I WOULD PREFER THE INTERNATIONAL LATIN DANCER SLAVIK METHOD. INSTEAD OF QUICK QUICK SLOW, I HAVE BEEN USING 2341 FOR YEARS NOW, I LIKED IT MUCH MORE WITH 2341.

[georgewu5]

SHE IS ONE OF THE FEW LATIN DANCERS IN THE WORLD WHO COULD DO THE CUBAN MOTION CORRECTLY AND VERY SEXILY!

SO COULD HE!

NOW THAT IS VERY RARE. BEXAUSE I HAVE MET MANY LATIN INSTRUCTORS WHO DID NOT EVEN KNOW WHAT THE CUBAN MOTION WAS, NEVER MIND DOING IT CORRECTLY!

[socaltrisha2004]

They will never dance well or look good because they are out of shape. Sorry. Just a fact. But they seem to be having fun. So ba-da-bing. Ba-da-boom.

[doha13]

This is good, you are great dancers, but took away the lyrics, I can't see what you do with your legs:D

[JSBach5000]

jojo77x is a fatuous fool. Melanie is a classy lady and a divine dancer. I rarely comment about the idiots who think they know what they are talking about on youtube, but I could not let this one pass.

[Brithyll]

And I can't let this one pass, either. We're not here to call each other names, JSB. Some language can be downright insulting, no matter how much it is true. So let's stick to the tubes.

[JSBach5000]

You are right. Just because this person insulted the divine Melanie by calling her fat I should not have lowered myself to strike back. I was just mad. no excuse. thanks for bringing me back to myself. peace

[cataflaca]

She's beautiful and you can tell she has character inside and out!

[madameblueyes]

So what about her weight. She's way better than most people on expert village. So dancers aren't allwed to gain weight 10 yrs after they retire from competing? Plus she's really not that big in real life.

[honestcurio]

Their feet are never in the shot, the sound is lousy...

[jojo77x]

bad technique. Straighten your legs please.

[peskysushi]

in cuban hip motion both legs won't always be straight because you have to force the hip out that is opposite the footfall. Their technique is good here in my opinion.

[jojo77x]

Their legs are NEVER straight. Even in American style (which is what they're doing here) you have to straighten the leg after you step.

Plus she's fat.

[marsbarz333]

I'm sorry but she is WAY better than a lot of people on here trying to dance..I'm not attacking you I'm just saying that being fat or not has nothing to do with dance ability

[julin305]

I've always been a fan. So glad there are some real professionals teaching on Expert Village.

[AkaiHanabi]

Wow, it's Tony and Meridith Oo
