i know you guys would think i'm weird, but i actually cried watching this (and i do cry easily). i guess it just moved me. haha :) kudos to Gregory and Tommye!
this is Gregory Day & Tommye Giacchino, probably about 12 yrs ago at the Ohio Star Ball which was broadcast on PBS as Championship Ballroom Dancing. Thx to the poster. LOVE this routine!!! Loved seeing it again after all these years.
Yes they are dancers, but their division is different from others. Their routines will always be mainly about lifts and strength but with a few dance moves in them and when competing they will be judge on that.
in ballroom, this is a division called Theater Arts. in other competitions, it is also called Cabaret. lifts are allowed/required. not an easy division. as you can see, much dance training makes for amazing artistry. i believe Gregory had an extensive ballet background.
Artistry hard to beat...but those tacky shorts of hers make such perfection-in- motion look like a quick-dance in some Tennessee redneck joint. She qualifies for the new European C-String...Otherwise might as well have Elvis on stage draped in a potato sack. Go ahead..Key-up "Fling" on you tube, or "Mercy O'brien and Peter La Fox Blue Adagio"...See how dress-for-action boosts such perfection far ahead!!
