Jordan @ 2:10: "Knocked it out of the park..."

[Aprinsa]

Oh, no. It skips ahead if you click on the time. Try 1:59 for what I meant.

[Aprinsa]

Beginner me needs to learn that move at 2:01. I keep seeing other people do that and need to get it.

[msshortysweets]

Amazing song, amazing dance! I wish they played more oldies at WCS dances. (60s,70s,80s,90s) I feel as if 80% of what is played is contemporary stuff, it's a rarity to hear a really great old school song.

[white5Owl]

just look and pick it up, the got ti.

[blackberrypatch]

Yes! The music is back! :D

[raprilc2]

that was fabulous...love the J&J!!

[mrdave22]

benji is THE BEST

period

[mrsmjackson1]

I wonder if NON WCS dancers can watch this vid and understand the brilliance of the timing and musicality these J&J dancers bring. Wonder if they get even a fraction what really goes into it all.

Benji on the 3rd Freedom, raising his arm to the heavens, pure bliss.

Maryanne simply pointing to her head on Think! Simple, yet so strong.

Benji knowing exactly when to lift his long leg over the handhold. Pure Schwimmer.

[Raldonado]

@mrsmjackson1, yo sí puedo verlo. Fantástico.

[vancouverism]

@mrsmjackson1

I believe some of us do understand the higher form of dancing where it's no longer about the dance but a connection to the music, your partner and the 2 interpretation to the music. ;) That's when it becomes an art form. Well at least that's what I see ;)

[heyheyparty]

Was this a freestyle??

[l5960]

This was amazing to watch. They looked like they had a great time too. I love the musicality of the dance and just the pure fun of it.

[gfunk449]

Wow... it is amazing with music!!!

[mrsmjackson1]

OMG, the music industry must LOVE this video too as they have restored the music!!! Woohoo. Thank you Aretha! It just never gets old. Have watched it over and over even without the sound.

[KMartin730]

This is the best I've seen.....I would love to do this......and to think what the kids are missing now days

[KMartin730]

WOW!!! make ya want to get up and dance....Fantastic dancing from both of you.!!

[winklerd]

This really shows what you can accomplish with lead/follow and musicality. AMAZING!

[ElaAusDemTal]

What I really love about this video is that you can clearly see - age difference doesn't mean anything if you dance and like each other!! Totally awesome chemistry and - of course! - technique!!

[brucegleason]

Benji Schwimmer and MaryAnn Nunez

[gfunk449]

I opened a separate youtube video with a performance of Think by Arethra to watch this dance, at least I can sort of envision how awesome this dance was.

[disarmsox]

I wish these corporate bullys would piss off. They are alienating their own customers.

[SweetKK29]

This is great even without the music. I hate that they muted it though. :-(

[Writespeakdance]

The song wasn't "Respect." It's "Think," by Aretha Franklin.

God. This was incredible to watch in person.

[bodyandmindliving]

what song is it?

[meicameica]

It is things like them muting the songs from a dance video that make me hate the music industry.

[mileyfan619]

this was so great & then they muted it :(

[floating]

this sux that they removed the audio

[mrsmjackson1]

I cant believe they the song is now muted. It was RESPECT by AF. Bummer. I love this video even with the music gone. :(

[mrsmjackson1]

I've watched so many WCS videos and this my favorite one. My second favorite is his dads video. ( Melissa Rutz, Buddy Schwimmer dancing to James Cotton song.) Amazing dancers.

[crystellerey]

il est magique ce mec!!!

[mylifeasachallenge]

...yes...

[mrsmjackson1]

I tell you, it just never gets old.

[mrsmjackson1]

It just never gets old.

[mrsmjackson1]

BRAVO. this is real wcs. AT its best.

[mrsmjackson1]

BRAVO. this is real wcs.

[PvtVoulge]

WOW. That was amazing.

[Nikoru1Faith2Love3]

2:22 epic sara pop up!

[JessicaJolley1981]

All I can say is "That was FREAKIN' Sweet! :0)

[amandamarieboudreaux]

All i can say is WOOOOOOOW

[redcs13ab]

that was improv, right?  BENJI is ridiculous...seriously!!! what a natural. you can tell he really loves to dance.

[mpd1967]

THINK, How awesome they are!!

[SwingboyPA]

Mary Ann Nunez still rocks...!!

[jeramygovert]

This was awesome on YouTube but electiricity in the air for this dance live was amazing. For those that didn't see it live it was truly a special moment.

[rogerinsc]

Check this out! Benji having fun and Mary Ann still having it!

[palmcc]

OMG! I have tears in my eyes and goosbumps! I was actually gasping at some of those follows as I was watching this. Of course the music is very familiar, but Mary Ann is just psychic that way. This was so fabulous. It takes a lot to get their "opponents" in a compitition on their feet--don't you love that about WCS? Thanks for posting this, which is on my list of favorites and which I'll watch many more times.

[smokeyplaces]

WOW WOW WOW Musicality & beyond! :)

[shaypepperful]

UGH! Her follow blows my mind! This was an AWESOME dance! They got the crowd going :)

[scooby384]

Love it!!

[pouncer84]

I watched this via the live stream. It was so cool. Mary Ann was so funny in the beginning. These two have J&J'd before through the years & its always interesting when when they dance.

[dbsmvps]

AAAAHHH! I LOVE IT!

[pricaguimaraes]

She is AMAZING!!!!!!

[marjandine]
