[koolkody9947]

I didn't know you would be allowed to use a chair in a strictly. It was awesome though!!!

[blackberrypatch]

The first few times I watched this, I was only watching Benji and Patty and thinking that they were awesomel together. Then I went back and looked for reactions from the dancers - there are some prudes in the bunch lol

[godjenton1]

the song is called tierd of beeing alone

and it's original song is by Al Green :)

[sallymaus16]

can anybody tell me the name of this song ?!

after all, brilliant dancers, lov'em..

[salserops]

Doug, you've gotta post more videos of Patty. There is hardly any around. Her musicality class at my first WC convention in Palm Springs, is by far my absolute favorite class I've ever taken. As a beginner, I got more out of her class than any other I've taken.

Need to post more of her videos.

All I can say is WOW! These two make the WCS look so easy. So smooth!

[texeddieguerra]

Yes this is all improv, it's Jack & Jill which means random pairing of people in competition. Not normal dance partners, and no set routines. All flow as you go.

@texeddie:

This is really all improv?!?! How long did they know who they were going to dance with and what music? 5 minutes? earlier that day? did they have ideas for it beforehand? This wasn't choreographed at all? It's unbelievable. Unbelievable. Benji is awesome, slightly out of his usual character here.  And Patty moves like mercury to this song. One last word: wow.

[blackberrypatch]

The sidebar says it's strictly. They chose to be partners.

[pobrano]

were they improvising ?

[GirlGeek00]

Love his nod to Travis on the 'chair slide' :D

[GODISLOVE5678]

Great dancing with the use of a prop

[smoothdancer31]

Nice one... I really like how they play with the chair. good job!

[shypatty]

BENJI...You rule!! I just hope I get to see you on the show this year choreographing a dance routine. I hate that your name hasn't even been mentioned yet. You're the BEST dancer the show has ever had, come one, do a routine like this one as part of the entertainment and it will be a show stopper! I think your legs are rubber!!

[gentleradical]

Love, love Benji!!!! Thanks for posting this!!

[plutoisadancer]

And the chair! LOL!

[Riixox]

i wish i was a swing dancer. i think id b e pretty,, danceable [?]

[grandcarriage]

That was fantastic. A really great a matched paring and use of a prop.

[Darkina85]

he's so sexy!

[nurse6000]

well he dances sexy. he's not very sexy looking.

[tryxr4kids]

I don't think thats very fair. A guy can be just a normal looking guy and if hes good with something and confident about it, some (quite a few that I know of) women find them very attractive. For instance, for me it's singing and dancing. A guy who can do either, or better yet BOTH, are automatically pretty sexy. However, this is only my opinion, so I don't expect it to be true for everyone. :)

[smoothjivefusion]

Great fun...

Whose version "Tired of being alone" is this?

[ajmosher]

I believe it is Rory Block who sings this version. She is not very well known but I absolutely love it!

[calen27]

nice!

[heavengurl06]

WOW!!! great dance moves.
