Viennese Waltz Demo (Music) by Mirko & Alessia

[teddykan1]

Mirko revolutionised international Ballroom standards by showing how the Man really can have as much body expression as the Lady.

I don't like the music - they could've done it to something so much more lively and bubbly.

There's rarely eye contact in any of the Ballroom dances, least of all Viennese Waltz. If the Man is to look at the Lady, the accepted technique is for the Lady to look away coyly. This is the basis of the dance which after all portrays the courtship ritual in a refined form.

@latinstud09 this comment should be deleted, they are not a user anymore and it's a pointless criticism

[QETDH]

Do you know the name of the song ?

[Aola1181]

@QETDH The title of the song is "Mesakukkia", performed by Jay Ungar & Molly Mason. The song can be found from their CD called "Lover's Waltz", published 1997. The song is played with accelerated tempo, as the original recording is too slow for a Viennese Waltz.

[Demian164]

weird how they ever make eye contact throughout the entire thing

[MrUnvcandy]

I've only been studying ballroom for 4 1/2 years, but to me they're awsome. If I can just be in their league, I'd be happy.

I love how everyone comments on the dancing... what about the music? I'm still liking the 'Oom Cha Cha' accompaniment :)

[sleazybtd]

I should record myself doing this with my girlfriend and post the video of us falling flat on our faces.

[GodzProX]

I believe this is more of an art, because of the personal interpretations that dancers can have, as opposed to sports. Furthermore, I believe that not just anybody can judge how good a dancer is, not like in soccer or tennis, where it's pretty obvious who is better. But I believe dancing is more intricate and deeper than that (: But that's just what I think (:

And I'm sure that Alessia would agree that she isn't perfect and can improve, but isn't that what all dancers are looking for? (:

I had ballroom dancing in college and it was a lot of fun. Haven't danced in years, but if I did most people would I think I was doing the 'klutz.'

[ossiomenainen]

Thank you for a beatiful dance and music. Where can i get that music (Cd)?

[Emilinepinkie]

@Sophie4688 the girl needs to work on techinque but its still amazing!

[MaestroAshman]

@Emilinepinkie

Work on what exactly? Could you be more specific? I assume you must have a few world championships under your belt to be commenting.....

[Emilinepinkie]

@MaestroAshman you can be doing everything perfectly but your energy is bad. And guess what??? My family has been doing this sport for over 80 years. I think I know what I am talkinga bout. (plus i showed this to my instructor A WORLD CHAMPION! and he agreed)

[MaestroAshman]

@Emilinepinkie ok, you still have not justified your argument. You are now using energy as your criticism. Energy relates to the exertion of power, in an artistic manner. Technique relates proficiency of a practical skill. So which is it?? You refer to this as a 'sport', in my opinion it is art and it will forever be art. I think Alessia has done an amazing job throughout her career. Don't post comments on people without thinking first. How many world championships do you have again?

[Emilinepinkie]

@MaestroAshman First of all I still think she should work on technique and energey. I didn't say she was bad! I said she should WORK ON IT! 1 is the worst and 10 is the best. I would rate her 9 1/2. So i didn't say she was bad.

AND I HAVE NONE, BUT I HAVE SUCCSESFULLY COMETED IN OTHER CHAMPIONSHIPS. BUT MY INSTRUCTOR HAS WON 2 or 3.

[jennytalea]

Was that a Fleckerl @:40?

[IYarD]

@jennytalea yes. reverse, than natural fleckerl

[crazybubbles18]

it looks like their dancing on clouds D: i wish i were half as good as that!

[6981487]

what is that beautiful song :) ?

[eorlas0]

@saraa49 You're blithely unaware of the fact that they were world champions and Mirko continues to be with Edita

[M5Beast]

Wow is righht

[Hiraghm]

Why does she tilt her head away from him like that? Halitosis?



[eorlas0]

@Hiraghm In the International Standard and American Smooth styles of dance, that is where the lady's head belongs for most of the figures unless shaping dictates other head movement or position.

[68yvonne]

Absolutely Beautiful and so dreamy.........

[DaddyCool1947]

I find the negative comments too funny. FYI: Mirko Gozzoli and Alessia Betti are the four-time Professional Ballroom World Champions (2005-2008). That's like the Super Bowl of dancing. The competion is a cumulative score in waltz, foxtrot, quickstep, tango and Viennese Waltz.

[Fostjak]

@DaddyCool1947 I know! Ha ha! Its like, the first thing I am going to do when I see Mirko is tell him his naturals are to fast and then continue to criticize his fleckerl.

[janihyuga]

Really shiny..

but.. It doesn't reflect the love... sorry

[peggyleiby]

As mentioned in previous comment, the tune is Metsakukkia. The recording is by Jay Ungar and Molly Mason on their Lovers' Waltz CD. The recording here has apparently been sped-up from the original recording to Viennese waltz tempo.

[MrSTYCH]

what name of the song? pleas

[Katanankantaja]

...So soft...

[duso250]

skoro ako ja  :-)

[bluedragon192]
