Ben Morris & Melina Ramirez WCS Routine at 2008 UCWDC Worlds

[LaSarenea]

I saw them perform this,,,how many yrs ago...? Well its 2011 & I still dream of pieces in this routine/song. Its just SEXY!

Slower songs can be exponetially more difficult because you have to fill the space between the beats. It is often said of musicians that it is not how you play the notes, it is how you play the space between the notes. Many dancers struggle with what to do with their arms once they have placed their balance on a particular foot. A suggestion to Ben rotate your spine and bring R or L rib toward Melina to avoid the awkard split weighted lean/reach as you anchor her on 7&8

[DanceVidaSweden]

Still is my favorite!!!

[DanceVidaSweden]

Still been my favorite!!!

[mrapina]

i have to agree with LoveLady718 the lady's costume was distracting and made her look bigger because of the colors. She is not fat or anything but it made her look fat. the routing was FABULOUS !!!!!

[whdominicandon]

that was hot

[NikolasK88]

I love latin dancing, but for some reason this impresses me even more than most latin dancers

[zouqueira]

Please, the name of this song!!!!

[odin6153]

the name of the song is "thinking about you (can't stop)" by Martin Sexton. He is a genius and no one knows of him. check out his live wide open album.

[Junkiezzz]

One of my favorite WCS routines ever! The musicality of it all is just crazy, I love the whole shebang.

[shirine]

Amazing dancing, But that costume I just don't get. Not the greatest wardrobe choice, but their dancing was excellent.

[chib1]

@shirine Yeah it really distracted me, and not in a good way.

[Sinnawai]

Have they used this routine in a classic because im telling you it wouldve won if they didnt

[LovelyLady718]

Ay por dios quien le hizo esa ropa a ella?. encima que es horrible no la favorece en nada a su figura

Ben & Melina will be performing at the Red Carpet Dance Event in Chicago on May 10, 2008. It's going to be a great show because top dancers from Ballroom, Salsa, Hustle and West Coast Swing will be putting on a show, which includes an International Recording Guitarist and an International Recording Vocalist and a fashion show with dinner, etc. I will definitely be there to see them, along with Kyle & Sarah, Silvana & Billy Marti and others. Vist Jozsef Parragh's website.

[Shiskimo23]

Wow! I couldn't help but continue watching. It was sexy and romantic- thats not something that I usually associate with west coast swing. I just hope the keep setting trends in this particular style of dance. Thanks for posting.

[austin3196]

[savoyboyben]

It's Can't Stop Thinkin About You by Martin Sexton
