i understand it may just be the competition tv quality of things but i hateeeeeee how they keep lookin at the camera. it COMPLETELY takes away the pure joy that over comes most swing dancers faces when they dance. if you just took out the entire back ground and left the dancers, i would have thought they were figure skaters.
overall im just not feeling this at all. THEIR GOOD!!! i mean they really are, but compared to some skilled college kids at a small school competition, they dont compare.
Taking nothing away from the huge talent of Tori & Brenner and their ability in this dance....
For me this does not look much like the WCS that inpired me to take up this dance and sorry...but hate the track that obviously makes the dance as it is :((
Respect to those who like this though. Just my own feelings.
@Sugarfoot108 A Showcase routine does not need to be West coast swing. A showcase routine has to be a style of swing and the style that they both as better at is Shag and thats why they won. They used clean Shag and west coast in their routine. And yes the music make a good routine but the moves also have to go with the music which they did Beautifully in this routine. They allow people to see the music from their eyes.
So very proud! My favorite thing is to watch them dance! Hard work, dedication, drive, ambition, believing to achieve make dreams come true! Congratulations you two!
I've heard that Torri Smith is the first person in the history of US Open to win both the Classic and Showcase at the same time.... Classic with Benjie Schwimmer and Showcase (this video) with Brennar Goree.
@pouncer84 Never! Torri's first time competing in both and she dominated them both. Also danced in more divisions than anyone else at the open and placed in all of them. Second in Cabaret with bang bang, second in teams with the southern dozen, and 5th in wcs strictly with arjay centeno. She's only 18 and she's already this good.
taken swing to another level .strawberrys and cream the purfect match !!!!!!!!!

So, I asked Benji if he indeed choreographed this routine and his reply? "Yes I did."
Congrats Benji for another great routine.

These guys are out of control. Torri basically walked up to adult level competition and said, "Hey, all you old people. Get on my level."

whoa they beat Jordan & Tatiana. I thought they owned this category.
Congratulations Brennar & Torri. Torri won both the Classic & the Showcase at the same event! Has that ever happened before?
