All the pros should be given a dressing down for this excruciating assault on the senses. That includes Derek. He wasn't dancing in or out of any of his tricks and was hauling Nicole around like a sack of potatoes. Max was doing jive kicks at one point - WTF. Someone else was attempting tandem Charleston, but just ended up kicking and flailing. The only thing that looked halfway authentic were the switches done by Evan's partner and that even struck me as over-the-top. Simply horrible.
Good lord that was atrocious! Completely abysmal "dancing" to a bad 1980's Casio keyboard "swing" demo loop. I think I just threw up in my mouth a little.
The music is horrible. Whatever gave anyone the idea that this music was 'swinging' and appropriate for a swing dance comp?? That even doesn't begin to say anything about the dancing, which is still making my eyes burn - and that goes for the 'pros' as well as the 'stars'. Ballroom dancers just DON'T GET swing...
Nicole and Derek are the best in the group, no doubt about that. They are doing the hardest style and they carry the momentum of the dance a little bit faster and their stamina last longer than the others. Vote for Nicole and Derek, they work hard and deserves to win.
What type of swing are they dancing?

This is a mockery to actual swing dancers everywhere. Why does popular dance media feel like they have to butcher our dance on live television.
