she does lift her heels slightly. i don't know about a "window" but i think when she steps over she is styling. i think the dance was pretty hot though.

you don't know what you are talking about. she is fantastic, jealous!

at the begin, you see one couple, she dances very pretty, but I recognize some points at her technical skills that weren't very best.

- she lefts up her feet at her spins.

- in dutch we called it a "window" that is when her arm doesn't stays 90 degrees at her turns.

- she steps over when she doesn't listen at the music.

but it does looks good.

i assume your criticism is from some dancesport discipline or ballroom.here it's about improvisation and lead-follow.Magna is superb at that.she does not just step to the basic mechanically,but rather accents the music while following,and is still fluid and maintains a perfect connection. her spinning is topnotch.try to see how amazing it is how they flow through the dance without staged moves-that's beauty of this dance. Balance and grace are not constrained by technicalities someone invents

Hahaha!!

Maybe you dutch aren´t well known for good dancers, but you´re well known for humor!

Hahaha!!!
