American Waltz - look Kate Zeigler & Sam Rashba doing it for beautiful exten

sions?

[GeoffBowers]

I think that the high extensions are great. They might not have been perfect here, but not that far away, (IMHO) that it detracted - far from it. To see how it looks at peak search for examples of the American Waltz...?

I certainly enjoyed this and thought the addition of high extensions made it much more attractive to me.

i learned this dance today :) its fun, but im not an ice dancer so it probably looked bad haha

@AWpimpz well im sure the boy isn't named michela, so he must be jordan

[KastenEvans]

The exaggerated leg extensions are beautiful! I can hardly wait to learn this dance (currently working on the Willow). Thanks for the example & inspiration!

I thought it was very distracting, because their leg line didn't match. Very nice otherwise.

[AWpimpz]

is jordan the girl or boy? beccause my name is exactly Jordan Cowan

Their dance actually looks much more "waltz" than Schneider and Griffin's, and not because of the leg extension (which is indeed a bit overdone), but because of the body swing & expression. Finally a waltz that looks like, well, a waltz!

I actually found it started to get annoying (exaggerated leg)

[pfcsoton]

Does anyone like that exaggerated leg movement? ... surely there must be ways of improving the dance style without such ugliness?
