In time 1:28-1:31....A little miscommunication....I must have backed it up 30 times,and laughed...Like a Blooper real......They are excellent dancers,and I am not....Seeing a mistake every once in a while is refreshing,and somewhat funny. 5 Stars for the Blooper

[nocab1984]

the sound is not perfectly in sinc with the video. It's not the dancers.

[AvisWrentmore]

what is this song ??????????????



[Welcome2thaCirqus]

Bwaaahahaha! That's not a miscommunication. . . it's a ridiculous move leads like to lead to see how we'll get out of it. (Or if we will) And yes, the music track is off. . . Ben knows this song.

[G0eran86]

Yey the blooper was great ! She went like WTF!!!

[Centuari]

The music is a little bit off, this has nothing to do with the dance break, it's just obvious in them consistently being slightly off on every single step.

[kazabeth4]

"it is unlikely the could spontaneously match the music with a dance break."

I completely disagree with the above. Dance breaks are on odd beats and repeat themselves throughout a song. It is absolutely plausible for experienced dancers to interpret a musical break - EVEN if this is the first time of them hearing a song. In Fact I would expect it-Especially dancers like these two. I would suggest going to Jordan and Tatiana's workshop on musicality. They explain how to do this there!!!

Excellent dancing from the two of them, as always. Also agree that the music may be SLIGHTLY off. Certainly there was a break in the music that they both hit, except it seemed slightly offset with the images.

Last comment about the music - I was quite amused by the song choice. Doubtless it is a typical West Coast Swing song, except I'm a lindy hopper at heart, and a song like that would not be out of place at some of the lindy events I've been to...

[chandrataken]

the music is TOTALLY off - if you dont believe it, count to the music, and watch there feet. Doesnt match! Now you have two choice - Ben Morris and Tatiana Mollman are dancing off time, or the music track is off. I dunno about you, but Im gonna go with the music is off!

[grandcarriage]

You're probably right, now that I look at the video more closely. I just attended Bridgetown swing in PDX, and this song wouldn't have been difficult at all to plan out the breaks for.
