Arms and posture ruin their amazing footwork!

My teacher would walk around my school with me, going "Arms. ARMS. ARMS!" if I ever danced with those arms.

They really need to work on their arms my teacher kill me if I danced like that

They REALLY need to work on their arms... that´s HORRIBLE!!!!

their footwork is really amazing..wish I could dance like this after just 4 years (as the girl in green said)...awesome...but as it was said many times, it's a pity that their arms and posture are very very bad..

@animal9lover9 most likely water, to keep herself from slipping!!

[animal9lover9]

I really want to see them in their solo dresses!!

What was the stuff that that girl put her soft shoes in, I'm sure she wasn't supposed to be stepping in it though

[animal9lover9]

Exactly what I was going to say, their feet look good but you can't win the worlds unless you have good arms and posture.
