UCWDC Country Dance World Championships was held January 2009 at Disney World in Orlando. These are the top professionals competing in Showcase Masters dances which include several dances like 2-Step, Waltz, Triple Two, Swing, Cha Cha and more. Showcase dancers get their music ahead of time and choreograph to it. They are allowed to do lifts, drops and tricks that classic masters are not allowed to do. http://www.UCWDCworlds.com
@tripletwostep I can see I've two-stepped all over your ego. I absolutely do not doubt the skill involved in your kind of dancing, or the talent necessary to do it and to do it well. It is a form of dance, much more akin to ballroom - Dancing With The Stars - than it is to country. It relates to country like fox hunting does to calf roping. Less... because at least both of those activities involve the outdoors. All hat and no cattle... and you fairly well know it. That's what pisses you so

@sailiraq I have a friend who is a rancher & oilman in east Texas & in his late sixties he competes in C&W. Look at Ty Murray more of a cowboy than you'll ever be & he had 2 left feet but he got better on dancing with the stars. In fact he said it was one of the hardest things he had ever tried. Sarah Evan grew up on a farm so she is a cowgirl & she has said she would love to go back on dancing with the stars. You on the other hand have a hang up about your dancing being the only way! Sad

@sailiraq I hear what your saying that your dancing is the only way that all others forms of dancing are stupid. I also hear you say your better than everyone else & more manly. I hear you putting down these people you what they do I challenge to try it. I bet you would fail at it. The bottom line is your a jerk & narrow minded & will always find fault with anyone. There are eight dances in the UCWDC & to do them well takes a gifted person. Are youtalented to handle something new?

@tripletwostep Does the word country ever come to your mind when you're talking about country dancing? Lawyers, movie producers? I haven 't tried a law case or been in a movie, but I rode my first bull when I was 16 (and my last one when I was 48) roped a few calves and steers, baled a lot of hay and earned the right to wear my hat... and I've broken up a few bar fights. Sorry bud but the guys in this video don't look like they've ever stepped in cow shit. And if they did they'd say... ewwww.

@tripletwostep I watched again as much of this video as I could without throwing up in my mouth, and it's dumber than I remembered. This is contest ballroom dancing with a cowboy hat on. It's like calling Rogers and Hamerstiens's version of Oklahoma, Oklahoma. My wife agrees. We went to Gruene Hall last night, the oldest dance hall in Texas and YOU would have been laughed off the dance floor with moves like in this video. Oh yeah, but what do they know about country dancing?

@sailiraq I guess you think it's manly to hurt a girl on a dance floor like those other honkytonk dancer. All so this is not ballet you don't see the men wearing tights. I think your to stupid to know the difference anyway. I have meet most of these men & they are gentlemen. But push comes to shove they could kick your butt, is that manly enough. Plus I am for sure they are smarter than you & 2 of them are lawyers & have been in a movie or 2. The third couple has produced a movie have you?

@sailiraq Also that honktonky dancer asked a friend to do east coast swing with him. When he danced with her he just jerked her from place to place finally dropping her on her face. Thank God she was not hurt to bad, because a year before she had just finished chemotherapy. I have a instructor who has 3 rules have fun, be cool & be safe. This dancer & other honkytonk dancer who have had not had lesson were I go try to do dangerous stunts all most hurting or hurting the girl or someone else.

@sailiraq I"ve been dancing 40 years the last 21 taking lessons. The last 6 has been with some master level dancers. There is a honkytonk dancer who dances & talks the same way as you. But alot of times the girls that are smart tells him it hurt to have his hand on her shoulder so he put it behind the shoulder blade like the master teach. He hates it but know it's the only way they'll dance with him. All the dancing I do these days is lead & follow no routines.

@tripletwostep I've danced in dance halls and honkytonks in OK,TX, NV, CA, TN (the worst), CO, WY, for 30 years. Began in OK by getting out on the dance floor. In OK it was man's hand on a gal's shoulder and she draped her wrist over his arm, Texas was hand around waist, and in OK they did a two-step but in Dallas they did a triple step. Both places did a double-shuffle, in OK they called it the Texas 2-step in TX called it the double 2-step. Don't tell me I don't know what C&W dancing is.

@tripletwostep - I 've seen the dance masters like you twirling their own asses and pointing their toes and dancing their memorized dance "routines", and I guess what I should have said is it's just too damn effeminate looking. I like for a man to lead the woman and spin her, and spin "with her in his arms" but look like a man while he's doing it. It ain't ballet for chrissake. And as for being booed off the dance floor... in 35 years I've had a lot of compliments, but nobody's booed.
