"They've beaten all of todays best ranked professionals already."

Oh? So they won UK or did I miss something?

Also, what I'm talking about is relative speed. They look super fast here because there is no equivalent couple dancing next to them. If you look at the UK open semifinal videos they don't look nearly as this fast.

@AceyBlade Eugene and Maria are true to themselves and the music. Call it professional, call it amateur, call it athletic or gimmicky if you like. It is musical, expressive and unique... and thats all it needs to be.

They look amazing because they ARE amazing. They've beaten all of todays best ranked professionals already. They placed 2nd in one of the strongest amateur BP finals of all time.

Time will remember them to be true champions. Just like Allan and Vibeke deserved to be.

And then you realize that aside from M&J there has not been another couple in about ten years that has done well with gimmicky dancing.

@AceyBlade i think michael and joanna are also "athletic" and they are world champions so don't think this kind of dancing doesn't fit in the professionals... they are still amazing and i still love them also as professionals;)

I love the way they have the whole floor to themselves, literally and technically. ARGH too bad the judge was blocking!!

[AceyBlade]

Sadly, the dancing world doesn't quite work like this. They are professional dancers now and this is amateur dancing at its best. They won't make it with this kind of "athletic" style in professionals.

Plus, they look amazing here because there are no other couples of their level dancing next to them.

[oop1991]

they are my favourites!! their choreography is simply the best!! i love their choreography in all 5 dances!

[1888junkteam]

[niiCkje]

And 1 more thing: for some reason I love the move that Eugene is doing from 0:35-0:44.  Before the jokes start, I AM male and I AM straight, I just love that move.
