les "danseurs" ne savent plus s'habiller

Depends on the social dance. Blues exchanges can devolve into that pretty fast. I mean, it's not actually leg-grinding, but it looks like it to a casual observer, because you're leading a lot of things with your legs.
I probably spent about three hours last night (cumulatively, it was a 7.5 hour dance) "leg grinding" with total strangers.

i love the song? who is it and which song?
-
you just don't go out social dancing-have someone (a stranger) ask you to dance, then start grinding on his leg.

Actually Vanessa has a pretty extensive background in Lindy Hop, especially two years ago, it was far more primary than Blues. As to the leader his carriage and timing is much more Westie than Blues or Lindy, but that doesn't say enough to me to say one way or another...
In short don't assume someone criticizing a video is a snob. In this case JBL is certainly at least half right and more than likely mostly correct. They didn't say it was *bad* dancing.

Yeah. Cheesy, overly rehearsed performances definitely detract from the beauty of improvisational dances. I'm glad to see that the passion carries through.

You can say the same about any social improvisational dance. None of that is unique to Blues in any way shape or form... though I would say blues and all those other socially oriented improvisational dances are not about emotional intimacy. That may be what you enjoy about it (understandable) but that isn't what the genre is about.

"Contrary to popular belief, Blues Dance is not automatically about sex. It is automatically about emotion, Intense Emotion. It is very personal and intimate... Blues dancing is an intimate expression or conversation between dancers that can be personal, spiritual, and emotional in ways that verbal communication fails. When done correctly, Blues Dancing can be one of the most rewarding and indescribable experiences any level of dancer can have."
