Whoops, sorry! I watched 0:22 - 0:24, didn't recognize I was at the wrong position in the video! :)
Yap, now I understand what you just said! And you're right, i also think they dance reserved due to the basic variations! Still impressive! :) I really adore Franco. Oh, and talking about not overstraining, at 3:02 they begin with their actual routine, and look at those whisks!!! Awesome!
These are stationary samba walks on 0:20-0:22, not voltas :) IMHO they simply do not overstrain themselves with max movement amplitudes in the basic variations.
These are Voltas, they are danced with connection from the rearward knee to the front hollow of the knee, therefore they can't have the amplitude of samba walks! But I also guess, that it's an interpretation of Franco and Oxana to have a visible contrast between none bounced voltas to hip accentuated backrocks! But that's just my incidental opinion ;) I'm sure both are able to dance very grounded and heavy bounced voltas, if intended!
God damn they are good ;-)

Maybe it just me but some steps lack amplitude, e.g. walks on 0:21-22.

I don't think Formica will ever be rid of those whisks of his...
