  • They are dancing 'in' the music. This song has a funky beat to dance to and accents to play with. Play 5 different songs, and you will have 5 different looking dances! That is the beauty (and improvisation) of west coast swing.

  • This was really pretty brilliant. I like how even the dancing was and how playful...How they both worked off each other, no suprise really, Ben and Jessica...pleasure to watch

see all

  • This is in my top three of my favorite Ben improvs... This is so amazing that I can hardly fathom someone beating them in this comp. Great job Ben and Jessica! :)

  • they use a lot of flair, you have to know your partner for some of that.

  • It will take you about 7 years to get half as good as them, if your a good dancer and a good learner. It looks easy, that's one of the things that makes them so good. Its not! But the fun is taking the ride and learning. Its so fun!

  • I love this dance...it's sexy and slinky...I'm inspired to start taking classes this week. I can't wait to get half as good as they are! Very nice!

  • They took second ! You've got to be kidding.....who was first ? This guy is sooo good !

    He's got all the moves and more !

  • @knotgifted they're just little things you pick up mostly from other styles of dance. you can incorporate a lot of hip hop and even ballet into west coast swing and spice things up. other than that it's syncopations and tricks you just learn as you go

  • That's the job of the lead, to frame the lady and make her look smooth.

  • we'll be learning west coast swing in a few weeks; was curious if anyone knew any videos demonstrating how to learn those sliding moonwalk-like grooves the lead is doing?

  • We're all watching her, but Ben is making it all happen with the lead. Morris is a WCS god.

  • j'adore
