hmm was the japanese overtaking?

[EmbraceDance1]

yeh..

[grifhinx]

ok. better question: was that rude or what?

[EmbraceDance1]

id say so cause if you look (only a glimpse) (just as they start to follow tall chinese,) the jap hits matt/anna (aussie), basicly the japense cut the couple in green off.. so id say it was rude.

[prufrock]

how does one figure that? matt/anna went into rev turns on the short wall, which's always inviting other couples to pass you. Since they were trailing afterwards, then tried to power through the natural turns to catch up to the movement of the japanese couple, they were likely the "hitters" and not the hittee.

[grifhinx]

apparently they were great here. sure wish that every dancesport competition had great footage like this.

Haha as a dancer I should comment on the dancing but I couldn't help noticing that the cameras were awesome, followed the dancing nicely so we could watch ^_^
