the guy joining at 9:14 is amazing. He has a hot and natural style (not sharp or overdone) and above his footwork goes well with the music. Well done. Who is this guy??

[Lofland000]

The video is only 9:14 long, so I don't know which guy you're talking about. The guy in the black suit is Fernando. The blond guy in greyish shirt ans white pants is another guy from Tropical Gem. The guy in a dark blazer and white pants is Juan Matos. The guy in the tank top and jeans is Vitico something (I think).

Poor girl! nobody is taking care of her. That's the very origin of any latin partner dance...  to look good but taking care of the woman first... it has been forgotten.

[Lofland000]

Burju and those guys are top international performers; that's just their style. She looks like she's having a blast. They would tone it way down for a follower who's a mere mortal.

ahynama, it's Sonido Bestial. Probably the version by Richie Ray and Bobby Cruz, but not sure.

@Odoridance  I guess the dancing is acording with the song, "Vamos bailando como bestias!!!

@mysticpuppy i mean no disrespect but not everything has to be standardized especially not in this dance and i'm just speaking for myself and my frends who i switch up with i either give or take on an ope break of after giving her a whip turn i think it works better that way if your looking to make sure you dont hurt the girl

Fernando and Burju have amazing musicality in this, especially at 5:09. Love that back walk. They really caught every nuance and made the song their own.

Burju shines brighter than the sun- pun intended! Her energy and passion can't be matched. I love it :)
