Wow, you guys are rough on these people. She's a student for cryin out loud! She's not a pro. It's her first showcase. Give her a break. I'm an instructor and I think she did an amazing job for her level. Come on people, lighten up!

Cyd Charisse? Gene Kelly? NO WAY!

i am qualified to talk. i am nearly sixty now. when i was in my twenties i danced in movies, in Hollywood. real movies, not bull. and you have a lot of work to do , you two, if you want to get to be halfway, halfway , decent dancers. just knowing the steps, that is not the thing, you have to study ballet, and learn gracefulness, sorry to tell you , you are too heavy, both of you. dancers need to be lighter unless you are into tap only, i see jazz and disco background, but study and practice.

[bettygoodbody]

what a disappointment. i did not think they were doing it in 2007. you too, well, the man is not light enough, nor is she. lose some weight, then man dancer, don't look at your feet, and it is not well enough rehearsed, it needs to flow, you man, are more like travolta, heavy on your feet, you look like a begineer, sorry, you need practice, and some ballet as well, in your background both of you. lady, you are doing bob fossee, not the right mode, take it graceful and softer like cyd, work at it

@Sarcasmhime yeah but this is an annoying american audience who woop and holler when someone picks their nose. They basically do it at the sexy points of the dance to cover their embarrasment. When you have a mixed audience watching strippers this also happens. One person in the audience breaks into really loud applause on their own basically to show off oh look at me appreciating certain moves what an expert i am - yeah but it ruins the music and mood u dick.

[Sarcasmhime]

@innit27 Sometimes it depends on the dance tradition people are used to. I do middle-eastern dance and yelling out encouragement during the performance is not only normal, as dancers we enjoy it as it creates a connection with the audience and makes us feel appreciated. When an audience just sits expressionless and gives back no energy I find it really tough to dance!

However if a song is very slow/quiet/dramatic I can understand how that could ruin the mood.

Enjoyable but false promise with the title.

THIS IS JULIET PROWSE...MAN UNKNOWN..DEFINITELY NOT GENE KELLY

[innit27]

why do pricks feel the need to clap really hard and woop during the performance - just watch and enjoy it and clap at the end u assholes instead of ruining it

@Crazypom2 i agree
