Which event was this? And did you notice another signature figure? :)

GOC 06, whatever that means.

Well, I noticed Domenico also likes to do this walk-around figure (done at the end of this routine).

If you look at my Arunas & Edita vid, I think they have 2 signature patterns where they dance in place. One involves Edita kicking her leg high into the air and the other one has Arunas doing this sort of pose during the pattern.

The "stag leap" is a ballet leap, completed with one leg underneath and one behind. I'd call these jétés, since both are extended: one in front and one behind, as per v=oHivyA_fwpA.

Yes, it is the GOC

[DaniyarA]

Terriffic Quickstep. Great new couple in

recent years. Take notice professionals.

Besides a great routine, they had good posture and footwork.

I thought their quickstep figure, which you refer to it as the "stag leap",was called the "flying Dutchmen" back in the 70's and 80's. Explained as, "FTD florist man fromTV commercial.Except this couple take it to the next level.Looks like they are performing a series of three of them right after another. They are really travelling across the floor.
