This new crop of standard dancers are great. They exaggerated the movements, volume, space, sways and quickness, expressing the music to the extreme. Yet they are right on the beat. When look back to the days of Hilton, Woods, Siskinson, Hawkins, Wilkinson, etc., this new crop took the ballroom (standard) dance to another level.

very good love ballroom especially standard

Fantastic

yes.

It's very cool!

I agree it's very quick.

Totally agree

Наш Дмитрий Жарков просто неподражаем.Очень аккуратно танцует!

parece que os caras tem mau hálito, porque as mulheres viram tanto a cabeça que parece que ela vai cair

The Quicksteps are speeded up...

did knovaltsevs do a samba reverse roll in the slowfox? :)

Well, I agree: We definitly need new music.

Techno-Waltz? Should be interesting. And would be enough for all five dances.

I see the difference you're talking about, but I can't say I really prefer the new crop of amateur dancers. It's impressive and on time, but at the same time it looks very brittle to me, not as elegant. I guess that is the 'sport' part, but I like the focus on the 'dance' that I see in Hilton, Woods, Baricchi, Bizokas...to each his own ;)

도쿄 선수권

no

Sorry, but is that the direction we want to move to? To often I don't see, what I hear! Smooth and partly sad Waltz-music is run down, Tango looks like snatching and not passionate. Viennese Waltz does not swing anymore in cause of breaking figures and Slow Foxtrott does not flow. Never forget: "Dancing is music made visible"! - And the current trend takes us away from this principle.
