Beyond words. Loved that the routine used an enchanting song in its entirety and did not change to another tempo or song. One continuously mood and story. nice to see the dancers reaction following the incredibly beautiful dance. Emotional for them and me. Thank you.
I just did that too...LMAO.... I love to see him dance, he draws you in with every turn, twist, flips and lifts.... Just simply amazing. I loved watching him every since SYTYCD.
I can't believe someone actually wanted to make a negative comment on their costumes when the routine so outshone the threads. That was so beautiful and seamless, almost a ballet or contemporary dance rather than West Coast of old. I miss the old style but welcome the innovations that keep pushing the craft to new heights. Fabulous. No wonder they won!!
With all the twists, turns, flips and lifts... there was no room for loose clothing... So i agree with their choice, maybe couldve been a lil different, but still i loved it !!
You guys are absolutely amazing. Have been following Benjis work for a while and he is one of my biggest inspirations. ♥♥ can anyone tell me the name of the music please?
Dance changes and evolves. It was the winning routine from the Showcase division of US Open Swing Dance Championships. No denying the talent, physical ability and artistry of the dancers. A panel of esteemed judges chose the winner and they were the winners!
I think this routine certainly stretches the boundaries of WCS...Its certainly not the most classical WCS but thats what the best dancers do... They stretch and create new paths for the rest of us. Kudos to all the champions like Benji & Nicole!
Everyone is entitled to an opinion. It's their dancing and art. I have great respect for what they do (I can't do it lol) It for sure is pushing the envelope for WCS but that's what champions do :-)
Very mature dance. I love how much he has grown and I am so glad he is still dancing. Loved it.
Just on another level!

Its quite the emotional journey for the dancers at the Open. Its part of what makes it so fun and exciting!
Not sure what brought me back to watching this for about the hundredth time at 2am, but whatever...I'm happy.
Isn't it great!
Amazing. I just applauded from behind a computer screen.
Ha... thats exactly what I did too!

I agree. We are not qualified to criticize the best!
Thanks for a beautiful routine. Who do we blame for the outfits?
I'm not going to agree or disagree LOL If you can dance like that I guess you can do what you want! ;-)

I agree with you 100%.
The costumes are amazing! They're like stone - just like the song, love them
I love watching Benji dance, one of my favorites....
He is pretty darn amazing!
He is SO GOOD!
He is amazing!
This was beautiful.
They are something else!

Dancers are athletes of the gods ;-)
Thank You.

Awesome!

Spectacular!
They are the champs for a reason!

He's the best!
Breathtakingly beautiful.
SOOOO GOOD right?!?
pretty nice!
Not bad right!!!
C'est de la danse ? ou de la gymnastique acrobatique ?
Il s'étend sur les limites de swing ouest caost pour sûr, mais c'est ce que font les champions.
How can you call that swing dancing. That won 1st Place?

It's quite clearly west coast swing, did you not see the triple steps and anchors? It DESERVED first place.

Dance Louisville I completely agree with your comment. Benji and his partner look incredible together. what a great routine .
wow he put on some muscles for this. big jump for him.
He is a pretty athletic guy!
I love Benji, but what was he thinking with that outfit?
When you are that good you wear what you want!
Benji is most certainly his fathers son. I also love the dickens out of Lacy too!
I love watching them both!
More like free style than West Coast. Who do we blame for the choice of music?
I'm not sure we get to 'blame' anyone for the choice of an artist.
I love the concept....
Great routine but the song playing doesn't feel like a match....
It is the song I promise. 😊
To much like acrobatics. I can go to the circus and see this. Very talented but not put to go use in my opinion. It doesn’t even match the much.
