Both dances were such great improv that you’d swear you choreographed the whole thing. Both of you seemed to be really paying attention to each other’s cues. Leo makes it look so effortless to send you spinning and moving, yet is so respectful with partner touching. (I’ve watched a few videos where they are very handsy and I think that would just be a huge distraction) Great job, both of you. :)
AH!!! gymnastics , I should have known , what I see in his dancing is Ballet and I'll bet there are other disciplines going on there also. I've been enjoying young Leo now for at least 2 years now . He shot right up through the ranks with his background and abilities, definitely an athlete . I suspect he'll earn his way into the pro ranks with a good US Open routine if he stays in WCS and any other hurdles in life don't get in his way . I believe he's already met the 'Invitational' if not 'all-star' demands at a lot of events in Europe and even in the US , prolly all over the world except KP of course .@@ripplesandleaves
the whole performance was great. his partner has alot of charisma, and i enjoyed watching them both having fun with the choreo and enjoying themselves.
This is West Coast Swing (WCS) dancing. It's a modern child of a few different styles of dance, and often done to modern music. It's improvised nearly all of the time, meaning the two partners make up what they do as they go. The smoothness, and compression/tension is part of the defining characteristics of WCS. Thanks so much for watching!
Yes, West Coast Swing sometimes has choreographed routines, but it's almost always improvised. The two dancers communicate non-verbally through their "connection" - their hand hold, or contact on body. As you learn the dance, a really neat thing is the connection really does become a medium for a conversation about what's coming next, one partner proposing patterns, and the other partner accepting, refusing, or suggesting something else.
Oh wow, that’s me!! 😆 I had no idea this was posted! Haha. Such a fun dance with Leo!
Hey Nicole! Thank you so much for the amazing dancing. And thank you for being such a fantastic teacher too! 💜
you were so wonderful together!
Great dancing, looks like very enjoyable afternoon.
Wow, I am so impressed. You made it look so easy. So much fun to watch.

This sort of acrobatic dancing is Leo's trademark; and deservedly so. He's a remarkable athlete as well as dancer.
For sure! I had a good chat with him, and it was very interesting to hear about his background in gymnastics. nice guy too! Thanks for watching.

You make it look so easy. 🎉
It's such a joy watching you!
Beautiful choreography. The female dancer twirls so gracefully.
Leo is sooo smooth, what an amazing dancer
Why did he flip while dancing? Because he's Léo, that's why!
AMEN TO THAT!
I love watching these dancers. I makes me happy. I watch before I go to bed to destress and fall asleep feeling good inside.
"WHY Did He Flip While Dancing?" ...HA! Because HE CAN! LOL!
🤣 Thank you for watching!
the whole performance was great. his partner has alot of charisma, and i enjoyed watching them both having fun with the choreo and enjoying themselves.
Not choreo, it's Jack and Jill improv :)

He's lucky he has such a maestra
I've never seen anything like this before... I loved it. What kind of dancing is this?

@@ripplesandleaves Thankyou so much for your response and explanation. I think WCS just got itself a new fan!
❤ this video! Ex7dances an cartwheel!

Is this extemporaneous?
Yes, West Coast Swing sometimes has choreographed routines, but it's almost always improvised.

Uu
Her holey shirt is very distracting
Sorry you find it distracting. A top like that is not uncommon in dance. I think she's rocking it, FWIW.
exceptions in every crowd@@ripplesandleaves
The girl is awkward, the guy is smooth. Maybe she will get better.
And you are making this rude comment why?
because she doesn't understand what she's looking at@@ripplesandleaves
