Absolutely magical, how you managed to improvise this jewel!
This couple is so good together!
I cant stop watch her(even when she is behind him). She is amazing, famous and out of the earth. Truly unbelievable.
But he make her to shining so bright is a GOD.
So awesome!
Two brilliant dancers - amazing!!
Amazing dancers ....love you guys 💖
What a magical collision of Ben Morris, RUUUUTZ and Rickie Lee Jones: All Star Joint. Glory!
It can't get any better than this---just SO WONDERFUL!!! They are both amazing dancers, JUST BECAUSE--THEY BOTH ENJOY DANCING, and it's delicious to watch! OH MY YES!!! slo-d
Amazing. One of my favorite. So crisp.
Ugly dance
Ben is awesome!!!
I love that tunes !!!
Pure joy to watch. Glad I discovered it while perusing videos from Katie Boyle & Jason.
i just attended the monterey swingfest and i was sooo lucky to have these two as my dance instructors!!!
I was minding my own business researching investing in Brazil. Via some strange Googlation I landed on a video of Melissa Rutz dancing with Ben Morris in Brazil. HELP! I can't stop watching Melissa dance, over and over. I've now found probably every web video of her (about 90 so far). Does anyone else have this affliction? I need to get on with my life. If only to escape this computer and follow in the footsteps of the goddess of my new religion and take lessons in beginning West Coast Swing :-) Hope she comes up Seattle way again.
KamasDancer I've found myself experiencing the same thing as of an hour ago - Did you find a way out?!
Stacy McCarthy No, the malady stayed with me. I just managed to "manage" it. I still UA-cam-google Melissa regularly. Ben Morris and Robert Boyce are also awesome. But for lightning fast creative "following", Melissa takes the cake! I fear a recent lumbar injury will now prevent me from continuing with WCS as much as I was hoping. Time will tell.
KamasDancer Oops, I forgot Robert Royston's name. I'm still under a spell...
Yes she is really good I have watched here for nearly also many years she is and stays good
They sure are inspiring. I'm a dancer and used to be a teacher but these two are in a whole nuther world. I love to dance but will never be this good. Mellisa is so cute a sexy; Ben is great; this was the gods messing with our minds alright.
This is inspiring me to learn West Coast. Incredible. Its a Jack & Jill competition but they have obviously danced together before.
Eric Clapton and Rickie L. Jones
Ben... dude.... you're a monster, really... I wanna be just like you when I grow up
Maxence was dancing with Melissa prior and his Knee cap popped out in the middle of the dance and he went down in excruciating pain. they took him in the back and it popped itself back in on its own about 10 minutes later. They wheeled him out and had some volunteers making sure he didn't get hurt and that's why Ben slid towards him. Maxence was killing it before had. Was a really well thought out dance to.
beautiful
So glad the sound's back! Great job
This was my favorite JnJ dance ever. Now that I know the back story, it is so much better. I didn't even notice Maxence there before.
This was awesome. Another favorite is, Bradford Whelan and Torrie Zzaoui German Open Show 2017 to Fergie. In front of her hubbie. Never gets old. 🍿
so good
Melissa is the most musical girl in the biz.
💋😷❤❤❤❤❤ J' A D O R E en plus sur de la musique d'Éric d'Éric Éric Clapton c'est top.👍🏻👍🏻
Wish I had known about this...love to watch in person!
super sympa !!!
sorry my lack of education you dance a lot I love dancing for 19 years I do not dance and miss the dance made me very happy
these guys are great...too be young and having fun!
Très joli !!!!
I wish the regular sound was on this vid. I love to hear the crowd reactions to the dancers. It's not as much fun to listen without it.
❤❤
The video of this dance with music is on Ben's profile on facebook.
I'm brazilian
I want to dance with Ben :)
I wanna slap the person who disliked this video.
They obviously both know the second song very well.
IF Ben had this all choreographed in his head and he just lead her through it he would still be a genius mastermind. If he just pulled these moves out of his hat than he is nearer to superhuman status. He knows Melissa and what she will probably do with his moves,,, I suspect they have rehearsed some to that song ,which in no way lessons my respect for this performance. Whatever the circumstances that brought them to that song at that moment ,,, MELISSA ,,, Goddess status.....she owned it, invented it, inspired it. Ben, you have snatched the pebble from my hand with your eyes closed, you have caught the fly with chopsticks now you are ready,,, the next test ,, walk on water
2:40 is hot. love it!!!
awesome even without music
You hear music, you interpret with a dance. A true dancer doesn’t have to think about, they just move. These two feel the music and just dance it.
What a BS comment. Years of hard work and building up tons of muscle memory plus obviously high talent in this case gave them room to not think about steps, but listen to the music. Nothing anyone does to a high skill level "just comes from being a true whatever" ... it is always hard work getting there.
If I'm not mistaken this is closer to country swing...? Very smooth though. Like it.
idk about you guys but i get music :)
what's the back story?
what song is this there because there is no sound, but great dancing!
I love a good spot turn. I'm still working on it...
Anyone got the name of the second song?
what is the song please?
Who is singing please ? Phank you for you answer....
Amazing! Very talented, dynamic, sexy xD
would someone tell me how I download this video?
If you haven't already, try download of www.real.com/realplayer
looks like they felt your hate and released the video!
Can you post this on Facebook so we can see it with the music?
@dt10shtr Silent night? Silence is golden? John Cage's 4'33?
F*ck WMG?
Darn. I was so hoping to watch this video so I can avoid buying the actual song from WMG. Now I have been foiled by the legal geniuses at WMG.
Must be the partner...
and so I have deleted my hate :)
With great admiration, this video was honored in my online tribute to West Coast Swing.

At this writing, here's my heartfelt hope that WCS can gain back its world-wide momentum after the 2020 Covid Pandemic is over...
All the Best,
Adam
Noooòo
