The goal is to have a true social dance competition where leaders are leading and followers are following a fully improvised dance.

So if you were wondering why Nils & Bianca aren't dancing together in this video that is why. They were both at the event and did compete together twice in the following events:



Thank you all so much for your passionate and devoted watching! We hope to see you at ILHC 2023!

her dress. It shows off her dancing skills and also all the moves we want to see. Also, it's just beautiful.

Nils and Bianca proved that they are terrific dancers to both perform so well with “draw” partners.

Brings a smile to your face!

On a technical note: my regular dance partner is 5’2” tall. When I dance with someone significantly taller, it’s a major adjustment. Muscle memory is so crucial. Obviously, Marie is much taller than Bianca, so I am extremely impressed with how easily Nils seemed to adjust. It demonstrates what an accomplished dancer he is!

That was so I love how they just connected and just flowed with BRAVO!!!!

[judybloom]

She's GOOD!!! I love Nils' dancing always!

Jen Hodge's vintage Swing timing on bass totally transforms the Eyal Vilner Orchestra, making it much more danceable. Maestro Vilner, if you are reading this, you need to hire Jen for dance gigs whenever possible.

Marie is a beautiful dancer; a lovely connection between her and Nils in this dance. Flow, musicality, synergy and individuality.

She is wonderful! I checked out her website (mentioned below under another comment) and she is delightful - light on her feet and into this type dancing - AND teaching it - since 2007. Hope to see more of her on u tube. Good work you both!

What a great team they were...pure joy! Talk about tuning into each other, mirroring, guiding...gee and hawing and ALL done with presumable nonchalance! The clothes were fun too without being a distraction!

I love a video that has me starting with a smile and finishing with a bigger smile. Fun, fun, fun!

Marie is a beautiful dancer. Nils is such an amazing leader he can adjust to any size woman. Both are super talented dancers.

[vtmike]

She brings this fun energy to her classes too! Take one from her if you ever get the chance!
