They just blew the stage away with this incredible choreography, connection and flow. Can't believe they came 3rd - surely this is first place, simply magnifique 👏👏👏👌

OH MY GOD.
The way he moved her around the floor. The manner in which they both danced flat footed (a traditional dance for the woman in heels….YES, it makes a difference). The spins, overhead passes, slides and drops, was nothing like I’d ever seen before. These 2 must be champions. Their style and presence is unparalleled.

[TheeKrix]

You two got robbed of first first place. I felt that your choreography and creativity were unparalleled. Great job you two!

[sueellson]

The storytelling, drama, music choice, expression, trust, costuming, makeup, energy, flow, connection and clear depth of knowing each other is so beautifully communicated here - thank you for sharing your incredible presence with the world - I have lost count of how many times I have watched this now...

[roschampagne]

Quite simply these 2 should have won. Staggering choreography exquisitely executed!

Well I've been thinking about your performance for a few days so I had to come back and watch it 2 more times! Lol 😂 I have dishes and laundry to do, however I'm sure I'll watch this video a couple more times at least. You both are incredible dancers, however you also create a feeling that's unlike what the other dancers emit and that's a feeling of love, joy, happiness and awe rolled into one ❤ I love both of you and I'm soooo grateful that I discovered you both a few months ago by watching a random video 🙏🏼

[gailbrezinka]

Standing ovation 👏👏👏👏👏 🎉 such art, you both flow as if one person ❤

The intensity builds to match the lyrics!!!! So many new moves for others to use in their dances in the future. An extraordinary performance as usual, step perfect, balanced with both dancers displaying their strength and that brilliant smile to each other as the song moves to a close. The lyrical and musical fierceness and determination is personified in your movements!! 3rd place you say? I’d say another first class performance. ❤️❤️❤️

[cjwheelock]

Going to watch this 20 times and then another 20 times.

[thechristinediane]

Wow. 🎉 Looks like dance and ice skating merged together.

[BlueEagle-cexb]

what a move just before the finishing pose. left to left behind the back to swing in - never quite seen that before

[joanyannotti]

I love watching Emeline dance. She's completely amazing in every video I see her in...with every partner. ❤

[toniruthrivers]

Oh my God- amazing, incredible, unique artistry, crisp synchronization with the music…! I could go one and on but what I want to say is I can see how hard both of you worked to perform this dance; all the pain, frustration, determination, joy, sweat, tears and love of WCS, that it took to make this dance look effortless and nothing short of pure, intense, satisfying MAGIC!

[journeysong]

Thank you!! You’re changing West Coast Swing!!! I love it.

[michelebecker]
