Keerigan Rudd & Jen Ferreira | 1st Place | All-Star JnJ | Austin Swing Dance Championships

All-Star JnJ Finals at Austin Swing Dance Championships (ASDC) in Austin, TX.

This is West Coast Swing, a fully improvised dance. For this competition, our partners were chosen randomly. Jen and I had never met before. For our song choice, we were given the choice of “original or cover,” but had no idea which song it would be.

Filmed by Kristen Shaw.

Hey everyone! Keerigan here. Thanks for watching our performance! This is the second copy of this video posted, the first one was posted prior to knowing this 4K landscape version existed. I’m leaving both available so that those who prefer one style over another have a choice.

You two looked like you have been dancing for years together. I’m just so amazed how you have never dance with a person before and can dance like that. I think I have watched this video over and over. So happy you took first place. You two deserved it. Both were so smooth and clean with the moves. I really enjoy watching you both.

I LOVE how the leads always walk the follows back to their group. So sweet. 🤗🤗

[georgiafain]

My favorite of all the performances. I watched that walk away move that perfectly fit the lyrics and you followed seamlessly. Watch that bit probably 20 times

[womblingfreee]

Brilliant. You lead the dancers into an amazing performance for both of you. Love it!

[foreveryoungpatr]

[amberowen]

You've got romance in your bones man. Your a great dancer.

These improv dances are so addicting to me. I used to dance before I got sick and it was my first love. I did ballet/pointe and pas de deux and I miss it so much

Your performances keep getting better and better. Such beautiful impro and fun to watch.

Keerigan, thank you so much for sharing your dances with us! Your improv with each of the dances is so intuitive and beautiful! You glide gracefully across every dance floor and every one of your dance partners feels safe in your arms. Please keep dancing and sharing. 😊😊❤❤

That dip at the end 😍 Love how this song begs you to linger in these movements

[CrystalRose]

I love the chemistry with you two, what a beautiful dance! I've watched it several times and I enjoy it more every time 😊

[MissAmanda]

I love watching the way magic happens during these dances. It’s also really beautiful, the way each dancer is so supportive & excited for you guys at the end. You are filling your own cup, while also filling the cup of a room full of mostly strangers. You must leave these events feeling so great!
Thanks for posting these on social media!! So often, ppl chose to upload chaos & mayhem to either try & find others who support their lunacy or because they thrive off arguing with strangers. It’s beautiful to see such a kind & harmonious video that just puts a little pep in your step. (No pun intended!)💜🖤💙

[Zavoddiabetes]

Bravo!!! Greetings from Slovenia, you've got a lot's of talent.

[christinakidsgrands]

This is magic. What in the heck...how do you do that? There's such a listening art to this - listening to slight pressure and movements and rhythms and it's just mesmerizing to watch!

[nancygorman]

That was powerfully romantic. Stick with Jen.
