mercurialpenelope. in terms of timing, speed, precision, and all those kinds of things then yes I agree, but rhythmically, musically, artistically, connection & characterisation, personality, this performance lacks plenty for me and not so wonderful, but then I'm not a great admirer of some aspects of their dance style. It seems with A&S you either love them or you don't. No half measure with them, Reading many comments here and elsewhere they are the most polarising dance couple in terms of opinion.

Kiss of fire

Deb C Your stupid comments are not pleasant to anyone!Shut up please😉

Nikolo Derail. Deb C and your unpolite comment here prompted me to take another look at this performance. No deb Cs comments aren't stupid. They are actually very observant and rather spot on the money. The only people that will find them unpleasant are those that don't agree with them. Listen very closely to this music especially the melody. A&S are great exponents at dancing beat, but they are woefully inadequate at dancing and expressing melody and/or rhythm, especially to this style of more melodic music with a less prominent beat. That's where the dancing is, in the melody and many are clueless about the difference. They are so out of rhythm to this music its ridiculous and so devoid of artistic characterisation and personality. For some of us out there this kind of so called dancing is unattractive and as boring as watching paint dry. She is right when you wear the crown you are held to higher expectation and scrutiny, its the price you pay for being No1. Perhaps you can share your knowledge and alternative view instead of these meaningless one liners. Otherwise perhaps you are the one that should zip it.

Babbycatt. This comment you make should have come from the person who told Deb c to shut up and I challenged him to do so, but it seems he isn't willing or capable of offering explanation for his outburst. That's his choice. All that was required was to say exactly the kind of thing that you have said here and that at least explains the reason for the impoliteness. I get what your saying and this point is perhaps arguable. I don't have to tell you because I know you understand that dancing is a language. We as dancers communicate stories, feelings , emotions, intent etc through body language and facial expression to our partner and to the viewing audience. These two are so friking poor at expressing and communicating, that its often so hard to get a clear read as to what they want to say or what they are feeling that they are borderline paralysed in that regard. Until a decade or so ago you would not have made a final let alone become world champion if you couldn't show artistic interpretation skills, musical rhythm and good basic fundamentals. Also they can move at warp speed, but I see considerable deficiencies in basic technical fundamentals and I feel they rely on blinding foot speed, dynamic movement, fancy choreography, party tricks and gimmicks to disguise all the faults and divert attention away from the defects. Good plan, good coaching.Thankfully for them they have developed the skills to pull it off. It fools many but not all. Sorry my dear to be so forthright, because I know your a fan, but for many this is not a good DANCE couple.

Это показательный номер. Здесь могут быть и шуточные элементы . Это как раз тот эпизод , где он её передвинул на другую сторону.

Couple is ok, as many others - but the music is better. To understand this music this couple has to work different way. Remeber - we watching BALLROOM dancing - not the physical movement which looks like dancing figures. This champions does not mirror or show this "bad" music. Few point in whole dance is not enough. And yes - if this wdsf champ so good - why they choose that track and made special intro for it? Or might be - music is not that simple..

@@danceelitedanceclub9927 I just say I dont like the music

@@danceelitedanceclub9927 and yes its a good point to remind its ballroom dancing

Как хорошо,что на чемпионате мира,нет таких жюри как вы!Слава Богу!
