America’s Funniest Comp Videos
Okay, maybe not America’s Funniest but I enjoyed watching this: the clip starts with one of our cha-cha heats. As it turned out, we were not entered for the rumba heat that followed it, but we needed a minute, and a consultation with Vince The Voice, to figure that out.
We reappear around 21:15–go ahead and jump forward because a big part of the clip consists of a long social-dance break to accommodate a judging panel change or some such.
This video is from the “Dancing for our Heroes” charity ball back in July; I just got a copy on DVD a few weeks ago. Those of you who are Internet stalkers observant viewers will notice common elements between this routine and the one in the previous video. We took this version as a basis when we added the exhibition “tricks” in the more recent version of the routine. Kind of necessary if, like me, you have not lost stamina or flexibility with age but have entirely lost the ability to remember choreography. Sigh.
One more thing: the picture is funky for about the first 10 seconds of the video, but it does clear up. More video soon; stay tuned!
I’m hoping to post several recent videos over the next few days; here’s the first. These are the exhibition performances from last Friday at the Atlanta Dance Classic. We appear at the 12-minute mark but the whole show is worth watching. Great dancing all over the place!
The Atlanta Classic was a lot of fun; we have to give particular props to our instructor Eddie Ares for stepping in to partner me for a few heats because Daniel wasn’t feeling well. Tune in again soon for more video from this and other recent events!
