Subject Author Date I'm with you. Does anyone else see anything wrong with this dance? Anyone? 09:07:25 11/29/11 Tue Since you asked......At least two of the dancers weren't completing their "back 2, 3s" during the dance. Also during the body, when they are advancing three facing three, there is supposed to be a "lift" or at least a "hop" back 2,3 as they retire. The dancers do lift or hop back at all. (NT) simply place their foot behind. Very high on their toes throughout the dance, which is very lovely. 09:33:33 11/29/11 Tue Sorry. last part should read, "The dancers do not lift" (NT) -- op, 09:49:41 11/29/11 Tue Watched again and do not see anyone not completing their back 2 3's. As for the advance and retire I am pretty sure the "hop" on the retire is a "style" not a requirment. Some view it as an embellishment best left out. This dance might not be your style but I still do not see any imperfections. Loved it and again I am not even from their region 13:17:22 11/29/11 Tue Feet coming off the floor when you are doing back 2, 3s is not an embellishment. It's not happening very much in the video. -- dancer, 13:36:17 11/29/11 Tue Yeah, I have to agree with you. I just rewatched and when they do the retire, it looks like they are stepping back instead of dancing back. Pretty sure adding the hop is one of those things that will get you more points, not less. (NT) -- very interesting to dissect, 08:03:08 11/30/11 Wed Agreed, seems like a hop would add more points but every judge has his/her own preferences in style. I do not think the absence of a hop would result in lost points. (NT) -- Just my two cents, 10:00:59 11/30/11 Wed Their arms could be better (NT) X 16:41:23 11/29/11 Tue
