      007 esq. Thats about as succinctly as one could put it. I don't know if you agree, but he reminds me in style of Peter Stcckkebrau who also had a musical, elegant but masculine unforced style which I'm personally more drawn to.

    Peter is just amazing for me it's a great pleasure to watch them!!! Just I wish Zia to be a little more flexible, somehow had a bigger amplitude to her hips action...

    To those who gave this a thumbs down. What's your reason?. Oh wait a minute I know! You either have no appreciation for this style of dance, or you know and understand nothing about it. Peter and Zia display a wonderful man/woman balance in their partnership and their dance style is calm, yet athletic, musically rhythmical and expressive, without all the overdone,cheesy hysterics and the signature circus tricks. They keep it simple, stylish and beautiful. I so hope this is the new direction of dancesport Latin dancing. if it isn't it should be.

      that's your opinion and that's a good thing. but you may also disagree and rate your dance style negative and thus give a thumbs down, what is wrong with that? Tastes are different and everyone is allowed to make their own opinion about their dance style. Personally, I have a more lively and energetic style and so I can not fully identify with this dance style, so I gave a thumbs-down, so what?

      Gerrit Regelmann. The symbol of a thumbs down is generally considered universally as meaning something is not good and we dislike it. Simply because you don't fully relate to their style as its different to your own to me doesn't warrant a dislike. Just walk past it or at least support it with a short comment so that we understand the why and perhaps even learn something from you. I don't mind a lively style, as long as its not constipated with technique and theatrics as I believe it has become. Many dancers look like robotic machines with no heart and no soul. That's not dancing and let me tell you from 4 decaded in and out of this sport it doesn't greatly appeal to the greater population outside of dance sport. All good, Cheers.

    This couple got much praise after their rumba solo in the UK, also from me.
    They deserve the same this time for cha cha cha.
    The thing I don't like is their uncommon timing in the first part of the cha cha cha.

    • @joetesta3352
      @joetesta3352 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      Helge Christpherson. What do you see that is uncommon about his timing that you don't like? If you are going to give critical assessment about technique and timing aspects of dance, (and you often do), its appropriate to offer a reason to support the criticism, so we all know and understand where you are coming from. Otherwise you comment remains without substance and completely pointless. You claim to be a professional dance teacher so this should not be a difficult question for you to answer.

      Helge Christopherson. I know that.,you keep telling me. Peter is using syncopation as well as other timing and rhythms all through this cha cha routine. So what I am asking you to offer is explanation as to what it is that is uncommon about his timing in the fist 30 seconds that is different to the rest of this routine that you don't like. I don't see a problem with his timing at all but If I am missing something then I am asking you to explain what it is I'm not seeing. I would like to learn something I may not know. Again a very knowledgeable teacher with years of study and experience, (which you claim you are) should not have a problem explaining this. Do you not understand the question, or is it perhaps too difficult, because you seem unwilling or unable to provide a proper answer? Once I have this explanation from you I may possibly change my opinion, which I have done with other people in the past. But as it stands I don't agree with your comment at all and I'm left to think that you perhaps know far less about dancing than you have us all believe. Go ahead please prove me wrong.

      @@joetesta3352 No one can change the opinion of you in this or other cases. You and I, and Brad Cherrie and I, have different opinions on timing continuously. To stress this further is unpolite to the dance couple, who must themselves choose as they want. The point of commentary is just to give a friendly hint of what I feel and think. That happens all the time in comments on you tube.
      When I am enthusiastic about a couple, I mention a question mark on a thing I don't like while everything else is splendid.
      Petar and Zia and their trainers are excellent people who can choose for themselves much better than I can do for them. I have only seen the couple on video and not person to person on the floor. I wish them the best.

      @@joetesta3352 When you keep saying you don't know where I am coming from or what I represent, let me just close this discussion by pointing out why I am commenting on you tube. The reason is that I am not being paid by any competition couple any place recently, and I am not a judge, and therefore I am independent and has integrity to give my feelings and thoughts. I have for many years, like many teachers, taught classes and private lessons only and not been involved with sport dance clubs. So you must not think I come from someone that has interests in any competitor. This is why I am commenting.
      MY BACKGROUND IN DANCING.
      My whole childhood and youth were dominated by dance competition training, and dance education. I obtained the highest dance education of the most prestigious and famous dance school in Norway (Svae) and I was doing shows and competitions in much of the world. I also won a major national championship and a prestigious throphy and was giving a show when Svae as the first dance teacher in Norway was handed the prestigious Royal gold medal from His Majesty King Olav V. Svae was close allies of Bill and Bobbie Irvine and their dance studio, and I studied there every year I lived in England. I have for very many decades had close family in England and in New York. In New York I started teaching at ABC Dance Studio in Manhattan, owned by United States Professional Ballroom Champion Bill Davies, the best centre in America for dancing at that time. After years of professional education and living in America I (with my partner at the time Sandra Cameron) took professional examination, and got 94 points in quickstep, 92 in slow foxtrot, 90 in waltz and the examiners wrote the word "excellent" on the examination sheet. Similarly, I took the latin professional exam. And so my life was totally absorbed by teaching, in Norway at my own school and in America and elsewhere. My school was visited by many very famous champions who gave demonstrations, starting with Raymond and Gunn Myhrengen and Knut Sæborg and Tone Nyhagen. This was the time when Norway was the best dancing country in the world, and world champions where very often Norwegians, including Espen and Kirsten Salberg.
      So now you know my background in dancing.
