The first cha-cha song you hear - well, it is called "Bonita y Sabroso" (or Beautiful and Tasty), originally done first by the Los Gigantes del Latino (Giants of Latin). I grew up with as I was a buff of both social dance and dancesport!!!!
Formica and Nikiforova's solo samba - their winning combination in the finals, I saw them.... They start out with solo very quick underarm spins into checked rocks (lady's meltdown swivels) and boomerang, hip bump check into Man's quick solo spin. Lady's double spinout to Challenge, man encroaches into closed to open PP explosions and into the classic CPP/PP runs. Then to lady's Maxixe hop opening out check to close - crossbody out, opposition solo spins to Challenge rock ending. Then rolling-off spin switching PPs, and then approach to CPP/PP runs, windmill-rolls with R pivots, L drag close and whiplash explosion. CPP Travelling locks to swivel check, hip-bump rock syncopated. Advanced Natural Top, advanced spinout to Open Facing Drag to L, and then shoulder shimmies by both dancers in Challenge. Lady's check to man's double spinout and back to Side by Side Challenge for advanced kick/botafogo combination, then to man's/lady's double solo spins. Then opposition curved runs to Closed Hold a few more lady's Spinning off the arm sequences after the man checks him with lady's lunge in L open shadow position. This is how I saw that dance unfold....
I had been dancesporting as a Dancing Illini amateur competitor from 1996-2002, watched a lot of "Championship Ballroom Dancing', and took about 8-9 years of group ballroom dance lessons. Mileage from my constant social dances involving dancing in anticlockwise form (quickstep, foxtrot, polka) - probably up to 200 miles in the past after 11 years of social dancing. Competed with Michele Stoehr in the Chicago Crystal Ball in 2003 (as cut-throat a competition like the IDSF you see in the video) in 5-Dance International Latin but like the 2 Russian couples in the Ice Palace, we did not make the cut. In fact - 2 of the 7 adjudicators at that Crystal Ball were Pierre Allaire and Mireille Velleux. World-class dancesporters in their prime. Michele and I regrettably now have no more partnership in ballroom dancing. Then I became a bit of a self-proclaimed ballroom analyst after I watched a lot of TH-cam videos that featured ballroom instruction. I am also a musician (so I had the best musicality - which is important in competitive dancing), and my favorite Latin dance is the samba, still is, even though I do not yet have a new second partner.
Oops - I overlooked something before the "advanced kick/botafogo combo" - I think the movements the couple did are either called batukada-style kick ball changes syncopated or syncopated kicks with quick closes with movement to the L (but I think these are batukadas with swivels), and I think the count in my mind is "a 1 uh and, a 2 uh and, a 1 uh and, a 2 uh and." The batukada and its variations seem to be popularized by the great Latin dancer known as Donnie Burns. We all remember that.......
@@user-wh3pz7fh5e I hold this opinion as well despite not having seen him dance live. I've had the opportunity to witness Riccardo from a few feet away; we were both practicing on the floor for our respective events. Riccardo is textbook in action - every single muscle working the way it should be, an absolute inspiration to watch. What Franco demonstrates is all of the above, plus an innate sense of rhythm that you get to see particularly in the fast dances like Samba and Chacha. He is likely the most rhythmical dancer after Bryan.
How did you feel when those 2 Russian couples did not make the finals in the IDSF 2003 championship? I was about to pull for them in the semi finals. One couple's lady from Russia had great leg extensions in the rumba discipline dance in her choreography. The static leaning arabesque she did that looked like a vertical split was amazing. I liked that couple and I wanted them in the finals - but they did not make it there. I was disappointed. If I were the judge in that competition, I wanted them to be in the finals. Were you disappointed when the Russian couples did not make the cut to the finals? When that happened, I had to pull for the American couple who had Russian ties before they turned into Americans. There is a silver lining - the American finalist couple was formerly from Russia, so be glad, Arthur. :) :)
If I were commentator Karyn Hardy, when I heard the music of the samba in the first dance, the group samba in the semifinals, I would say something like this..."The samba was derived basically from the Carnivals of Rio de Janeiro and the greatest carnival Samba superstar and singer of all--which was Carmen Miranda. An European envoy from the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing was sent to Brazil to observe the Carnival samba movements, and when that envoy went back to Europe, they modified the movements of what was carnival samba to the ballroom, and with that, competitive International samba dance--also known as the 'modern" samba, was born. The character of the samba dance should be treated like a party and having a good time, with cheeky gestures, lots of hip-shaking and shimmying, and in addition to in-place movements you saw from the competitors involving rocking and checking actions, like the Open Rocks or Rolling Off the Arm, the samba is known for traveling movements like the promenade runs, reverse roll turns, promenade spins with zig-zags, travelling locks, and almost taken out of the paso doble steplist - pivots, particularly the windmill and helicopter pivots. Some of those dancers are using such pivots between the famous promenade runs....."
Congratulations you just spoke over the music and failed to talk about any of the couples for the entirety of the dance while 99% of the viewers already forgot what you said.
Katsevman and Manusova from the USA had a great solo samba final routine- hearing that they had Blackpool experience. They weree dancing to the same samba music like Formica and Nikiforova did. But the big mistake that they did at the 23:44 mark was they continued dancing the samba after the music fades out. Generally, even though I never read the IDSF rulebook, I think when you hear the music fade away or end and the PA says "Thank You Dancers", you need to stop your dance action after about 3 seconds and acknowledge the audience. You go past that 3 seconds after the music is over and you continue dancing without stopping, the judges will penalize you one place or up to a few places in the rankings, especially in the finals - down to last place. Go over 5 seconds after the music stops and you continue dancing, that is a flagrant foul - and it would be a disqualifiable offense, and you won't even place last - you would be out of the competition for sure, and it would be a 5-couple final, not 6 (similar to soccer). So my hunch is that the American couple continued dancing after the music for 5 seconds and they did get penalized - not disqualified - but they lost placing, and did not win the finals. They would have won 1st place if they stopped dancing as soon as the music was over.
"So my hunch is that the American couple continued dancing after the music for 5 seconds and they did get penalized - not disqualified - "but they lost placing, and did not win the finals.

@lindenly22, your comment is ridiculous, the fact they danced a few seconds after the music stops had nothing to do with scoring and judges would never punish couples for such an irrelevant thing.

Can you find which artist did "Corazon enamorado" in the 1st samba heat?
Charles Smith I also competed the same years. Now dance kizomba salsa bachata zouk
Franco Formica and Riccardo Cocchi both won Amateurs Latin Championships in a time span of 1 or 2 yrs...each other...I understand...
Some people say that Franco Formica is technically the most talented guy in his time...

Name of the Samba finals please ? Gives me goosebumps ! These couples just set on fire with it !
Angelito- Ballroom orchestra and singers
@@AEKTZOY21 Basically - this samba song was inspired by the famous Russian gypsy song, "Dark Eyes", especially in the chorus sections.
@@AEKTZOY21 thank you , I didn’t find it sorry ...

They call this "sportni tantsi" in Russian. Dancesport, that is.
I heard "pakeihtzyah" - that's Russian for "couples", by the PA announcer. This happened at the end of the 2nd heat of the samba semifinal.
