Jordan and Tatiana dance a very stylized...style, for lack of a better word. They are world champions and definitely not the norm when it comes to WCS. They dance these choreographed numbers for competitions like the US Open and when they are doing a showcase somewhere, but trust me, they can dance classic WCS and do so most of the time at conventions. West Coast Swing today still has LOTS of "swing" and they are just beautiful to watch doing it.
I have got to the stage where I genuinely look forward to the USSOC just to see what these guys will do next. Have loved every routine from 2001 and to still be creating new routines of such magnificent calibre with new tricks and styles is testament to J&T's true ability as two of the world's best dancers!
I was a swing dancer in the mid 50's through the mid 60's - most of the good dancers could dance with anyone of similar talent - A good dancer would lead his partner through various turns without the advantage of practice. These champions bring a unique style of show dancing while maintaining the basic swing style of dancing. This is far better than the professional dancers you see on TV who do more of rapid kicking and hopping style that is far removed from what swing is all about.
WHOA! I didn't think many people would try to coreograph a dance to dubstep let alone a dance THIS stylish. I am very impressed. That looked really fun, especially that one slide at 2:04
well, its not really that hard to coreograph, that normally more or less starts with a free style for a basis to jump off, the hard part is memorizing it, practicing it, and getting everything perfect
For all of those wondering what song this is, it is the Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know ft. Kimbra (KDrew Dubstep Remix). The song is available on TH-cam as well. You're welcome.
Jordan & Tat . . . its such a pleasure to watch you and this is everything I expected it to be - "the best of the best"! I would love to see a full-on "Zouk" presentation in the future - you ROCK!
If you are an Undertale fan (especially a Dancetale AU fan) start playing the Ghost Fight theme at around 0:13 or 0:15. There you got Napstablook and Hapstablook dancing together X3
wauw wauw wauw ..... 1000 thime's wauw. jordan and tatiana are supper dancers. i have met theme 1 time in france for workshop....i hope to see theme again !
I wish there was more of a distinction made on the internet between East and West Coast Swing. These West Coasters are very good, but as a Lindy-Hopping East Coaster, I know they are VERY different dances, and it's clear people get confused.
There are a few clubs that strive to keep the swing music played, but it's a balance between keeping people, who for the most part are just out there to have fun and to dance, and playing swing music. if that makes any sense at all. (i'm not really good with putting my thoughts to words)
If you knew swing you could recognize the rhythm keeping and footwork that is characteristic of the dance:p even though this isn't really my favorite take on swing, it is swing:)
I can do that. me and my boyfriend won 2 swing dance contests together, but we definitly are not as theatrical as them.....its hard to smile while completing a hard move
This is one of the most amazing performances ever.................

People who say this isn't swing probably shouldn't be posting on dance videos. This is open category west coast swing.
+Trevor Davis It is not an open West Coast Swing category, It is an open swing category, vastly different....
Fantástico!
Perfect...
SICK
Perfect
That was bad ass!!!!!!!!
They're too smooth!
Um dia eu chego lá!!!
UNBELIEVEBALE !
Ta para niech długo cieszy nasze zmysły.
Cool
I was on the fence about whether I was a fan on electronic music in west coast. Not any more!!
wao, se la comieron, que Bueno estuvo eso
Tatiana landing at the end made Jordan transform into super sayian
Dude. Killer, Why did u guys stop DANCING..... ur soo cool to watch....
someone tell me where I can find this remix!
who is singing this version of somebody that I used to know?
its over in the Lindy videos
this is pretty amazing, but how can you call it swing?
Yes, that was a CHIN LEAD! I also like how his turns are just as fast as hers...
Does anybody know which version of the song they used? :)
Go Long beach!!!!
fellow dancer- I'm not sure what style this is, modern swing perhaps? but otherwise totally fun looking=)
que musica é essa? nome
Wow who won?
Wait, can someone tell me when the dancing actually starts?

I don't think West Coast as a whole has lost it's swing. There are plenty of songs, that we still dance to that have maintained the swing.
What is this version of the song called?
FUCKING GODS!
3:23 best thing ever
where is the swing?
The girls have much harder work!
I want to do this on my wedding day with my new husband
