Keerigan, I remember being your first lead in your first Novice comp (Swingapalooza 2022), to seeing you dancing and placing in All-Star/Champion has been a beautiful thing to watch! It's been a joy....I can't wait to recover from this injury so I can come back and dance with you again 😀
How quickly she picked up the point down hand signal and responded. Was awe wait for it some.

Sometimes the partners just click. That was fun.
Best one yet imo.
I came across one of ur dances in a short u posted (the one with song Teenage Dream by Katy Perry.)
It peaked my interest so I tapped ur channel. I just got done watching this ENTIRE playlist!
I cant imagine dancing in a competition (or in front of ppl) at all, let alone improv. AND with random partner & song.
It blows my mind! 🤯
I mean, the amount of pure skill & talent... bro, u got mad skillz! Lol.
Truly blessed for sure. U keep doing u. It's awesome. Wish I was that good at, idk, something lol.
Sooooo smoooooooth
Brilliant
Both of you popped into my TH-cam feed today. Lucky me. What a great performance. Thank you. Congratulations to you both for you for your 1st place win.😊
Both so cute
woooow
You guys are the BEST! Who sings this song?

Y'all making me wanna get my gf into swing just thinking about how if this is improv, y'all can just bust this out whenever there's music. I'd feel like I was in a movie fr
It’s so much fun to just dance whenever and wherever!
Where's the full performance??? This is so fun to watch!
You guys are fantastic! Who sings the song? Please someone tell me!

What are the chances you would post competition schedules? I would have come to this, I live close enough to Alabama that I would have enjoyed seeing it.
I generally make a community post on YT and also post on Instagram/FB. Is there another way I could more effectively get that info out?
@@keeriganruddWCS I didn't realize you did that. On your community page. I don't do any other form of social media. Thank you for the reply/info. Truly enjoy your channel.
@zavierdesine4405 I’m about to post a infographic with some of the upcoming events I’m attending!
I just watched this with sound. What's interesting is that my visual focus shifted. The female partner gained more of my attention.
The traditional view is that the man leads and the woman follows. That is not always the case. For partners to look as smooth as these two, communication has to go both ways. Through her body language subtile cues are made indicating to Keerigan how she wants movement to go. There is an instance while they are apart where Keerigan initiates a dance move. She doesn't copy but responds by a highly feminine fluid response. This balances out the call and response of the sequence. Had she followed his lead exactly there'd be a heaviness to the sequence taking away from the overall flow.
When dancers rehearse a difficult passage of a choreographed piece they do it without music. Their movements are counted out to beats in each measure. The choreography is either on the beat or against the beat (syncopation). Any mistep outside of this framework is highly noticeable and can potentially crash the whole troop!
In ballroom dancing this principle is more internalized within the framework of the dance type. It becomes part of the pair's personal muscle memory.
When I accidentally watched this without music, I wasn't aware at first that I was looking at movement to the beat and counting it out. Sometimes music can be a distraction. This is why I was able to see the elements that contributed to a highly fluid pair. Their two way communication became more visable.
This is a useful tool for any performer, to watch yourself without sound. It not only provides feedback about how you look to the audience, you can addionally see what you are doing with your body.
The chick carried the whole dance
If you look at her at the end of the video when it freezes at1:28. Tell me she does not resemble Celine Dion! (which is very much a compliment)
What's a good way to start west coast swing? We don't really have dance bars arround us (not the US) and lessons are like 140€
You'd think you both been each others partner for years.
What is the name of this song? Someone pls
