Uuugggghhh That counts me out then! What happened to the halcyon days when advanced dancers where the ones that could interpret the music and just 'looked good'?

Funnt though ... was trying to get some ideas about 'big moves' and so was looking through my copy of the 2001 C2D competition. So much for lead and follow! One couple in the final seemed to dance just a completely choreographed rouitne from start to finish (the music was obviously just incidental) and they didn't come last .... even more deeply puzzled. The upside was seeing Dan and Lisa dancing ... forgot just what an awesome dance couple they were!
