Not that I'm a huge fan of that style myself, but I don't think it's really fair to rush to judgement here. Some people like slow slinky dances filled with emotion, some prefer an aerobic workout. It's not the "pack in lots of complex moves" style that is the problem, it's when it's done badly, or when the follow doesn't like that style of dance and the lead does not or cannot adapt to their partner's preferences.

Is this kind of aptitude what I have seen described elsewhere as a move monster? Or is that a term applied to somebody who is over-reaching themselves and pulling out lots of moves that they simply cannot do correctly (which was not the case here).

The way I understand the term is someone who is preoccupied with moves at the expense of musicality - it doesn't matter if there's a break coming, or the end of the song or even another couple in the way - they
