Do you think that regular dance partners such as Jordan & Tatiana or Kyle & Sarah get jealous watching 'their' partner dancing with the other leader/follower?

what a strange question... ?
I don't know, may be ? Although watching their reaction from where they are sitting, it looks obvious at least some of them are thoroughly thrilled when the dancing couple comes up with something good. So, at that level, may be not ? May be they manage to draw inspiration from each other rather than feeling jealousy ?

They are all great friends and most have known each other for many many years and see each other regularly

Do you ever get a tinge of jealously when your lovely lady dances with others ?

I was thinking of professional jealousy rather than personal jealousy watching that clip.

I always get the last dance with my lovely lady (and lots more besides) so I've no need for jealousy, tinge or otherwise

my apologies ............

In that case, IMO I would think it would be more pride than jealously they might feel

This might have already been on here.

Love this freestyle.

Benji is brilliant, but can be a bit wild with it at times. Tatiana is strong enough to tame him and adds musicality to make this a more balanced performance.

First time I see that one, looks like it's only been posted today. Thanks for the link!
That linked to another great one from Deborah and Mark

Who could fail to respond to great music like that first track. But, have I ever heard it locally in the last four years, no.

How lucky we must be to have that track played relatively regularly at Red Hot & Blue with Dance Demon. I think only Sheena plays it up here for Ceroc.

Here's a bit of history - featuring (amongst others) a young Mr Ellard.

OK - I'm going to do something a bit odd, and post a link to a video I can't actually see (because it looks too dark on my system)

I'm doing this because:
1) From the comments, some people [i]can/I] see it, and
2) I was there when it was filmed, and was stunned - it was one of the most incredibly musical pieces of improvised dancing I've ever seen. I just hope that comes across on camera. To anyone who can actually see the thing

Here's the link

I have watched this routine countless times and never get bored of it.

This is the winning performance from the Young Adult Division at the US Swing Open 2007. This is how the kids do it...

Enjoyed that when the Open vids first hit you tube and nice to see it again. Brennar (assuming that's the leader ) seems quite Benji-esque executing a lot of that - and one of the comments gives a nod to Benji for the choreography. Some flashy stuff there I've not seen before but you can see why the debate over 'swing content' rumbles on.....

Having seen the rest of the Young Adult choregraphies, there are a few others that feature just as many innovative moves - there seems to be no limit to their imagination (or their choregraphers)

Although I saw the move that Torri does on her hands towards 2'10 on this season's SYTYCD (by Sabra) - that makes sense now to know that Benji choregraphied that.

If you ever get the chance to see that Open DVD, go straight to J&T classic routine in the finals as they performed a different one from the Sexy Plexi one. Incredibly beautiful... shame they did a mistake on it as I guess this cost them the 1st place... Hope it'll appear on youtube at some point.

It is interesting to see the mixes of Swing in the routine with some of it paying emphasis on Brennar as he is one of the leading young Shag dancers on the Swing circuit and winner of a scholarship in 2006/7. I'm sure that helped in the Swing content when it came to be judged...
