yeah, I was wondering about that too... In essence I have nothing against a WCS/Hip hop routine, it's pushing the enveloppe of the dance, which J&T do very succesfully all the time... To me I think in here it felt more like they were enchained to the rules of WCS while trying to make a hip hop routine... it just doesn't flow well... They do hip hop on their own and then hold hands again to go back into wcs, it feels contrived and it just felt like they were slaves to the dance rather than using the dance to express the song. Or something like that.Lory wrote:The Myles Munroe & Tessa Cunningham one left me a bit cold for some reason...

Apart from that it was good music, beautifully edited, great use of colour, high energy.

I loved the video also, and the dancing was great - which comes as no surprise considering who the dancers are. Plus - the dancing (IMO) fit the style and speed of the music perfectly. It's around 205-210bpm, if I'm not mistaken? - so it's hardly the slowest track out there. To me, the dancing looked very relaxed and casual - no unnecessary speedup in sight.
If I'm going to be picky, I'd say the intro before the music began was a little slow, and if I didn't know of the Aces, it might have lost me before the video got going - I swear that t'internet has lowered my attention span considerably. That's just hyper-pickiness though.
Anyway - looking forward to the new album. Is there a release date yet?
[EDIT]Out of curiousity, I looked up "Lil' Miss Hayley" from the links on the video, as I'd not come across her before - just how talented is she??? Amazing dancer, and then there's things like this... great musician, fantastic voice - I'm seriously impressed.[/EDIT]

Re: You Tube Dance videos
Superb promo. Yes, I thought it took marginally too much time to build up so it lost a little bit of the drama but otherwise I loved it. You just can't help but start smiling.jiveknight wrote:Hi, check out our new music vid and please spread a little sunshine:-)

I've only ever worked on one promo which was a Richard Ashcroft song, and I'm in awe of how some of the ideas come about. A lot are pretty dreary, but this was inspiring.

For some reason (possibly just the juxtaposition against the other elements in the video) the physics of that scene didn't seem right. Clearly just me though

Re: You Tube Dance videos
I haven't been on the forums for sometime due to Europe backpacking trip, but even if its a bit late, I thought this is relevant. I had attended the Russian Open WCS event in Moscow, and watched J & T do a Teacher's Demo, performed to the same song.NZ Monkey wrote:it's been far too long since I've posted a clip of Jordan and Tatiana freestyling. It's time to fix that:

I had to miss this particular event.![]()

There are similar patterns and 'signature' moves being done at certain segments of the song in both separate freestyles, yet there's enough new stuff in there too (different ways of interpreting certain bits of the song). Overall, its still great to watch
