Simple is Beautiful

Whenever I have seen great dancing - especially in a rumba, the term "oozing" comes to mind. There is tension in every move, and everything comes together to tell a story. However, I don't think "stunts" are really necessary to do so. Yeah, people clap when you spread your legs and reach for the heavens. Bur there is something beautiful when a simple routine is executed with passion and impecible technique. The following are two videos that exemplify the theory that simplicity can be exceptionally beautiful.

New Favourite Rumba

I am absolutely in love with this rumba. I wish I could chop Oxana's arms and stick them on to mine.

Hope you enjoy it!

One of My Favourite Videos

Things are slowly but surely falling into place with our routines. The one thing we need to work on is the performance aspect - intensity and sensuality. We found this video of Charles Guillame Schmidt and Elena Salikhova. I love her intensity and Charles is always amazing. Interesting to see how they seem to be reacting to each other without really having to be dancing together. Truly passionate!
