Swing It Away
PexelsSwing Dance is known for being inclusive of all skill levels and body sizes. This is probably why a swing dance style called “Jack and Jill” was created.
Jack And Jill-Style Competition
YouTube, Ben MorrisThe West Coast Swing “Swingtacular” Invitational is popular for arranging a “Jack and Jill”-style competition where dancers are selected randomly and they also have to perform to 2 songs that are also picked out at random.
Meet Nick And Victoria
YouTube, Ben MorrisNick King and Victoria Henk joined the 2018 West Coast Swing “Swingtacular” Invitational and they surprised everyone with their swing dancing skills, an impromptu one at that.
“DJ, Turn It Up!”
YouTube, Ben MorrisAs the emcee was still discussing the rules, Nick and Victoria decided to stretch it out on the floor until he decided to start the music while they were still not ready.
Their First Song
PexelsNick and Victoria gracefully danced to the slow song “Valleys” by the band Honors. Their slick moves were perfect and it’s hard to think that it’s all just an improv.
Down To The Second Song
YouTube, Ben MorrisWhen the slow song ended, Nick almost forgot about the second part, but when Ciara’s “1, 2 Step” started playing, the couple was now back in the groove and they started pulling off some impressive swings again.
Well-Deserved Win
PexelsNick and Victoria’s performance earned a standing ovation from their peers and second place in the competition.
