Can you tell me why they are always looking at each others feet?
Is it because the lead is mostly visual, or what?
Certainly that is a BIG difference in the two dances.
CE question to leaders-the CW giro, how do you begin it?

Turn volume up, you should hear music better.
And there are rhythm playfullness that she accentuate.
All song is sharp rhythm playing.
She did later, but in other forms.
They are not looking at other feet. Their posture is little different.
If they had been looking in each others feet they would have been late all the time.
From my perspective, you are confusing rhythm with mood. I didn't criticize anything to do with her rhythm.
The mood, one gets from the music is subjective I suppose, more about the emotion you feel from a song. She started off like it was a lively piece, which for me, it is not.
I am not so into musicality that determine mood of the song.
BTW This song does not seem so timid.
Sometimes I don't like her embelishments, cause there are too many and to much of them.
I agree with you that embelishment are to embelish, not to pollute.
Maybe that's a better way of expressing what I was getting at.I am not so into musicality that determine mood of the song.

I think people get lots of different emotions from any kind of art. That's why different people can looks at the same thing and get very different reactions. Any feelings that you get are valid. They just may not be the same as what others get. That doesn't make anyone's feelings wrong, but just different.
Sometimes I can explain why I feel something, and other times my words are not able to completely express the feelings I get.

They must have been really tired for that demo. I've seen they dance much much better... musically and technically.
I wasn't enthralled by that other video either... It looked somewhat lethargic to me and usually I like them. Jennifer actually did LESS embellishment in it than usual although I'm not wild about the flexed foot bit around 1:15 and 2:05... it looks contrived.. But that's a personal prejudice.. I'm just not wild about the flexed foot embellishments on anyone.. they don't ever look like a natural movement stemming from something else.
I've always been amazed at how sometimes she doesn't pivot on the ball of her foot but kind of twists a bit at the ankle level. She must have her reasons
I took her follower's bootcamp a few years ago, and she has VERY strong feet and ankles.. don't know how that plays into what you are observing.. just thought I'd mention it.
I spent most of the video with the voices of stage directors I've known in my head all saying "Find your light!"
If they had TRIED, could they have stayed out of the lights better? After all there was one point they drifted into a pool of light... must have been an unavoidable accident.(My monitor settings don't help stuff like this... I have a CRT calibrated to do photo editing for print... which means its nowhere near as bright as the new flat screens that are popular. If I had it that bright, my prints would always be too dark from editing down the high key in the image)
As to her embellishments (what I could see of them) I thought they were fine with the music, but a little too much for the early part of a dance. Even when you are improvising, it looks (and FEELS!) better to start "small" and let things build as the piece progresses. If she had done all that stuff you disliked more toward the end of a song as the excitement built towards a resolution, you might not have objected to it as much.
For me, the reason that doing more (or possibly being more energetic) works well at the end of the song, is because, often the energy level of the music increases at the end of the song.
The dancers that I tend to like (among other things), will match the mood of the dance to the mood of the music. That's one of the things I most enjoy and admire about Chicho, even though I'm not that big of a nuevo guy.
I've found a lot of dancers with strong dance background, namely ballet tend to have very strong feet and ankles.

Hi bafonso, do you mean hard or soft ware ?
I was recently told that Chicho resembles tango nuevo but he charges that very well. 8)
