Sounds like positive discrimination to me. I assume you are proposing that the final be made up of the best Latin couple, the best swing couple, the best urban couple, the best jazz couple, the best ballet couple etc. And with only 6 in the final, then who decides which styles are allowed?Originally posted by Gus
if the trend is for Latin at the moment, then I think its even MORE important for the other variations to be promoted.
And it should be pointed out that it is not just a 'style' competition. There is also the matter of how well you perform the dance to the music...
Personally I like the 'urban' style, and it is nice to see more people doing it. But no-one has really developed it since Dan introduced it 6 years ago, and taken it to another level.but I'm starting to get bored of the same old performances being trotted out. Lets having some new.
The only people I've seen doing anything different style-wise (in freestyle) over the last few years are James Geary and Amir Giles.
