00:00Dancing with Foxtrot, from the movie Swing Time, Valinda Sopal and Julian Cale.
00:16Someday, when I'm awfully low, when the world is cold,
00:27I will feel a glow just in my heart, and away tonight.
00:40Where each world, your tenderness grows, tearing my fear apart.
00:59And then laugh, because your nose touches my foolish heart.
01:14But I believe, I never, never change, to keep that reckless charm.
01:27Won't you please arrange it, because I love you, just the way you look tonight.
01:42Oh, beautiful. That's the magic of the movies right there.
01:51You must have been in your element, Fred and Ginger. Anton?
01:55Oh, be still, my beating heart.
02:00I, you, let me tell you this, you tailor too, too tiny coin a little bit already, because you saw my life.
02:10You were beautiful, and elegant, and sophisticated, and the feel was gorgeous.
02:25And I loved watching it. I just felt lovely.
02:29And your side-by-side work is musical, and free, and romantic, and wonderful.
02:35It's not the same when you get in hold. In hold, you get a little tense, and you get a little hesitant.
02:41And then you do this thing here, where you get a little close to the top, and this all gets a bit too far away.
02:48And then it becomes a little bit, I'm not quite sure which of these I'm supposed to move.
02:52And it's a shame, really, because it's such a beautiful world.
02:56If you can tuck those thighs under, just feel like you roll your thighs under a little bit, you'll get much closer.
03:02And then everything becomes, the irony is, you feel too close, but everything becomes much clearer.
03:07Because you'll be able to feel everything is leading you into.
03:10Because it's a beautiful feel. I don't want you to change anything.
03:13I want you just to connect that base a little bit more to your partner.
03:17But, oh, what lovely dancing that was.
03:20And really, I knew you would love that.
03:25The left shoulder was slightly raised, I noticed.
03:29When you did get into hold, you need to keep that wrist down as much as possible.
03:33I would like seeing just some softer, all the held moments just need to be a little softer and dance through them.
03:40But it was elegant, it had class, it had grace, my darling, and much more confidence.
03:51I honestly feel like you gave that dance personality, you gave that dance life.
03:57You were living it, and that's not something that you should take for granted.
04:03Because you gave it charm, the way you were moving, the little details, attention to music,
04:08all those little tiny highlights within the music that shows what talent you have.
04:13So, a fox shot, we would know for more gliding movement.
04:17And every time I saw a slow, I thought you could go, you know, like singing, like, slow.
04:25Was that okay?
04:29So, if you could feel the music a little bit more.
04:33Sure.
04:34But everything you have, please keep in those competitions, you're great.
04:37You're great.
04:38Yay!
04:39Thank you!
04:40Thank you!
04:52We spoke before about how much you love music, and what I noticed when you were dancing before
04:57is that when you let yourself be led by the music, you became a little freer.
05:02Yeah.
05:03And that's what I watched tonight.
05:04So, everyone was talking about how elegant it is, how much you move with the music,
05:08how lyrical you are, and that is the thing we've been talking about.
05:11Yes.
05:12What did I tell you?
05:13Thank you very much.
05:14I told you to do that.
05:16Because you have a wonderful hold of what music can do to the body.
05:20And when you listen to it, we can see it.
05:23It's really, really, it was, for me, beautiful.
05:25I loved watching you, John.
05:26You loved it.
05:28Shirley.
05:29Last week, the Charleston.
05:30Oh, yes.
05:31Don't go ahead, Julian.
05:32Last week, the Charleston, and this week, the Foxtrot.
05:37Now, I agree with everybody with the grace and the elegance, although at the beginning,
05:42and this will go forward with your other dances, it needs finish at the ends of your
05:46hands and your arms.
05:47And your EF used to say, all ends in the ends of the hands.
05:50So that's beautiful for you to think about when you go.
05:53But when you have a slow, you have a slow.
05:58When you have a quick, quick, it doesn't mean it's two short, small steps.
06:02The footwork for me was by no means very good.
06:06So, hold on, hold on, because I do believe that Valbinder is going to go far.
06:12I believe that.
06:13But she's not going to go far if everything is mushy and cushy, you know.
06:18You're just great.
06:19I wanted to learn something.
06:21I want you to pay attention to a heel turn.
06:24If you're learning in the room and it's a toe, toe, toe flat, it's as good to say that
06:29as toe, toe, heel.
06:30So, heel turn to a miss.
06:32The slows weren't quite there.
06:33The quick, quicks look a bit stuck.
06:36So, I believe with all this beauty and finesse that you have given, you are stunning.
06:43But footwork will need attention because as you move further on into the competition,
06:46you're going to need it for stability.
06:48But I think you're great, like everybody said.
06:51But let's pay attention to those little, small details.
06:55Thank you so much.
06:56Thank you so much.
06:57Lots of feedback to take on.
06:59Well, it was wonderful.
07:01Valbinder and Julian.
