it's incredible dancing like this improvised AND with a stranger. I just love watching WCS and maybe someday I'll try it out too.
i love the way dancers feel each other’s vibe
I am absolutely gobsmacked. And I’ve never used that word in a sentence before!
I’m watching this in 2022 and Ben is still my fav man and better than ever now. Love from the UK 🇬🇧
There is nothing sexier than a good dancer.
Denise Smith you can tell how a man will make love to you by the way he dances with you. .
How bout a good dancer...and singer?
Denise Smith YES I AM!
@@michaeldimm211 That is an overrated stereotype to get women into bed by saying "but I am a dancer" ... nah, those two things have nothing to do with one another.

If THIS type of dance were a college course I would HAVE to take it!
If this type of course was a college course I'd wonder what degree you are pursuing
Take a ballroom dance class. West coast swing is a form of ballroom dance. Let the instructor know you're interested in West Coast Swing(not East Coast). I take it at my college for an elective as an engineering major and it's a blast
@@Neuronwhisperer dance courses are mainly for life, not for a degree, as an elective course
@@Willy-the-Fire-Putter-Outter Thank You very much! I am grateful for the information!
@@Neuronwhisperer I hope you found Willy the fire-putter-outter’s comment? I had a girlfriend many years ago that took beginning ballet as an elective class. There are many elective choices. 😀
This is in my top three favorite Ben improvs... I can watch it again and again and never get tired with its originality! You always dance in the music and with the words which makes no two dances alike... Superb job! :)
Absolutely phenomenal. Musicality on the fly that's so clean and creative like this is one of the most challenging things in freestyle dancing. Bravo

Choreography is magic. Even impromptu.
That was fabulous. I never stopped smiling throughout.
I wish I could still dance like that. It was so much fun.
Yeah dudes got swag. Love this so much they are amazing.
Insane, and doubly so as improv. And wtf, second place? What does first place look like?! Amazing
absolutely stunning
Eines der besten ❤️
Really enjoyed watching these two amazing dancers. They were so naturally in tune with each other, with perfect timing.
😊😊
i just love watching this over and over again :)
I love impromptu routines like this. Shows real talent.
You mean this is improvisation??? Holy shit... that is awesome!
I am doing Swing too, I think it is called Improv because of the moves they got, that dance was simple and actually everybody of you can do it :D
It's called improv, because it actually is improvisation
Danceline so west constitue swing

Tessa is great at following that which Ben is leading and their musicality is top notch. I would be lying if I said that you could dance like this after a few classes. They have clearly put in the time to get this good, but dancing like this with a complete stranger is very doable with enough practice. While I was never quite at Ben's level in West Coast Swing, I had put in enough time into social dancing that even when traveling for work, I could I could find a club and have a blast dancing with people even if I didn't speak their language. It is also a great way for geeky awkward engineering type guys (me) to get over their shyness enough to interact with women.
Engineers leaders know how to spin followers. Can always nail that axis. What more could you want?
so amazing. thank you, Ben. this gets me turned on to west coast
You bring joy to the world !💕 Hugs from Montana.
Beautiful dancers.Enjoyed watching them.Awsome!
Glad I stumbled upon this. Was tons of fun to watch :)
West coast Swing is the MOST AMAZING dance. WOW.
I love this so much. Wonderful talent on both parts to be able to dance so well together on the spot like that. Both of them looked like they were truly enjoying themselves. I hope I can get close to this level of talent some day.
Wow. I just...wow. I cant even imagine being confident enough to improv dance
Thankyou from germany
They nailed it!
One of the best ones ever!!!!!!!!!!
I have watched this 100 times, it is so true the female makes the dance! Ben, you aren't bad😅
I love watching this one. Their dancing is beautifully done.
Miles' wave makes me laugh xD
Amazing talent absolutely stunning
I love how they dance❤
This is really good! 😘❤️
West Coast Improv Swing, Well Ben & Tessa.
They moved together like a newlywed couple in love with dancing.
They kepted up with the rhythm an hiy all the right moves on the spot.
Poop what else can I say but darn good job, spin her round like a ballerina beautiful. Crazy man crazy
: )
Wow! That was electric! Tessa was smoking hot, and you, Ben, were incredible.
VERY GOOD
Ben Morrison is the king of the Dance Floor
you guys are way to great at this o.O :))
Excelenteeee!!
I am crazy about this dance, and these two, together---WOW--AND DOUBLE WOW!!! I watch this video, just about EVERY DAY!!
SLO--d--
His personality came out 10x more with the song he picked. With the first song, the lady was in charge.
No kidding!
Amazing, u just rocks ;)
We danced like this in the late 1950s and the era before us did it in the '40sbut we were smoother - glad to see you're catching up to us.
Excellent musicality!!
lmfao i've been searching for this kurt hunter versoin of the way you make me feel for a long time and you now finally post it. and i found it like 2 months ago ha. i kept finding the bruno mars version but kurt hunter killed it.
My opinion has always been that the trademarks of WCS are seduction and sheer joy, and they've captured both beautifully here.
That's awesome moves..:)
Superb! Only in my dreams.
Good dreams then!!
Love to see men Dancing.
They rock it! Damn! 😀
great job and great moves followed one another great both male and female
At nights I dance like that ..but just in my dreams 🤣😂
Great musicality
Hey guys,
Check out that awesome version of The Way You Make Me Feel by Kurt Hunter on itunes. I posted he link in the description.
........................................................... I don't even know what to say. This is perhaps beyond master level lindy hop amazing to watch.
ben j'adore!!!
Wonderfull!!!...
@ben Morin you are a rockstar son
Mind blowing improve with a random partner 8D
So hard to believe this is improv! So much talent. So I see that all the ladies are wearing black, and some of the guys are in just a bit of colour. Is that competition etiquette so they don't clash, or just a coincidence?
Black hides the sweat ;)
Coincidence.
Typical for women is a black dress or blouse and pants
Typical for men is a dress shirt and slacks.
The dance is very professionally dressed for
Not hard to believe it's improv. Looks like they've danced together a fair bit, and know each others' styles. :)
@@nakitacally4612 I just discover this kind of dance. All west coast swing are improv?
phenomenal. he must have had some idea of the songs timing beforehand though right?
As long as it's a song you can dance WCS to, you already know the timing. Now, hitting the breaks can sort of be intuited but it's most consistent if you know the music. And each of them definitely knew the second song thoroughly (the guitar section and 'hops')
Wow great job in my younger days my mother and sister taught me how to dance I did it to get the girls then I found out I love dancing and even at my age I can still do it and by the way I get the younger girls I love watching dancing from prose great job
she is amazing! he is good but she is amazing
Awesome
Good job:)
👏👏👏👏👏nice
Sonho aprender west coast 🙌🏼❤️
So do
Envidiable la manera en que baila esté amigo.

Ben is so young here!

Wow!
Awesome! What is the name of the 2nd song?
Perfecto

Does anyone know who the MJ cover is by?
Courtney Pike Diamanda Galas
+Courtney Pike Kurt Hunter
👍👍👍
Is there someone out there who could be so kind enough to help me get the title song of both dance numbers?
Ils dansent bien
@savoyboyben Thank You
Hi What was the title of the second song?
ela danca demais
I love west coast Swing more than east coast)))
Denis Ageev that's because east coast swing is a simplified, shittier version of a much better dance: Lindy Hop
What genre are these 2 songs?
so they just "wing it " most the time? Looks like it's a blast
This particular dance showed me that Ben, who was always a favorite dancer of mine, to watch, and admire, was totally attempting to throw Tess's timing off and instead, SHE countered every "strange move" he threw at her!!! What a honey of a dancer SHE IS. -slo-d-
que musica e esta?
who is intrepreting the 1st song please ?
alguien me puede decir como se llama este estilo de baile ???...muy bueno !!
West Coast Swing / El swing de la costa oeste
gracias, esta muy bueno el estilo.
So this is our state dance. Interesting.
we stan you 8 ben underscore
Is this big in the uk?
There are classed for West coast swing in the UK. If you Google it you will find them. I go to a class in Warrington in Cheshire. Much more basic than this to begin with. This is super advanced.
Tracy Lee Gray your sounding better then ever WOW u go girl mmmmmmmah we love you . da girls....
