Music: Capone by Hardiman / him in black with white suspenders & red tie her in black /
Nice close bluesy dance / comb lift with her upside down to rot lift - nice / spin is excellent - good pos & right with music / one arm rot lift / midline steps very close holds and matching pos - with music / some fast dancing into O ftwrk that shows great edges - sorry I can't keep up with writing what they're doing / I know I'm biased but this is just a fantastic dance so completely in character of the music and something happening all the time. They finish with a stationary rot lift (think spin with him in sit and her not touching the ice ) - unique and very hard to describe.
