I think the difference is that in ballroom the drama is not at the expense of the footwork or the choreography. Dance cannot be just frantic upper body movement and facial expressions, while the feet maintain balance. Weaver & Poje managed a wonderful combination of movement and drama this year with their Je suis malade program. There was a clear story, beautifully expressed, but not at the expense of what was going on below the knee.
I did not know blue dog was referring to the upper body movement at the expense of footwork. I was just saying that the face in ballroom dancing is almost as important as everything else. Ballroom dancing has enough of its own drama going on.
