Wonder why he is posting these sped up wonky videos instead of linking to the real ones.

Of the traditional competitive ballroom dances, Another Lonely Night would best fit as a Foxtrot. Although it doesn't have quite the right vibe for a traditional "smooth" type Foxtrot, but works well as a "swing" type Foxtrot. International style Foxtrot tends to use the more "smooth" type Foxtrot music, but American style Foxtrot tends to use either the "smooth" or "swing" type Foxtrot music. Personally, the dance that ALN makes me want to do is West Coast Swing!! It is perfect for West Coast Swing!! It would even fit as a slower East Coast Swing, but is too slow for a Jive and doesn't quite have a Jive feel. There are a lot of songs that are very interchangeable between Foxtrot, West Coast Swing, and East Coast Swing as they have that "swing" feel to the beat. ALN is slow enough for an American style Rumba (which is faster than an International style Rumba). But it has the entirely wrong rhythm structure for a Rumba as it has a very strong "swing" rhythm. But someone could do a remix with a Rumba rthytm and it would fit beautifully. I could get far more technical about dance rhythms and what makes a song "feel" like one dance or another, if anyone really wants to know. While I'm at it, my ideal dance for Ghost Town would be a Hustle. The sections with a heavy beat would also work for Cha Cha. And one could even dance West Coast Swing to Ghost Town. (West Coast Swing is THE most versatile dance there is. It can work for a lot of different types of music, including a lot of pop music.) I would love to hear more detail about this, DancyGeorgia! OK, since the answer is VERY technical, I created a new thread in the Vocal Masterclass thread called "Dance Rhythms". It also points to several previous posts in the "QAL Somebody to Love analysis" thread under the Vocal Masterclass thread. adamtopia.com/post/691503/thread

Terrance did several snapchats. He's in his hotel room in McAllen, Texas. Showed he and Dani on the plane from earlier. Don't think it's any surprise but PeterKeys posted he was gonna be gone from home for 3 weeks. He's been with Adam since the beginning of TOH. So he's gonna be gone from home for 3 weeks, up to Dec 17, will be back home for few days then gone again for months. I hope he will be with Adam on the world wide TOH tour. I like him. He's the kind of guy who stays in the background.

I watched this YT and this video appeared as one to watch next. It's a very beautiful routine at a very beautiful scene. You guys really need to watch this video. Reminded me of one of that famous female choreographer's routines from SYTYCD. Thanks for sharing that video. Lovely to see two strong, graceful bodies moving to Mad World! Anyone recognize where this was filmed? BEAUTIFUL!!! In case anyone is wondering, in the ballroom competition world, this dance would be in the Theater Arts category. Generally, only the larger dance competitions would have a separate Theater Arts category. The most prestigious ballroom competition in the world held in Blackpool, UK in May, (basically, the world ballroom championships) has a Theater Arts category. Smaller ballroom competitions are more likely to have a Show Dance category which would include the Theater Arts dancers plus others.
