Stephen Nedoroscik – Dancing with the Stars

introducing Airflair

The airflare (or air-flare) is one of my favourite skills on Floor.

… the 1990s, a dancer named Paulo Nunes in Europe had created the variation which is essentially the same move as the modern airflare. …

At that time in Europe it, was referred to as the airtwist. …

By the mid 1990s video arrived by way of EZ-Rock of Rocksteady which introduced the maneuver …

The video showed Nunes as well as a French b-boy who executed a move very similar to the modern airflare. …

Pablo Flores of Climax / Soul Control successfully performed continuous airflares completing the manifestation of the move. It is this modern form of the airflare that Morgan Hamm introduced into gymnastics, after learning it from the b-boy community. …

We await Airflare on POMMELS.

Then Beam. 😀

Breaking Gold – Ami Yuasa & Philip Kim

Breaking got a lot of attention at the Paris Olympics.

BUT it’s yet another subjective sport evaluated by flawed human beings.

Los Angeles will drop the sport, adding things like Softball and Touch Football.

There were two medal events, one each for men and women, with 16 “b-boys” and “b-girls” competing.

Philip Kim won in the men’s division. Ami Yuasa in the women’s.

Breaking was previously featured at the 2018 Summer Youth Olympics.

IOC President Thomas Bach stated that breakdancing was added as part of an effort to draw more interest from young people in the Olympics.

Men’s Breaking Olympic Final

I have absolutely no idea how this sport is evaluated. But it seems to me Phil Wizard showed more original moves.

Ellie Black – Floor Artistry

Judges and dance experts like Ellie’s choreography.

“The routine is basically about the past few years, which have been tough,” Canadian gymnast Ellie Black told Olympics.com after performing her stand-out new floor exercise at last year’s World Championships in Antwerp. …

The music entitled Rat D’Hotel by Maxime Rodriguez, starts with the sound of a storm brewing, movements throughout include her body crumpling inwards before rising up, and a single finger to her lips is repeatedly used in a shush gesture. …

“I’ve been working really hard with Julia, my choreographer, and just to share that story, make the audience hopefully really think about what the story is, and to connect with them and the judges. I was really happy with the artistry and the whole routine all together.”

best group choreography EVER

At first I thought video editors had adjusted the speed of the dancers in order to hit the musical beats more perfectly …

… BUT I don’t think so. Watch the speed of hair flying. Looks like real time.
