There is not enough love for smooth/standard in this world. Rhythm/latin get so much of the love bc they’re energetic and like sexy or whatever but smooth is just as energetic, it’s graceful and got so much volume, it’s fast and powerful and flirtatious, it’s the push and pull and story of two people, and standard is beautiful too, it’s all connection and dimension and clean lines, it is history and art and science, it’s slow control and quick strength, and both of them are breath, sweat, the ache in your heels and your knees, the burning in you shoulders and back, the performance and the lights, the costume, the floor, the connection between you and the music and your partner and everyone watching.
