The competition took place in a huge warehouse with plenty of lights, music, people, and of course, the source of all great dance moves (at least for me), alcohol.
The crowd stood on either side of a long runway that was more or less U-shaped and watched as the couples in the finals danced their way along the floor.
Now, I’ve tried some pretty basic two-stepping in my time.
It’s relatively easy to catch onto and if you can keep your feet moving in the right direction, you are free to spin your partner around with your arms.
However, what we see in this video is not your average two-step dance routine.
These moves were seriously impressive.
There we girls being spun around on the floor, guys jumping over their partners, and plenty of dips and twirls.
It really was a fun completion to watch, but I had a hard time telling who was better.
All of the couples had some really impressive moves and by the time the competition was over, I wasn’t sure if any single pair was better than the others.
I’ve got to be honest though, even when they were screaming for their favorites, it was still hard to decide who got the loudest cheers.
But it really doesn’t matter who won anyways.
Dancing is less about competition and more about have fun.
It’s probably one of the earliest forms of recreation.
According to Live Science, “Early humans might have danced to attract a mate, as far back as 1.5 million years ago, according to Steven J. Mithen, an archaeologist at the University of Reading in the United Kingdom.”
They go on to say that, “Dancing was a way for our prehistoric ancestors to bond and communicate, particularly during tough times. As a result, scientists believe that early humans who were coordinated and rhythmic could have had an evolutionary advantage.”
