When the couple starts dancing to “Bare Necessities,” the room is filled with laughter… Watch the video below…
Most of us would want to prepare and know what to anticipate if we were about to perform in front of a crowd. One duo of swing dancers, however, had no idea what sort of music the DJs had selected for them to perform to during a competition. When the duo is presented with a lively and well-known song, they don’t hold back! It’s a special swing dancing video that will have you tapping along and longing for your younger years.
Stefanie Tschom is from Austria, while Laszlo Tarkanyi is a West Coast Swing teacher from Budapest, Hungary. Both of them participated in the Vienna-based 2019–2020 SwingVester competition. The couple was set to perform in front of all the other contestants on stage during the Strictly Open final. However, they had no idea that things were about to turn “crazy.”
The host asked the DJs to choose a song that could be described as “adventurous” since the dancers did not know what music they would be given to dance to. On a scale of 1-10 for how adventurous he wanted the song to be, he asked for a 10! He humorously commented to the couple, saying, “I’m just going to say, we’ll pray for you.” The DJs prepared the best possible strategy for Laszlo and Stefanie to really stir things up. The music began to play slowly at first, and the duo circled around each other in a lovely dance on the floor. It appeared that nobody in the room was aware of what was coming their way. After a few seconds, the song’s lyrics started playing, and everyone immediately recognized it as “The Bare Necessities” from Disney’s The Jungle Book!
Even the couple couldn’t help but break into laughter as the room was suddenly filled with laughter and cheering. Nevertheless, they had to get down to the serious work at hand. They immediately broke out into a dance in the manner of West Coast Swing that was entertaining, vibrant, and flowed well with the music. Both Laszlo and Stefanie have such a high level of experience that they seemed to fly around the floor on their feet. They worked really well together and executed all of their moves perfectly.
