  2. This is honestly the CUTEST thing I have ever seen! The entire video was about a baby and a grown-up dancing together using contact improv. The unique aspect about this was that the grown-up made it seem like there were actual weight shifts between him and the baby. The baby carried and shifted weight which was very cool because the baby was just having fun seeming to not know what game the adult was playing. Also every time the baby would climb back on its hands and feet, it would also end up on the adult in a new way which was very interesting. Instead of the man being limited because he's working with a baby, he used it to his advantage because he could carry the baby multiple ways while the baby just trusted him. The last thing I noticed was that this duet was more interesting/exciting than any other couple dancing in the video. It wasn't just because this was a new experience for me to watch a baby dance, but because the interactions just connected so much more than any others. I think that's because when you're a baby you don't think about what you're going to do, you just do it. You also don't care what you look like, you just want to have fun and that's exactly what was portrayed in this video :)

  3. I agree with Meghan. Babies do not care what they look like and will just go for without caring what they look and to take it a step further, I would say that we could learn a lot from the baby and its attitude. Personally, I am always conscious of what I look like and worrying what others think and I feel that if I had the same attitude as the baby not only dancing would be easier, but my life would also be easier.

  4. I would like to say that this video is very entertaining to watch. I liked to see how the man just danced with such passion not that worried about what the baby. In my opinion he had caution about the baby but he seemed to be so calm through out the dance. On 55 seconds was my favorite part in the video because of how pretty the roll looked, he made it seem so easy but im pretty sure it had concern for the baby. I think it defines partnering because they need each other through out the whole thing, the baby needs to be with him as he needs her.

  5. I think with this video it allows us to see that we don't need to be the same size or height to let us have a partnering dance. This video also shows like how its okay when dancing to be free to just go for it and to not really think so much about like whats next or anything else just moving freely and going with the flow is the best approach in dancing. The other dancers around the man and the baby I think were a comprising of how we as dancers are in partnering and then the man and the baby are the way we should be.

  6. I really like how in the start the guy has the girl holding on to him and how when the man moves the baby finds a way to get back on and off of him and how at around 00:53 how the baby just drags along on his movement. Alos how the baby finds a way to continue to hold on. I also like how the man works with the baby to keep it up on him and being able to do continuos movements with the baby still hold on up right. I especially like the part a 1:40 when he turns and she is on his shoulder and he is spinning her and the how she slowly spins and unravels down him back to the ground. Overall I like the whole dance and how that their partnering is very balanced even if she is smaller then he is they still compliment each other.
