To be great dancing partners, a pair needs more than just awesome moves and great dancing skills. For them to succeed and be popular, they need to have awesome chemistry as well. They need to know each other and be able to dance as one whenever they perform.
Jason Colacino and Katie Boyle have been dance partners for a long time.
They’ve performed numerous times together. And considering how long they’ve been partners, it’s not surprising how they’ve learned to match each other’s performance.
One particular video of the pair has been going viral on the internet.
In the video, you won’t see any fancy outfits or expensive props. Even the costumes Jason and Katie were wearing looked simple. And because of that, they were able to impress their audience more.
The pair moved with ease.
It’s like their bodies knew how to interpret the song with movements. Their steps were so flawless and every move they made was light and airy. The entire performance was done with great skills and precision.
Some moves were slow and sensual while others were quick. The pacing kept everyone excited about the pair’s next move.
Most of the people who were able to watch the pair’s performance online have nothing but praises for them.
One of them said:
“Have never seen such awesome light footed dancers. Graceful, perfect in every way. Bravo!!!!!!”
Another one commented:
“This is so perfect, I have watched every video on these dancers and they are just amazing. Beautifully done. Good thing this is all on video so I can see them again and again.”
Unfortunately, soon after the video was taken, Jason passed away.
The 32-year-old dancer died from pneumonia and cardiac arrest because of his enlarged heart.
His death came as a shock not just for his fans but his partner and the dancers who became close to him.
Ms. Teddy Kern, Director of Dance Manhattan Studio, shared:
“As a performer, he was elegant, graceful, dignified, and composed – never flashy or common in his choices – and the MOST sensual and athletic Swing dancer I’ve ever seen,”
US Open Champions Brent and Kellese Key said:
“Jason was by far one of the sexiest men in the WCS community. His style and his focus on his partner made every girl in the building want to be Katie.”
Even after his death, people who watched his performances still couldn’t believe what happened.
One viewer said:
“Their dancing is the best ‘literal’ interpretation of music I’ve ever witnessed. This talent and quality made their performances awesomely enjoyable. RIP Jason Colacino; what a sad tragedy.”
Even though Jason is gone, his legacy lives on.
It’s not easy to forget someone like him. He’s considered one of the best dancers in the industry. He had this unique way of mesmerizing the audience with his moves.
Fortunately, with the internet and the videos of his performances, people can still watch him move and groove.
