Junior II Latin
This marked a “double” for the Washington based pair Erik Linder & Rickie Taylor....
1. Erik Linder & Rickie Taylor (WA) 1,1,1,1,2. Erik & Rickie are a very successful 10-dance couple. For me the Latin is their weaker style in that it is a little lacking in passion. I would also like to see more precise leg action from Rickie. That being said, I thought they were worthy winners today.
