The elegant dance of Emeline Rochefeuille and Jordan Frisbee to “Macarena” set the internet ablaze, with fans gushing about the chemistry the pair shared on the dance floor at the Budafest dance competition. The video gained 34 million views, with viewers unable to get enough of how Rochefeuille gracefully moved around the dance floor as if she was floating on air, while Frisbee expertly led the dance.
What’s even more impressive is that the dance was performed spontaneously, as Rochefeuille and Frisbee were paired together randomly due to the Jack and Jill format of the event. Even the song was chosen on the spot, with the duo selecting it after the audience loudly recommended they go for the “Macarena” after it appeared as one of the three options.
Aside from the incredible skills displayed by Rochefeuille and Frisbee, the performance is also notable for just how much fun the couple and the audience are having. Rochefeuille’s smile is radiant throughout, and the audience is super hyped for the couple, adding an electric vibe to the dance. With Rochefeuille and Frisbee’s routine attracting 34 million views on YouTube, the spontaneous dance became one of the most popular dancefloor competition performances on the entire platform.
Netizens gave big ups to the couple, adding comments such as “Kudos to the girl who showed just excellent musicality and improvisational skills, and kudos to the guy who not only was an excellent lead, also gave her space to show off her skills” and “They look like they are having the time of their lives. I can’t help it, I keep smiling.” It’s not the only popular video that the event spawned, as Frisbee and Nicole Ramirez’s dance to “Man! I Feel Like a Woman!” also made a big splash on YouTube.
Rochefeuille and Frisbee performed at the 2020 Champions Jack and Jill competition at Budafest, which is a West Coast swing dance event in Budapest, Hungary. The Frisbee and Ramirez dance, meanwhile, was performed at the 2023 Budafest.
