When I say this, I am refering to Jason Gardiner in particular (Alonzo in the movie). Alonzo especially is interestesting because of how he dances. The only way I can describe it is that each movement is "climactic", if that makes sense.

What I am trying to say is that each stroke he does is light, then a powerful wollop, then down again; all in a single movement.

The best way I can demonstrate this is through explaining an exact scene in the film. We all know the Jellicle Ball scene, (which in my opinion is the third best part. Second being Skimbleshanks and First being Mungojerrie and Rumpleteazer. [love you Jo Gibb!]) now go to about a minute and a half in were Mistoffelees and Alonzo are flirting with Bombalurina.(Alonzo for the most part XD) Alonzo steps in and quickly bends at the knees down and back up with a smooth transition. Next, doing a teapot gesture, (that's what I'm calling it, dont judge) spins and jumps tward Bombalurina. Each jump is taken by a spin and a spin by a jump consectively, spins being less stressed while the jumps provide the climax. Then Alonzo does a kind of triple arm twirl at Bombalurina, (with each time he points tward her being stressed) and then it's followed by a leg swing. This swing is actually extremely climactic in itself, Alonzo sort of "charges"  his leg backwards than releases the kinetic energy to swing it foward. That one second charge kick in itself is a huge BANG when the leg goes back, and another BANG when the leg comes forward. The final piece I share is directly afterwards which is my favorite Alonzo move. He leaves Bombalurina and twirls his arms about three or four times. Each swing is a BANG, and it is even prevalent through the music, which gets louder every time he swings.

This is why I am so intrigued by Alonzo, maybe this could help you understand Alonzo a bit more? You probably think I'm crazy for writing all of this out, but it's mostly for the reason that I am bored. Hope you enjoyed my breakdown XP!

PS: Don't even get started on Rumpleteazer, I could go on forever!
