With constantly new impulses from the person you're dancing against, you're bound to come up with new combinations and twists. 

It's interesting to communicate with someone you get an immediate answer from. To dance Artistic Folk Dance at a competition is more monolog, whereas this type of competition is a dialog.

Eg elskar å tevle to mot to. Då får ein høve til å syne fram alt ein har utan å måtte tenke på oppbygning og avslutning.

Eg tykkjer det vert ekstra lett å leve seg inn i dansen og musikken då.
