There's a few things in there causing some talk over on bhuz... but really - other than the guy taking his shirt off - I didn't like that. (either on or off would have been fine but disrobing - squicks me out. His dancing was very good. I did like the woman with the wine glass - having done backbends & balance I thought it was pretty impressive. (although maybe the fake drunk bit was a little... cheesy...)
see the clip...

The hiccupping was annoying and she did it a few times. Not needed. CLearly, if she was drunk she wouldn't be dancing that well.
I know what you mean about taking the shirt off being icky. I'm good with dancers having a cover up, like a veil, and then taking it off. Once you have to get into taking off clothing, it just looks too close to stripping. He obviously needs some help trying to think of a male version of a veil/cape.
