I found it interesting because he uses it to accent certain things in the music
and because he uses it very sparingly. When he does it, you can at times see
the suspension he gives her so that she doesn't step.
I enjoyed the video, though I think it looks a little stiff due to Mariana's
stiffness, not Sebastian. Her knees don't bend much, so that she doesn't
appear as grounded. I didn't think of it as robotic. Sebastian seemed really
intent on the music.
