You are probably correct about Santa's exposure to stepping. On Campus Go a dance show featuring college dance groups, Santa and Rikimaru guested as special dance mentors. And later on their entire group Into1 attended during the group performances. Rochka was a dance mentor for one of the groups and they did a pretty good stepping routine. Santa and Rochka are friends so during the commercial break, Santa asked Rochka to teach him the movements. Those two make me laugh as they are both super fierce when battling, but in regular life they are super sweet softies. The only area that Santa is super critical in is dance. He has talked about it many times, to be perfectly honest this may be an uncomfortable conversation, so if anyone is sensitive to talk of child abuse, I would recommend leaving. Santa was told pretty much throughout his dance learning that he had no talent. And that he would never advance anywhere in dance, and that he was not as good as his peers. He credits working hard for all of his success, and to this day he says that he has no special talent in dance. He talks about how when he was a child his father told him that he could train him to advance. He says he was not corrected for skill mistakes but any negativity in attitude was met with being beat with either a wooden sword to the leg or a folding chair to the face. He does not make any indication that he sees what he went through as abuse, because as he says his father did help him advance. Being the best in Japan by age 14 and the youngest world champion at that time at age 17. I guess in his mind since he got the outcome he was promised, he can't complain on the method. But if you have ever seen the talent show he was on, Chuang 2021 (China's produce 101) he states with the most lost look on his face, that he wishes he could have more fun in relation to dance and not take it so seriously all the time. Yes it is not fair for him to have preconceived notions about Akane's dance but I hope you can understand him a bit better now. He is not doing it from a malicious stand point he genuinely wants to help her advance, and him being tough in her judging is his way of telling her areas she can improve. We again didn't see the whole stage during her choreography about the cell phone use, but it seemed like large chunks of it relied on acting and was very light in dance/skills. Maybe that's what he meant when he wants to see "her" dance. Sorry for the length of this post. π
