Lots of jazz hands with Whitney's "dancing," and lots of avoiding lower body/leg moving.
It's painfully obvious how less emotive her dancing is compared to the others. Even without audio I can tell that they're hitting the notes, following the beat, and telling a story; next to them, she looks like any other fat girl at a wedding, desperately trying to get the attention of the only single groomsmen.
You both are 100% right.
Whitney is hardly moving compared to the other dancers (especially the guy). She can't get as low as they do when they swerve, she sticks in one place and because she has no waist she doesn't show movement, if you know what I mean. Whenever there's any hip movement it looks like someone shaking a barrel from behind while the other dancers have flow and movement. She also starts to visibly lag behind the others.
I don't know shit about choreography, but it seems like the dance is tailored toward Whitney. She clearly isn't great, but the moves are still in her range so she can at least almost pull them off. I get that they aren't meant to be doing Dance Mom routines, but this seems a bit repetitive.
Also dressing her different doesn't help her blend in any better. If they couldn't find a coat in her size they should of had the other women just wear black. It's almost like someone edited her into the dance.
EDIT: I fast forwarded towards the end. JFC she's at least a half-move behind.
