And so the competition begins! Week #1 of live shows:
Mariah & Carlos - Jive
Crazy flips and lifts! They both had really good energy and it looked like their technique was pretty good. Their kicks and flicks were a little out of sync in a couple places, but overall it was really good.
Jasmine M. & Alan - Contemporary
Yay for Travis Wall! I love the routine already, before even seeing it. OMG they're blindfolded!!! You can feel their chemistry, even though they are blindfolded (Mary noticed it too!). I love the story. Travis always does such an awesome job telling a story that's easy to figure out, and then picking great music to compliment it. These 2 have really great technique and absolutely sold the piece. Great job! That trust fall (or drop, as Wayne Brady said) at the end was crazy!
Malece & Jade - Jazz
Another Travis routine! What a great beat in the music. They are working very well together. It's a very different routine from what Travis usually puts together, but it's very entertaining and fun to watch even though it's on the more serious side.
Jenna & Tucker - Broadway
I think Jenna might be my favorite girl this season. There seems to be a lot of messing with the props and lots of frantic moving around, but not a whole lot of dancing going on. That's disappointing because these 2 are such good dancers. The dancing they did was great, but there wasn't much of it. They definitely played their parts and characters well.
Brittany & BluPrint - Afro Jazz
It wasn't as good as I hoped it would be. I think they did a good job with the choreography they were given, but it was a bit boring in places. Which sounds odd for an Afro Jazz piece.
Alexis & Nico - Hip-Hop
Love Christopher Scott, and welcome back Cyrus! This routine really played to both of their strengths and gave them each a chance to shine in the spotlight. When they came together in unison, they were together just about the entire time. there was a ton of very intricate hand movements and other really technical moves and they handled it all so great! (I obviously watched something different than Nigel did.) I love these 2!
Makenzie & Paul - Viennese Waltz
Very beautifully danced. They looked like hey were floating. All of their moves and lifts flowed seamlessly from one thing to the next. I liked the story and the props, it helped it not to be just a boring ballroom dance.
Jasmine H. & Aaron - Jazz
Love Sonya! Jasmine's legs bend in ways that just shouldn't be humanly possible! These two were just made for this routine. They both have incredible power behind every move they do. The entire dance was mesmerizing and awesome. Enough said.
Hayley & Curtis - Hip-Hop
Those 2 brought the chemistry. Very slinky and sexy hip-hop. They were in sync and each did really good.
Amy & Fik-Shun - Contemporary
Yay for another Sonya piece! I love Fik-Shun! I think he's amazing. For such a small guy, he can really do the lifts well. I love the emotion they both have. Wow, that slow cartwheel he just did was amazing! I don't know how they can hold some of those moves for so long. Absolutely amazing. Loved it!
