They're already my favorite couple. I think they were great, and man, jive *is* fun. It's related to swing, I guess?
It's weird for me, not knowing ANYTHING about dance, to hear Mary and Nigel's criticisms, because wow, I did not pick up on any of that.
We have a new Gordon Ramsey's The F Word tonight. (I'm not sure how "new" it is - but it is, I believe, new to the USA.)
I picked up on it a little, but Evan is such a strong partner and their unison was so good I was willing to let the rest go.
Not happy with that Shane Sparks routine. I do think the dancers fell down on the job, but I don't think it was that strong a choreography job, either. I'm left with a big pile of meh.
Damn. Doriana pulled out all the stops on that disco routine! And Brandon and Jeanette did a great job with it. Wowza! The lifts!

Yeah. I'm starting to get some stuff, but sometimes I'm still really surprised with what they come out with.
Not on that first Shane Sparks number, though. That was a hot mess all the way around.
I've missed a couple now, because my mother called. ::glares southward::
I've realized I also don't much about the different styles of dance. What is jazz, exactly? Like, how is it different than contemporary? Tempo and lines?
Jazz in seen most in the angles, hands and feet. Contemporary is smoother, more like ballet but with less pointy feet.
Ah! I was going to say it seemed like contemporary was maybe more fluid.
man, i've missed BFree on this show. such a great choreographer.
