Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I have loved every routine choreographed by show alumni. They seem to know just how to bring out the best in the dancers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

They probably also know how to choreograph for the time limits.

OMG, that music is so distracting. Also, I think Kupono's frame could have been stronger? Let's see what Mary says.

I thought Kupono was going to drop Randi on nearly every lift they did. Lordy. That really sucked.

All of the couples except the paso doble were good and so were the solos.

Here's something I've been wondering: Presumably they have rehearsal time on their own after working with the choreographers, right? Do the dancers ever take out the hard stuff on their own, do you think?
