NIGEL choreographed the Five Guys routine! I recall it as pretty frenetic - lots of running around.
Overwhelming? How much more than whelming would that be exactly?

What a difference between the Canadian kids' Paso and Kupono and Randi! Wow, that's the way a Paso should be done.

The sytycd community on LJ tells me the choreo from the Paso was mostly recycled from the Canadian version, and there is a link to how it was danced there (much, much better)
With much better music as well.

I'm starting to think Evan is limited as Philip in the way he moves. What he does, he does really well, but he can't really change his game at all
Loved Jeanine's solo! And Jeanette's. And Kupono's solo may have been my favorite of his. Too bad about the Paso.
Randi can go.

TC:M - the complaints about needing a knife and fork to eat one fried shrimp are boggling my mind. You pop it in your mouth and chew, people, it's not hard.
I've never watched Top Chef, but I'm enjoying this edition.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
I adore Evan. But I think what bothers me about him is not just that he doesn't, but how he thinks he can't change his motion. Just do it, brother. I love African dance and started incorporating the motion as soon as I'd seen it. Just as a kid, you know. I think dancers, like musicians, are better off for having been exposed to other styles of their art from early on. Try it out, see how it feels. And throw yourself into it. Are you going to look foolish sometimes? Yes, you totally are. Are you going to grow from it? Absolutely.
That's why I miss the loss of our shiny toy so much, because of his passion to explore the other genres of dance. That's a hungry artist, and one who will find his art worth pursuing.

Seriously. Kudos to him for pushing back. "Um, I left the tail on. In Sweden the tail is the fork."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The tail is the fork in Italy, no?
Chiarello is so skeevy! Ew.
