Ivan wins her over. Caitlynn surprises Marty with soul. The routine was cute and simple, but there was nothing really amazing about it. Ivan looks adorable. I thought he did a fantastic job and he accentuated his movement better than Caitlynn did. Love that he puts his hat in front of him and Caitlynn when he goes to kiss her before leaving. Grade: B- Mary: Ivan is amazing. Nigel: Caitlynn needs to get down and into it more. She needs to get a base. Needs to stop relying on her center. Ivan moved through the movement.
She needs to lose herself more in her performance. Performance: Ade, Ade, Ade, you are a handsome handsome man. And I think he looks better than he has! Okay, so, I felt like Jordan could have had a little more fun with it. Cool parts: When Ade picks Jordan up and spins her, that last lift when he lifts her over his head and she puts her legs straight up and points them. Fun routine. Rob: Throws herself into abandon which I agree Mary: Does astonishing things with her body and makes them look amazing.
Note: I feel like the judges are really pushing for Jordan. She is an amazing dancer and has crazy legs. Can someone explain it to me? The routine is athletic and the lifts and transitions need to look effortless.
Melanie and Neil are pretty amazing together. Other cool part:. When she rolls herself over his body, when he lifts her up and around, then he brings her down and she lands on one leg, the other leg straight.
Mouth wide open. She would hire her on her tour. Rob: Watching her is like magic. He liked the end where she threw away the dance and played the scene. That jump was amazing. Nigel: She nailed it, and his heart. No story, just celebrating dance. Performance: I love this song!
I really do. And those words also describe the dance. It was high energy, fast paced, and had a lot of tricks and lifts and techniques. I think Ricky did a great job. He spun her around and just looked like he was having a lot of fun. I enjoyed the performance. Grade: B Rob: His smile is amazing.
Mary: He missing some things in the beginning, but then he pulled it out once the routine got going. Needed to get down as in lower to the ground, not the other thing…. Gaga: Has a sweet spot for him. He felt modern, more modern than Anya. Lauren was able to hit every beat and punch, and Jess definitely kept up with her.
They were in sync and emoting right. Jess definitely grows on me day by day and he adapts really well to other styles. I like him more when he actually plays characters on the more serious side.
PS: Did you see the way Lauren stormed off stage at the end of the routine? Ice Ice Baby. Loved it! His articulations and isolations were good agree. He had swag semi-agree. He takes comments in. Gaga : Has respect for Broadway dancers.
It was simple, pure, and beautiful. NOTE: Jess was very serious during his critiques, but then a bit of himself came out when Cat was giving out the number to call.
Dare I saw I miss that Jess a little? Who : Tadd and Lauren F. It needs to be calm, cool, and collected. Performance: Lauren danced circles around Tadd man. That she did. He was a bit more mellow this performance and I think he could have showed off a bit of himself more in the dancing. Nigel says his hat fell off and he got bumped in the face. And I forgot it was about a heist. Is Michael Jackson-esque. He absorbed the style like a sponge.
But she loved it and the clothes I loved the clothes too! Rob : Tadd is very very special. Mary : Tadd was cool and looks like a young Elvis Pressley. She calls him into the finale. Performance: This was the least weird piece Sonya has done in a while…and I loved it.
Sonya, Allison Holker, Marko, what more can you ask for in a routine? Choreographers love for Allison to dance to Jeff Buckley routines. Remember the other Jeff Buckley routine with that other Asian guy? But to the dancing… Allison is amazing. You know I love that girl, and could watch her dance forever.
Marko made her look good! I loved when Marko dragged her across the stage into a split. I loved when she jumped into his arms with her feet and legs straight out it was such a great visual , I loved when they both threw each other across the stage.
So beautiful. So sweet. Though I was much more moved during judging when Marko declared his love for his mother. Rob : Allison is amazing and watching the together is incredible. Mary : That was amazing. She loves his sincerity and honesty.
He takes his dancing to another level than anyone else. Remarkable momet for a son to tell his mother that he loves them. Some are. Caitlynn does look gorgeous though. I love her styling. Mary : It was beautiful, not the most memorable routine. Needs more power. Then she goes into a bunch of dance terms and she lost me at power. Nigel : In Heaven, watching it. Gaga : Caitlynn needs to relax the hands something about trophies but she loved it and wanted to dance up there with them.
Performance: I always like it when guys dance with each other. It brings a different energy to the routines. At first these two contemporary dancers look like hip hoppers — complete with that powerful duo jump with the broom. But slowly the flaws come out. Marko definitely has more swag than Ricky. He gets lower to the ground and he seems to be feeling the beat a bit more. Near the end when the beat speeds up, it gets a little strange and the boys are getting tired.
For example, Marko had problems getting out of that almost split. Camera cut to Tabitha after that routine. They cleaned the whole place. They had a good vibe. Nigel : It was a lot of fun. Ricky is still too high for him. But the aerial swipes were fantastic I agree. Calls Ricky in the bottom — Gaga is so upset! Rob : Choreography was exquisite. He was astonished by both their ranges. Why does everyone try to get out of a relationship with Jess?
Performance: I saw where the choreographer was going with this. I saw what could have been a hot, and intense routine. But something still felt a bit off, maybe the chemistry? Jess did a cool back-reverse-spin lift with Jordan, but other than that the performance was lackluster.
I wish this routine was done with Chelsie and Josh. There were a lot of issues and no chemistry. Rob : They brought out the best in each other. They worked from an acting stand point. Mary : Back split lift was best of season. Chemistry and elasticity through arms was lacking. Together they will be sensational. Performance : This routine had Sonya written all over it. I feel like the girls could have hit it a bit harder. But it was pretty good.
It was intense, but it could have been more intense. The ending was pretty cool. The judges and audience really liked it a lot, but not as much as I did.
Mary : Best number Sonya has ever done. The girls brought strength and power but with elegance and beauty. Nigel : Sonya unleashed the beasts. That was quite a show today. I actually really liked what Lady Gaga had to say. Nigel: You just need to open your legs a little more and get your firmer base.
Love her mic was off for that comment. With Ricky and Caitlynn going home. What did you think of these performances? What was your favorite? Are you as infatuated with Allison Holker as I am? Who do you think is going home tomorrow? This is it folks. This is the day that decides who will be in our Top This time, I want her sparkly black eye shadow.
I definitely think those white things strategically placed over her chest, needs to go. Also, the contestants will be dancing twice. Couple 1, First Routine. There was a section in the middle where the pace slowed down, and it showed some of their weaknesses.
He seems like an intense type of dude. Although he had great character and stage presence, I feel like he needs a little more. Sasha is great, and I think it could benefit her well with a new partner. Love the little surprise kiss at the end. Grade: B- for effort Nigel : Alexander kept up with Sasha. It was a bit sloppy but he was much stronger than before. Sasha is strong did brilliantly. Mary: The routine was hot. Sasha is fearless. Alexander had a break through. He was strong.
Jesse : Sasha is a pillar of strength, and Alexander stayed with her. Sonya : Sasha rocks her socks. Rehearsal : The routine is a metaphor for women who take advantage of weak men. Jordan is a vulture and Tadd is a deserted wanderer. Performance: This is the most intense piece Travis has done. His Mr. And Mrs. Smith routine a couple seasons ago was crazy, but not as intense as this routine.
This piece caught my attention with the first beat of the song. The little neck break at the end was perfect. Tadd just amazes me. Jordan had some great moments, but Tadd definitely outshined her. Good work, Travis, but get a little weirder please. Grade: A- Mary: Beautiful. Jordan demolished it. Jesse : Jesse is adorable.
Tadd is in it to win it. A lot. Nigel : It was remarkable. Tadd incorporated his b-boy style into the piece. The pair were tremendous. Rehearsal : In this routine, Ricky fantasizes a movie star from a poster coming to life.
Ryan is old Hollywood glamour. Ricky is smooth. Spencer says the two are going to have to fight hard to get into the top Performance : This routine felt simple. Not to say that I could do it if I tried, but it looked and felt simple.
Ryan was cute and for once her goofy smile fit with the routine, but the routine was missing something. Frank Sinatra has this epic and grand feel to him and they were lacking that. Grade: C Jesse : Their abilities were more than what the performance allowed them to do.
I agree Sonya : No matter what you get the execution is key. She felt like they were questioning everything. Mary : They started off great, but then they lost the style. They could have done more with the steps they were given. Performance: Whoa, Caitlynn got into it man. They had some great tutting moments in there, when they were using their arms and hands to emphasize the beat, and Caitlynn was hitting it hard. Grade: B- Sonya: She got lost in translation when it was too jumbled and they were not in unison.
It fell a little bit short. Jesse: They dance with so much power. They just have to get the passion and character of the dance. Louie is teaching the couple great discipline. That bit where he dips her off the side of the stage was sexy, but then they had a little issue getting up. However, their faces are just right. The end trick is surprising, I just wish they landed it stronger.
It was almost there. Overall, good effort, they worked hard at it. Melanie was sexy, and Marko adapted well, but it could have been more. Grade: B- for effort Nigel: Much better than what they did at rehearsal. Mary: It could have been better, but it was a really hard routine and they did well. Jesse: They both possess a spark. They both have it and no one is taking that away.
I did see that spark! Sonya: Every time they dance, they make her lose her breath. They have conviction, even when they falter. Note : The dancers seem to be struggling more this episode.
Because they are finally dancing out of their comfort zones. Bring it, Nigel. Clarice finds it challenging because of the intricate and fast tutting. Guess he remade it. I think Jess adapted to hip-hop really well. And he definitely dominated this routine. He just eased right into those b-boy tricks. Clarice was pretty good. I felt like Jess had a little more to do than she did, which is unfortunate, but she had little moments that I enjoyed. And I loved the portion of the dance where they danced in unison.
Grade: B Mary: It was a cute and innocent number. Happy Opposite Day, I loved it! Clarice do you have a boyfriend? I do too, but I think we should get married!
You make me so happy. You just have this light within you. Nigel : He loved the simple story. Alexander appreciates that Tyce allows them to be themselves. They are putting their story into this piece. Performance: You can tell they really enjoyed dancing this piece. They were so powerful and so care free. While it wasn't exactly shoved down our throats that the piece was about suicide, Nigel really took it there in his critique when he went on a tangent about how he'd recently lost two friends "through suicide and through stupidity," before railing against suicide as a concept and admitting that "it hurt me a great deal to watch this routine tonight.
Meanwhile Jesse Tyler Ferguson took the opportunity to openly hit on Ricky. More about this in a sec. More than any other choreographer Travis Wall always seems to be working through some IRL relationship struggles via his work. This one suggested a sort of one-sided relationship where one person tries to understand how the other would want to leave her, only to grow tired of it and leave him.
A simple but stirring concept executed flawlessly. Again, it felt lived-in and observed in a way that a fluffy Mandy Moore contemporary usually doesn't. Yeah, I said it. Tangent: No Mia Michaels at all this season? What's the deal? First of all, hey, Spencer Liff! Second of all, the judges kept comparing Jessica to Jessica Rabbit and it was actually very accurate. Both she and Zack imbued what could have been Broadway with charisma and even some heat.
I'm not a huge Broadway person, but I really dug this one. Personally I just love same-sex pairings on this show. They don't even have to be romantic! Boys may dance with each other if the routine is about fighting. Except that one time it was about fighting AND being boyfriends. Nonetheless, the couple separated because of some variations.
She partnered with Vince Gill whereas contributing visitor vocals on Cledus T. Fellow Dancing with the Stars performer Jenna Johnson was a bridesmaid at her marriage ceremony. Additionally, there are not any rumors concerning her relationships and affairs. Sonya Eddy was born in […] A few of his star-studded clientele contains Jason Derulo. Marty Kudelka was born in Dallas, in September […] Beforehand, they dated for a quick period of time. Moreover, there are not any particulars about her ethnicity.
She is of American nationality. Hamlin solely got here […] Both were included in Program 2. Everything else in the three programs fell somewhere in between. Unveiling proves, if proof was needed, that Reclamation Map was no fluke.
Unveiling will be on my list for It took a bit longer for this one to hit, mostly because, like Reclamation Map , to a large extent Unveiling is a creature of its music, and I initially found the music very difficult to listen to or understand. But after awhile, my ability to understand the music, which was composed and performed live on stage by Moses Sumney, became less important than the nature of the sound he was creating.
The sound transmitted by his voice, and the emotional agony of an apparently splintered spirit that the sound expresses, create a soundscape that Tayeh uses as the basis for her choreography. Together with the lighting landscape created by Davison Scandrett and the dramatically understated costumes by Marion Talan, the images are apocalyptic, albeit on an intimate level.
Because they are. Abrera is a consummate technician, but here the technique is subservient to the inner passion she exudes. Their dances together she and Fairchild , simply put, are extraordinary examples of compassionate and passionate choreography and execution, concurrently simple and complex, and always meaningful. To try to describe what the movement looked like would simplify it; suffice it to say the two of them were luminous, and seeing Abrera go beyond any apparent comfort zone she may have was alone worth the price of admission.
The piece soars with energy, artistic sensibility, and soul — and it shows that Graf Mack has lost none of her stage presence, and seemingly none of her technical prowess, since her retirement. When Beach Birds began — with posing, limited movement, and frozen images — I thought I was going to see another of those dances in which form, minimal movement, and lack of connection between the dancers and each other, and between what was happening on stage and the audience, made watching them tiresome.
Program 3 opened with dancers from The Mariinsky Ballet in the U. Each of the three couples displayed the same qualities, which were reflected in the accompanying music — three pieces by Heitor Villa-Lobos. As the more mature couple, Nadezhda Batoeva and Konstantin Zverev had the more difficult task of playing off the cuteness and the youthful passion of the other couples, but carried it off. She and her partner danced superbly — and later that week, following the company engagement in Washington, she was promoted to First Soloist.
That it might have been clearer in this presentation, or more clearly understood, was the only deficiency in this FFD performance. Technically, it did.
