Asuka and Jonathan, although good, just cannot meet the caliber of the others.  I think they could have, if they just worked harder.  During the rehearsal clip, Asuka’s lack of confidence was obvious. You have to be present, working and enjoying every single minute of this golden opportunity. Honestly, I don’t think the Many Moore piece was something to cry about…it wasn’t that difficult. Jonathan, although a cutie-patootie, he ruined the hip hop number.  If I was the choreographer, I would have gone to the restroom right after the piece so I could scream BLOODY MURDER!! For advanced dancers not be together on head bobs. Please?? Did you practice this piece at all?  I was afraid that Karla would be dragged down with Jonathan. I feel that she had energy and groove.  She could have kicked it up a notch or too though.  I am glad she didn’t get cut with Jonathan.
The group number on Thursday ROCKED!! Well, what else would you expect from Tabitha and Napoleon.  OMG!  I love those two!! What fun!  It was almost ballroom based and then the hip hop kicked in and Yowzah!!
Can’t wait until Wednesday! Let’s raise the difficulty of the pieces please! And….btw…I love almost all the costumes this year.  Come on…Melissa was just so beautiful in that outfit…see what ballet can do for you!!
