When I heard it was Classical Music Night I thought "Oh, no..it will be SNOOZER"...but I have to say, I was presently surprised. They had a huge symphony plus a hot violinist named David Garrett with long pony-tailed hair that he kept violining out of his pony tail, perhaps on purpose.
First up was the "Dance Troop" doing the Paso Doble which was good..but again I gotta say, I don't LIKE it when I don't know either of the dancers. BUT it was better this time...not sure if it was because of the dance, the music, the fire, the violinist OR if I am just starting to get to know the "troop".
Then the competition began with Romeo and Chelsea doing The Paso Doble (and I wish they would say the name of the song they danced to-because I don't know the name and it always bugs me if I don't know the name of the song and the artist, not just on this show, in everyday life). Let me just start out by saying Romeo has some nice abs. I liked his energy and aggression in the dance and I liked the SONG, whatever it was. Their score 23
Next: Kendra and Louis doing the Vianese Waltz. Oh Yikes! Poor Kendra. You could tell that she was super nervous and it was just not as good as it could have been. There was an Opera Singer and call me low class but I just don't like Opera, I mean it is talent and all-but boring to me. Their score 18 (OUCH)!
Next: Sugar Ray and Anna dancing to the Nutcracker Suite...awww! (and bonus for me, I knew THAT song!) They showed Sugar Ray taking Ballet classes! How precious! He looked like he was having so much and you could tell he was trying soo hard. Their score 21-his highest score yet.
Next: Dimitry and Petra. They danced to a song I've heard a lot...can't think of the name, grrr. It was a good dance, probably the best I have seen of her. Dimitry was awesome...I wonder if this is his speciality. Their score 23.
Then it was the Dance Troop again (boo). And the Opera singer (boo again-sorry, I feel SOO rude). And speaking of boo...am I a bad blogger if I have a dance blog and it isn't fancy, and I don't have pictures, and clips, etc? Eh, maybe no one reads this and maybe this is just for me to give my opinions and to remember the seasons.
Next: Ralph and Karina doing the Waltz. They critiqued his hands in previous weeks, well his fingers really and he REALLY worked on them and it REALLY showed. I think they danced to the theme from Romeo and Juliet and I enjoyed the story and the romanticism! I liked his suit with the coat tails. Their dance was great, the best of the night for me. They also told him to work on his connection with her and he did that as well! I like someone who takes feedback well (I am a "Coach" at work, can ya tell?). I loved the judges comments-and I always love it when Bruon gets all animated. Their score PS: 25 Their highest score. I still can't get over how YOUNG he looks. I just had to say it AGAIN.
Next: Hines and Kym doing the Paso Doble..I didn't know the song. But I liked the power and the fierceness they brought to the dance. Again, so powerful that pony tailed guy's hair was a flyin'. I do have to say though, this season is getting tough with the competition. I also need to say that Carrie Ann is always a sucker for the "Stars" that are basketball/football players. He generally seems like a nice guy. Their score: 25 (tied for #1). The audience boo'd the score.
Next: Chelsea and Mark and the Vianese Waltz. Okay, the music was from Harry Potter and I have only ever seen the FIRST Harry Potter but I still knew the music. I was like "Um, how is THIS classical?" but oh well, it was entertaining. I always like Mark's choreography. THIS time he used the technical elements while still keeping it young and fresh. The judges loved it, and ranted and raved about it. It was good, but not first place worthy...but they scored 26 and they were the top of the night.
Next: Chris and Cheryl dancing the Paso Doble. They danced to a well known song, but I feel like an idiot not knowing the name. It was a very powerful dance and a well suited song for the dance. He is impressing me and I am starting to worry he may overtake some of my favorites! Is it weird that he is so short, I assumed all those wrestlers are tall. Well, their score was 23 (and I am totally worried about my little Kendra now!)
Next: Maks and Kirstie dancing the Waltz, I was looking forward to Kirstie's comeback. In the package it showed her having a previous injury and I started to worry about my favorites!!! Then they started out great (even though it was to some crazy Opera singing that I swear was on some Lindor Truffle commercial). Then her SHOE CAME OFF! BUT like the pro that she is, she quickly got it on and finished the dance. Can I just say that Maks is just so darn cute. I never drool after any guy, but his little tooshy is just so cute, I can't help it. Their score = 22 (PS, I am starting to think that she may be on some medication) Bravo to her for showing some belly, I wonder if that outfit was Maks idea. I can't help but wonder what "accident" may happen next week.
Overall there wasn't a dance that I just LOVED, that I watched over and over. Hopefully as the competition goes on, those dances will come.
