So You Think You Can Dance Review: And Then There Were Six

We’re down to the final 8, and this format of losing 2 contestants a week is making it seem like they’re leaving faster than normal. In fact we have only two more performance shows remaining this season. I did like getting a few weeks with the contestants partnered followed by a few weeks with our all-stars, so all in all this year’s format has been, for me, the best since I’ve been watching the show.

Sasha grabbed a Quickstep with Pasha in tow, which normally would make me nervous but I’ve already decided Sasha can do anything attempts. The dance, set to “Puttin’ on the Ritz” by Terry Snyder and choreographed by Jonathan Roberts , came off flawlessly. Their lifts were great, Sasha’s carriage looked beautiful as her feet skimmed the stage and Pasha, well, he always looks lovely. The judges agreed and this week’s guest Rob Marshall confessed to Sasha that she’s his favorite dancer on the show. Nigel said so too, though he would, as usual prove to be fickle later in the night.

Catelynn pulled a Marty Kudelka Lyrical Hip-Hop routine with all-star Ivan Koumaev. They played the roles of a girl fed up with her boyfriend and the guy who wants to steal her away (set to “Let Me Love You” by Mario). I adore Catelynn doing Hip-Hop. She’s got great swagger and stage presence, something the judges don’t compliment her on often enough. I hate when pretty girls like her constantly get praised for their looks instead of their talent. The judges felt so-so about the routine last night.

Jess also grabbed a Hip-Hop routine, one he danced with all-star Lauren Gottlieb to “Take a Bow” by Rhianna. Napoleon and Tabitha D’omo did the choreographing honors, and gave the pair a concept revolving around a guy who’d bee caught cheating. I found the routine clean and simple, and the dancers emotionally invested. The judges praised Jess for his growth tonight and throughout the competition, but guest judge Lady Gaga dissed NappyTabs for the cheesy use of props and dated dance steps (in her opinion).

Melanie drew Contemporary and all-star Neil Haskell. Is it just me or does it seem like we haven’t really seen Melanie do anything but Contemporary this season? At any rate, this time she was blessed with choreographer Mandy Moore and a stunning routine set to “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie Tyler. She and Neil connected enough to be believable as lovers who refused to let go, and there was a moment where she ran full speed and leapt into his arms from at least six feet away, and it took my breath away. The number brought the judges, the audience, and probably some people at home to their feet. Gaga admitted Melanie was her favorite, and that she would hire her to dance with her company in a second. At this point Nigel changed his mind about Sasha being his favorite and claimed Melanie had stolen the top spot (in his eyes) once again.

Some say: “If you learn to walk then you learn to dance.” Whether foxtrot, waltz or rumba, we also need to develop the characteristics of the different branches dance, foxtrot and rumba of the regular step step is often very different, we have to discuss in this Latin dance is often step in a special style, usually it is called delay-step (Delayed Walks).

Rumba’s Latin dance step is often the essence,

Basically, too much talk about the details of the characteristics of Lombardy step is often the body’s movement, foot movement and quick feet straight, may have been in a fast pace to complete the front foot straight, Lombardy often features a lock-step or extreme step ahead of the extended position of the foot straightened. This is the first progress, of course, there is an internal foot rotation (rotation) shown by the Cuban hip movement (Cuban Motion). Assuming that everyone understand these words, let us discuss the delay step. What is a delay step: from literally can see a very obvious step is often delayed, in the end delay step is that in bending the knee to stay longer, so the heel in the depressed state of the delay yet. Maybe you can see in the reverse step, Ms. third step, then the use of hips to reverse the resulting lines, bent the knee to move through the left foot, then reverse the hips do more Step left foot forward, Step Right foot forward, Step left foot back. This is the delay step, knee compression (third step), I can say at the Walter Laird these items out of the new Latin dance techniques mentioned inside the book, does not mean that no previously mentioned. New ISTD technical manuals mentioned and it is called Pressed Forward Walk.

Delay step forward, knees straight: take a look at a technique to make a perfect mastery of the Alemana Ms. step. Ms. fourth step in, make a right turn with the left foot and the knee is straight and beautiful in her left foot, left knee playing straight man, and extension (delay) later her body’s center of gravity conversion, then use done quickly left foot 1 / 2 turn right, she has completed a step forward delay knee straight (IDTA). In the ISTD technology is so described in the manual “before stretching progress” (Extended Forward Wald). (Source: New Dance Sport)

Delay on the back step: of course; when the men dance in time to do Latin Cross; such as right-turn spiral snake (Natural Top) (right foot back & across) he is the delay in the low heel, a clear understanding of the knee must bend which is called it a “step back delay,” the knee kind of feeling of oppression. It is rather the knee straight, with less natural and more difficult to complete the delayed step back.
