Was he surreptitiously talking her through every combination, though? Very much so. Kenya Moore and pro Brandon Armstrong (Tango to “Womanizer”): “I never felt you were pushed by Brandon,” Bruno Tonioli remarked of this tango - and at least physically, yes, Brandon never appeared to be dragging Kenya through the choreography.
And that’s to say nothing of JoJo’s lines, which were truly gorgeous and so self-assured. JoJo Siwa and pro Jenna Johnson (Argentine Tango to “Baby One More Time”): I said it last week, and I’ll say it again: We’ve gotta give JoJo and Jenna the proper kudos for translating male/female choreography into female/female choreography, namely the three (!) lifts in this Argentine tango that were executed as skillfully and effortlessly as if it had been a male pro hoisting Jenna in the air. Christine remains one of the more proficient dancers in the competition, but the disconnect she’s experiencing with voters makes some sense: There’s not quite enough passion coming through in her movements yet, and there’s often a slight unsteadiness when she attempts a dip or trick. Judges’ Score: 19/30Ĭhristine Chiu and pro Pasha Pashkov (Paso Doble to “Stronger,” pictured):Īgain with the misplaced smiles! Not that you can’t grin your way through a paso doble - as Christine often did here - but it does diminish the intensity of the dance a bit, especially when Pasha was right next to Christine, doing his best smizing.
Here’s hoping a breakout routine - perhaps a slightly more vulnerable one - is around the corner. I’m not totally sure, though, how many weeks Iman can get by on he’s-good-for-being-so-tall! praise.
Iman Shumpert and pro Daniella Karagach (Tango to “Piece of Me”): The fluidity that Iman manages to bring to these routines, despite his own height and the disparity between him and Daniella, is really quite impressive - and even better, Daniella packed this routine with real tango content instead of giving Iman fun filler. That said, her dancing capabilities are never in question, and her footwork was as precise as ever. So, how did the historic performance go down? Read on for more thoughts on all of Monday’s Britney Night routines:Īmanda Kloots and pro Alan Bersten (Cha-Cha to “Circus”): For a routine that began with Amanda cracking her whip, this cha-cha strangely lacked the sexiness and fire that I would have expected from her and Alan Amanda does have a stunning smile, but it felt misplaced here.
