So You Think You Can Dance always seems to have a great mix of hits and misses. Last night was definitely no different. From the (awful) Country Two-Step by Mark Kanemura and Kherington Payne to the heavy-footed Smooth Waltz by Twitch Boss and Comfort Fedoke, I definitely got my share of cringing in. However, I feel there were definitely more bright spots in the night. Some highlights:
1. What great routines by Joshua Allen & Courtney Galiano! And what an unlikely pair! I love these two doing Latin Ballroom of any kind, and the characters portrayed in their first dance a la Dr. Frankenstein were just fun.
2. Will Wingfield and Katee Shean were great together. As my sister said, they’re great together because they are both on the same level technically. The boat dance was just silly and fun, and the par-de-deux was beautiful. Will stole the show there!
3. Chelsie Hightower and Gev Manoukian (I find it interesting that he got paired with someone his own height again — conveniently?) were great, but Chelsie is just a heartbreaker and such a beautiful, believable, emotional dancer. I do expect to see her on Broadway sometime shortly after the tour.
4. Twitch Boss and Comfort Fedoke doing what they do best with Hip Hop and killing it. It was so refreshing to see them do what they’re strongest at and together for that matter, especially after watching Twitch be so off and on the last 2 times (he really does NOT wear ballroom well. Sorry Twitch!!) and Comfort be eliminated and brought back. (I have a feeling she’ll go home tonight, but at least she went out with a bang!)
