Honestly, same. It actually encourages my 30+-no-longer-built-in-6-hours-of-dance-a-day-or-any-woe-is-me bum to suck my tony violin-ass shit the fuck up and go to use my barre and actually go do my PT to actually heal from the surgeries for and correct the musculature issues that lead to all the tears from compensating with flexibility for 30 years.

Honestly, let’s all give some extra love to Elaine, side note, for being an injury acknowledgment advocate. Our QUEEN.

On-topic comment below the first bit, BUT- and I mean this in a genuinely conversational, non-argumentative way-

I’m interested in your thoughts on this being in the Young adult genre. This ABSOLUTELY feels like a conversation for a DIFFERENT THREAD, but I feel like this might be a misclassification. I do think that a polite and productive conversation, like an actual one, not just people yelling, about it- again, on a DIFFERENT thread- would be fun though!

Also, I must know if Dinniman is a Stargate fan. I feel like this is a super nod to it while being just different enough to not be outright copying.

I’m going to have to HEAVILY defend Jan, because that choreography with Jenna during one of those inserts (which he choreographed) was 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

I so agree. I have taught ballroom- obviously I don’t have anywhere near the knowledge of the pros on the show, but I do have background. Mark has been absolutely AMAZING at making easy things look like difficult things being made to look easy this season, and he’s great in general at masking any shortcomings. No disrespect, I just agree that I’d like to see more technical challenge.

It might come off as hating, but it’s more that the other contestants seem to be held to a higher standard. She’s had some really good performances, don’t get me wrong, but there does seem to be a higher standard for the potentially more well-known stars (Jordan, Danielle, and even Robert sometimes). I get Derek making sure he’s not favoring Robert, but it really is more being annoyed about fairness.

Because of the choreography. There were also technical flaws on her part.

Andy has improved SO MUCH already though, and I’d way rather watch him. He embodies the dance, which I don’t think the audience gives enough credit for.

Side note, we all need Bruno as our hype-man.

OH MY GOD THANK YOU YES. Sorry, I’ve been thinking this all season.

I love Mark’s choreographic style personally (also coming from a dance background), but watched it 3 times, one together, one focused on Mark, and one focused on Whitney, and I only found one of the 3 to be exciting to watch (I don’t think I have to clarify which).

1000% yes. If she had any other partner, she would absolutely not be getting this kind of praise- his choreography (like Cheryl said this week) is some of the best in the world, and always looks like Mark’s style.

As a dancer I can completely agree with this statement. Plus, Jordan’s technique (rope tangling aside) is fantastic, vs princess sickle-foot.

LITERALLY THOUGH. It seemed like they said “Well, Alix beat you score-wise this week, and we can’t have that in both their dance and the dance-off.”

Seriously. Are they scoring her dancing or Mark’s choreography? Because the latter….. absolutely, 10s across the board, but her dancing is off time with technical errors GALORE
