TOP FOUR DANCERS:    
     
     
Joshua Allen    
Stephen "Twitch" boss    
Katee Shean    
Courtney Galiano    

 

  TOP 20 - All Comments by Danielle!
1 Courtney Galiano  Courtney is a New York City Knicks Dancer  Of the girls, I like Courtney the best in dance.  Her work as a Knicks Dancer shows through in her public relations approach.  In addition to being a very good dancer, she works the camera as an excellent spokesperson as well - her PR will get her votes - no doubt.  Nice ballroom cha cha.  Courtney can dance.  Map routine  .... loved it!  Salsa number was hot.  Did not think the hip hop was as good as it could have been.
2 Chelsie Hightower - She has a lot of energy.  I'll have to see more of her.  Really liked her in the Salsa number.  Wow.  I think Chelsie was hot in "I'm a Woman".  Wow!  Agree with Mia.... lack of movement.    The salsa was amazing.  Great hip movement.  I like her dancing.
3 Chelsea Traille   Third to be eliminated from the girls
4 Stephen "Twitch" boss - He has a lot more training than we're seeing, I think.  Have not been disappointed with him thus far.  Krump The knee spin was off the hook.  Tango - not as sharp as it could have been.  The intensity wasn't there.  Not into the ballroom so much. 
5 Kourtni Lind - Kourtni has a certain presence on stage.  She could be sharper imo.  Third girl to be eliminated
6 Susie Garcia    Second to be eliminated from the girls.  Nice job.
7 Joshua Allen - Joshua's talents have not really come out yet.  They are there ... so I'm waiting.  He is powerful. Viennese Waltz - Little clunky on the footwork.  Nice try though.  Bollywood - Loved most of it.  Some movements were not finished off.  Joshua's strength was impressive.  I'm torn.  I want more sharpness, more grace, but love the strength.  Joshua, WOW!!! What amazing positions tonight!  The Pasa Doble was amazing.
8 Kherington Payne - o.k.  She could be more versatile.  Krump - nice try, but didn't really cut it.  Needed to be bigger and sharper attitude and more down into the ground.  Tango - love her intensity and focus.  I would have liked it to be sharper.
9 Rayven Armijo      First to be eliminated from the girls
10 Matt Dorame - I'm really impressed with this dancer.  Although, I do agree with Nigel about the ability to get into character.  But what a dancer!  Beautiful!  I will be interested to see him in a hip hop routine.  Third boy to be eliminated.  We'll miss him.  Great dancer!
11 Marquis Cunningham    Second to be eliminated from the guys
12 Thayne Jasperson - Eliminated Boy Good, but imo he leans more toward a musical theater dancer because of his personality.  Definitely has some skilz tho.  I was really impressed with his West Side Story and was VERY impressed with his solo.   Great dancer!  Loved the hip hop number.  Nice job Thayne.  I was wrong about the musical theater dancer comment above.  The hip hop was great.  I did not like Thayne in Lyrical.  Thayne has grown on me, but I didn't like the lyrical.  GOOD LUCK THAYNE enjoyed your performances.  Will look for you in the future!
13 Mark Kanemura  - What a great personality.  This guy can get into character.  Liked the salsa.  Love how he gets into character.  "I'm a woman" was excellent acting.  Want more dance though.  Mark is one of my favorites, but not a favorite in dance.  Really nice with the hip hop routine.  Really loved it!
14 Comfort Fidoke -  Eliminated Girl - Well someone in production really likes to put comfort up front during group numbers.  She is really good at hip hop.  She always appears fearless.  I will reserve judgment until I see her dance more, but my suspicion is that she will lack only because she has not trained in traditional dance styles to the level the other dancers have.  For that reason, I don't think she has a chance for a spot in the end.  Maybe top 10 tho.  But then again .... someone in production seems to like to put her up front (in two opening numbers so far).  Shouldn't matter, but - hey - I've been in the dance world for a couple decades.  Really nice job on the hip hop.  on the Contemporary Dance - Feet need to be developed.  Just needs more dance training in general with the exception of hip hop.  I like her though.  But I predict that she is next to go.  GOOD LUCK COMFORT - LOVED YOUR HIP HOP keep taking dance, you will be awesome with more training. - Comfort is back.  WOW - what a hip hop girl!  Love her!!!!!  Good luck Comfort!
15 Jaime Beyo    First to be eliminated from the guys
16 Chris Jarosz     Third to be eliminated from the guys
17 Gev Manoukian - I'm impressed with his apparent versatility.  I also really like his confidence when he dances.  I love the way your picking up ballroom!  Keep learning.  You have great potential! - Map routine.... just loved it!  I Gev was great.  Really coming along as a dancer.  Loved it.
18 Jessica King - She holds back. - The contemporary piece - nice lines.  Working great with William.  I really liked the dancing.  Very strong, lots of control.   Quickstep - loved the performance.  I'm not a good judge of the quickstep.
19 William Wingfield - does not stick out in my mind.  Need to see more of him.  I like William.  Nice contemporary.  Nothing to complain about.  Nice lines, nice feeling. On the Quickstep - Loved it!  Will just moved up the list as my top two favorites.  Nice. performance.  I'm not a good judge of the quickstep.  Really really nice dancing.  NOW HE REALLY STICKS OUT IN MY MIND.  WHAT A DANCER!!!!!  Amazing dance Will.  Sorry to see you go.  We'll look for you in the future.  Good luck to you!
20 Katee Shean - have to see more to judge.   Viennese Waltz - Lot of control as a dancer.  I want more grace, more softness.  Very nice though.  Bollywood was good.  It was fun.  Great execution.  Best technical dancer out of the girls.  WOW!!!  Exceptional!  Top girl!
