Partner: Anya Garnis
Style: Cha-Cha
Choreographer: Jean-Marc Généreux" & France Mousseau
Song: "My First Kiss" by 3OH!3 feat. Kesha.
My Thoughts
It was pretty good. I didn't feel it had anything exciting in it and I agree with Mia that there was a lot of stop-and-go movements so it wasn't very fluid.
Partner: Kathryn McCormick
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Stacey Tookey
My Thoughts
Yay for Adam giving Kathryn praise! I love that a routine is never just dancing for Stacey Tookey. Nice touch on the story twist. Kathryn was technically flawless and the softness of her movements are just so gorgeous to watch. This is actually the best that I think I've seen Robert dance. I thought he did a great job.
Song: "Giant Squid"

Partner: Courtney Galiano
Style: Jazz

Song: "Mantega"
My Thoughts
I wasn't really impressed by this. I thought the dancing lacked energy or excitement or something.

My Thoughts
I thought it was a really strong solo by Lauren this week. A really nice display of strength and control.
Jose Ruiz

Style: Hip-Hop
Choreographers: Marty something and someone else.
My Thoughts
I thought the choreography was cute and the dancing was great by Comfort.

My Thoughts
Something different from Billy this week. There was more of a performance in it than typical solos. I thought it was kind of cool.
Kent Boyd's Solo
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-04
Song: "A Song For You" by Elliot Yamin
Lauren Froderman
Partner: Allison Holker
Style: Broadway
Choreographer: Tyce DiOrio
My Thoughts
I thought Lauren did a good job. Allison wasn't as sharp as she normally is. It was a tough routine that required a lot of energy as well as putting in a performance. They did a good job.
Robert Roldan's Solo
Song: "A Beautiful Mess" by Jason Mraz
Phone #: 1-888-6-BEST-05
Billy Bell
Partner: Ade
Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Stacey Tookey
Song: "Mad World"
My Thoughts
Awesome routine by Stacey Tookey, even better than the first one. Billy has really grown and has become more of a complete dancer since he got the tough critique in his routine with Kathryn.
Kent & Jose
Style: Broadway
Choreographer: Spencer Liff
My Thoughts
I agree with the judges that Kent is a natural in Broadway. Jose, not so much. He did an OK job for being untrained.
Lauren & AdeChike
Style: Foxtrot
Choreographers: Jean-Marc Généreux" & France Mousseau
Song: "Fever"
My Thoughts
I agree with Nigel that it looked like it was part Jazz. I'm happy that Toni Redpath is there because we finally get real Ballroom critique.
Billy & Robert
Style: Bollywood
My Thoughts
I thought that was really good. I agree with Mia, I also like pizza.
I thought Billy was sharper than Robert but Robert did a good job as well.
Ugh... Lauren's being looked at by the medic
Someone's just going to win by default from not getting injured.
