Noelle and Ryan

Dance #1
Dance: Hip-Hop
Choreographer: Tapitha and Napoleon

Comments:
Nigel: Noelle was sexy this week. Dance technique very good. Ryan wasn't feeling the funk. Really good, fun routine.
Mary: Very good chemistry. Great routine, great material. Noelle brought it on, totally into character. Ryan, too. Great start, great partnership. Looking forward to Dance #2.
Adam: Noelle hot. Great moment for Ryan. New partnership, great dance.

Dance #2
Dance: Smooth Waltz
Choreographer: JT and Thomas

Comments:
Nigel: Rise and fall captivating. Just a little more relaxation on Noelle's face. Mastered it.
Mary: Elegant, footwork, quality of movement - Noelle. Ryan dominated that whole dance in the right way.
Adam: Breathing with them because it was that good. Captivated. Perfect.

Ashleigh and Legacy

Dance #1
Dance: Contemporary
Choreographer: Gary Stuart

Comments:
Nigel: Relentless and fantastic. The most difficult thing in their entire careers.
Mary: Wow. Routine was terrific. Ending was amazing. Many moments to latch onto. Fight to the finish, but we all won in the end.
Adam: No fear or stress, just went out and killed. Best ending moment.

Dance #2
Dance: Hip-Hop
Choreographer: Dave Scott

Comments:
Nigel: Didn't feel it. Not enough dancing - wanted to see more Legacy. Less cloak, more dancing. Musicality wasn't there. Didn't sit in the groove.
Mary: Didn't work for her either.
Adam: Wasn't challenging enough at this point in the competition. Needed to be harder.

Kathryn and Nathan

Dance #1
Dance: Broadway
Choreographer: Spencer Liff

Comments:
Nigel: Both found that style perfectly. Tremendous. Chemistry not there, but terrific.
Mary: Kathryn was marvelous. Makes it look easy. Nathan did a great job as well.
Adam: Did a great job at giving the history of dance. Was worried about Nathan, but did really good - relief.

Dance #2
Dance: Rhumba
Choreographer: Tony and Meredith

Comments:
Nigel: Failed to get the chemistry because Nathan had a 'sour face'. Dancing and lines good. Likes slinkiness, not really there.
Mary: No passion, not believable chemistry. Awkward moments. Kathryn had some really fabulous moments. Tough dance, good job.
Adam: Kathryn dances like she's competing every time. Nathan did great with Kathryn's support.

Ellenore and Jakob

Dance #1
Dance: Quickstep
Choreographer: Tony and Meredith

Comments:
Nigel: Fun routine. Love the time step and jump turns. Very good together, felt very comfortable.
Mary: 1st place tonight! Fabulous job in choreography. Longest enclosed position on this show, and it was wonderful.
Adam: Fantastic. So excited. Loved it. Ellenore looks unbelievable in the dress.

Dance #2
Dance: Contemporary
Choreographer: Sonya Tayek

Comments:
Nigel: WOW!!!! WOW!!!! These dancers are the brilliance that others are compared against. Incredible chemistry between them and with their choreographer. Absolutely brilliant. This REALLY is his favorite routine of this season. As perfect as it gets. Fabulous. Different class.
Mary: Dream team. High expectations, and they delivered and THEN SOME. Nothing they can't do. Connection great. (Insert scream)
Adam: Left an impression on audience that will last forever. Oh my God moment. Standing ovation from judges.

Mollee and Russell

Dance #1
Dance: Lyrical Jazz
Choreographer: Mandy Moore

Comments:
Nigel: Absolutely beautiful choreography. Mollee's maturity has just come out... not a baby. Russell - he's as proud as Russell's dad. The confidence between them is amazing. Love the partnership.
Mary: Loves this partnership! Chemistry, chemistry, chemistry. Great partnership. Everything believable. Quality and passion so believable. Russell comes through every time, continues to grow as well as Mollee. They are her favorite couple tonight.
Adam: So pleased... Danced so well he needs medical attention. No way to rationalize Russell's krumping (the hardest hitter he's ever seen) then his partner capabilities and a beautiful contemporary dancer. Mollee was beautiful out there as well.

Dance #2
Dance: Jive
Choreographer: Anya and Pasha

Comments:
Nigel: The only routine that could have followed Jakob and Ellenore. Great together, work well together.
Mary: Hot tamales for choreographers, hot tamales for dancers. So much fun, brought it to life. Great partnership.
Adam: Totally feeling it. Loves the pairing. Bringing out best in each other.
