The Ballroom and The Latin Rounds

So I finally got to watch got to watch this past weeks dancing with the stars (thank you Monday night football) and the results show. There were two rounds this week. Ballroom and Latin dances. Latin dances were given a specific decade. Every couple did two full dances tonight. Each round opened with the judges commenting on a previous dance that the couples have done that belong in that particular round. I found it amusing that some of the comments were accurate but the judges didn't follow what they said need to happen and don't judge that way. It's really bothersome.

The Ballroom Round

Mya did the quick step. She's been stressing out so Dimitry took her horseback riding. I liked her the dress she wore. It was a shinny coral color. I think Dimitry did more movement than she did. She finally has Len on her side. Aaron did the fox trot. Karina is sick all week she had a fever and felt dizzy occasionally. she wore full sweats and a jacket at practice to break her fever and she did dance "Monday". Aaron showed how much he really wants to win. I liked her pant dress, I thought it looked really nice. There was some footing issues even I saw and a small lift that she couldn't help because he lifted her too high. the dance was really cute though. the judges commented on how hard he is trying and that he's put in a lot and because of that there was a lost of fluidity. Joanna also did the quick step. She watched tapes of Mya's quick step I'm not sure if it helped her at all. It was so hard to follow their feet they were moving so fast. I liked her dress but wish it was a different color. The judges were disappointed. Kelly did the foxtrot.In practice she is so easily distracted. She brings her dogs with her and lap top and cell phone. Louie locked them in a box! Not the dogs though. Have you ever seen her two little dogs? They are puff balls with feet. her dress was a greenish color and looked good with his suit. I liked her dance it looked great as far as i could tell. Donny did the Viennese waltz. He said in practice the he has no time and isn't having fun dancing anymore, so Donny took some time to "reboot". As always, he has posture issues but the dance looked good. It actually moved me enough to have a tear in my eye... I can't explain it but it could have been the music.

The Latin Round

Mya did a 70s style samba. I liked the outfits and they put in some disco moves. She has offically gotten the first 30 of this season! Aaron did a 90s style samba. I liked the black and yellow outfits, of course that could be because I'm a Steelers girl. The dance looked good and he looked like he had a lot of fun with it. This is the first latin dance that didn't really have latin music that i really liked. They danced to an alternative genre song. the judges liked it. Joanna did a futuristic Paso. In practice her feet were moving but her mind and body weren't. The outfits were crazy and they did hair and make-up to match. They did a lot of side by side dancing. This may have been my favorite dance for the night. Kelly did a 60s theme jive. Apparently this is her favorite decade. She instantly thought Beatles and Louie looked like one. She had on a bright green wig (it looks like the pink one I bought for Halloween) and I want her shoes. Shes done a music video that themed the 60s so she was really happy to be able to contribute for once. Donny did the 80s style paso. They did an 80s rock theme, so, to me I thought he looked like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" and she looked like Madonna. The dance looked so much fun. Carrie Ann said that she thought they crossed over into something frightening. I really liked it though.
