Posting my rankings first, then I'll look at everyone elses (don't want any peer pressure or anything ).
1. Jakob & Ellenore - Contemporary: what do you get when you have amazing choreography for two superb dancers??? You get this routine. Hands down the best of the season. They are my two favorite dancers, so I was hoping for big things. No disappointments.
2. Jakob & Ellenore - Quickstep: again, my two favorite dancers who performed an amazing quickstep.
3. Legacy & Ashleigh - Contemporary: I think I'll put this one here because of the constant fast-paced movement of the piece which I like - it looked super difficult.
4. Russell & Mollee - Jive: I enjoyed this one a lot. Maybe I was still on the high from Jakob and Ellenore, but they were really into it and performed it well.
5. Nathan & Kathryn - Broadway: this was fabulous, like they stepped out of the 1950's movie. They captured the era well. I love Spencer's choreography!
6. Ryan & Noelle - Waltz: Ryan was really fabulous and Noelle was very graceful. It was a bit cheesy, but thought they danced elegantly.
7. Ryan & Noelle - Hip Hop: loved the song choice and concept with this.
8. Russell & Mollee - Lyrical Jazz: I didn't feel this as much as the judges, something was off or missing, the arm hook move was cool
9. Nathan & Kathryn - Rumba: I thought this was a horrible Rumba and glad the choreographers were called on it.
10. Legacy & Ashleigh - Hip-Hop: DITTO! What was that, Dave? Highly disappointed. Sad to see these two in the bottom because of the choreography!!
Figuring out the top and bottom was easy - everything in between was kind of hard.
