Next up were Shauna & Cedric - doing a Mia Michael’s Contemporary routine.  I think this is the first time that the dancers started in the audience, and danced onto the stage, and I’m sure it would’ve been more impressive if, 1) they didn’t wait so long to make a start, and 2) if the whole audience had been sitting we might have figured out why the camera’s were focus on the audience so long.  This number was all over the place, at one point I thought poor Shauna fell off the stage.  For a good portion of the Dance Cedric sat a cried.  How is that dancing.  To say the judges were not impressed would be an understatement.  Mary and Nigel were a bit frustrated with all the tricks Mia employed to hide the flaws.  Debbie loved her some Cedric though, she offered him a space at the Debbie Allen Dance Academy.
Lacey & Kameron - Quick Step.  Traditionally on the show, the Quick step has always tripped up the couples.  They’re never fast enough, not light enough.  L&K pulled it off though.  Their chemistry as a couple really is starting to show.
Anya & Danny - Hip Hop.  This was interesting.  Neither one of these kids have a ‘hip hop bone’ in their bodies.  She’s a ballroom dancer, and he’s a ballet dancer.  I thought they were ‘hawt’!  Danny is really growing on me, especially when his veneer cracks a bit and you can see his personality shine through.  Debbie Allen called them the dream team, and said that as a couple they blow the curve for everyone else.
Sabra & Domenick - Rumba.  Neither one of these kids could pronounce the name of the dance style the pulled before doing it.  They’ve both come a long way, in a short time, and every week, you can see them grow.  That alone will always keep them safe from the judges.  They’re always looking for just that.
Lauren & Neil - Tango.  I love Lauren, and she’s only grown on me.  She said “I had fun working on him, oops, I mean with him” when referring to her partner Neil.  You go girl!!!  Neil is very cute, and in Nigel’s words, “He dances like a Dude.”  I still thought it was a bit light on passion for a tango.  To me a tango should be like vertical sex on a dance floor, and this wasn’t that.
Jamie & Hok - Jazz - I’m sorry but Jazz is a style of music, not dance.  That’s like calling McDonald’s cuisine.  Anyway, they had Wade Robeson for a choreography, and the number was amazing.  I doubt that with lesser dancers this number would’ve been so memorable.  Hok was a humming bird to Jamie’s flower.  They’re movement’s where amazing.  Jamie has such amazing control of her body, she did dance moves like I’ve never seen before.  But I’ve got to say ‘gurl, what did you let them do to your hair that night?’.  I’ve seen satellites with fewer antenna on them.  Hok was sporting eye makeup from a bad drag queen.  Less is more on that eye shadow in the future my friend.
Last, but certainly not least, We’ve got Jessi & Pasha - Cha Cha.  Oops, I spoke too soon.  Jessi is actually the dancer that had to be taken to the hospital.  Apparently her heart started doing weird things.  The doctors ordered her to rest.  In the spirit of the show must go on, the judges allowed Pasha to dance with the assistant to the choreographer.  If Jessi was able to return, she’d automatically have to Dance for her Life.  Pasha knocked it out of the park!  He’s getting this year’s ‘Dmytry’ award for being the sexiest guy on the show.
