Hi there Everyone! Hope this blog post finds you all very well. We had a wonderful week in our Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens @ Promenade plaza on A1A in the Gardens. We had some new people join us this week and we are very excited about that. Let’s hope this week is going to be just as exciting as the last!
So, we had another performance by celebrities In Dancing with the stars show on ABC channel. And what a show that was! We had some great performances and some not so great. This is what we @ Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens thought about it.
The first performance has been done by Wendy and Tony. Unfortunately for us this was real disappointment. Wendy has not improved one little bit in a week and unfortunately for Tony we think this will mean a departure from the show at such an early stage. We could be wrong. At the end of the day the public decides , but in our opinion they were the worst of the night. The foxtrot did not flow as much as it should do at this point in the competition. There was no body contact throughout the dance, which it should have and the upper body position was a true disappointment. So let’s see what happens……
Then we had a very nice cha-cha performance By Chelsie and Mark. Very good choice of costumes and music. Chelsie’s execution of Cha-cha basic steps like “New Yorks” and “Fan” and so on was excellent and the musicality was great. Well done guys and we at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens very much looking forward to seeing your development in the weeks to come. Go for it guys!
Now we have come to Chris and Cheryl. What a beautiful Rumba they have danced. Cheryl’s wardrobe has improved dramatically this evening. She looked great. Chris has danced this dance with such great feeling , it was very emotional. However there are couple of things he can improve for the future. Foot action needs to be looked at as it is so important to have a very good foundation and also his arm actions were a little neglected . The upper body lines were incomplete due to the arm not in contact with partner not being placed anywhere. But with saying all that we at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens felt that the leading of partner by Chris was outstanding and we all know how hard it is to do for the guys. So, well done guys.
Following Chris and Cheryl there were Kendra and Louise. What a surprise performance that was by them. We must take our hat off to Louis van Amstel. He is such a good teacher! Kendra’s leg action has improve enormously. The swivel action was great due to an impressive connection between the two of them. The overall look we felt was amazing. If they continue developing like that we are in for very nice treat later in the season. We cannot wait to see it.
Next on the floor were Romeo and Chelsea. Emotional we felt that the dance was executed very good. You can see how much this meant to Romeo. However there is room for improvement in Romeo’s him action and foot placement. Also we think, that the arm action needs a little more fluidity . But overall this was a very nice performance.
Now we have come to our favorites of the night Hines Ward and Kim Johnson. Wow, wow and once again wow! What a Samba they have danced. They had us fooled prior to this dance. Due to the footage of the practice we thought that this is not going to go well and how wrong our first impression was? It was an amazing dance. Everything was so good about it that it just blew us away! The hip action , the bounce, the foot placement, the emotion (we could go on forever) was there. Just perfect! We think we at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens have got our favorite. The faces of the fellow competitors and pro’s have said it all. The best of the night!
So how do you come out on the floor and perform after such wonderful dancing by Hines Ward? Well Sugar Ray had to do it. And it was tough. Sugar Ray has put a lot of effort in his Paso Doble and unfortunately in our opinion it did not pay off. It was a little clumsy and it did not have a very good connection between Sugar Ray and Anna. Also we would like to point out that if you are going to do something, we think it should be done well. Unfortunately we feel that the cape action was very bad at the beginning of the dance and it should not have been done at all. We feel it had set a very bad start to the dance. So let’s hope that this performance is not going to cost them dearly!
Following Sugar Ray and Anna were Dmitry and Petra Nemkova. The dancing was much improved , however we feel that the judges are very unfair to the competitors. Last week they have hammered Mark Ballas’s and Chelsea’s Jive due to not enough jive content in the dance, which was duly noted by the way. SO this week we have Dmitry and Petra doing a very nice Waltz dance without a lot of the waltz steps in it. Do the Judges mention it? NO. We at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens feel that this very unfair and we hope that it would not happen again for the competitors sake, however we feel it’s very unlikely, due to the nature of the show.
Now we have come to the Maks and Kirstie Alley. The have danced a Rumba. For those of you who actually saw the program, what a quick recovery after such a misfortune. Poor Maks! We hope he is ok? I guess we will find out tonight on the result show on ABC channel. They have started the rumba with a back drag line with progression where Maks has had a lot of his own and Kirstie’s weight on him and unfortunately all of that weight has shifted more to one side of his body( left side to be precise) and his hip has given way. It looked so painful!!!! But the recovery was amazing. Both of them have regained the confidence and composed themselves quickly, only to perform one of the better rumbas of the night. Kirstie as usual has shown an amazing execution of basic actions and musicality. The emotional side of the rumba was so beautiful, it was very nice to see Kirstie to show a very sexy side of her, however hard it was for her.
And last but not least is Ralf (the karate kid) and Karina. They have chosen a Rumba for their dance this week. It was a very nice touch by Ralf to choose it as it his wedding anniversary this week. He has said that it is their 24th one and that his wife has given him the best twenty four years of his life. How sweet is this? Unfortunately for Ralf the dance they danced with Karina was nothing but sweet. Rumba should be very sensual and passionate and we did not see any of that. So it kind of left us with a slightly disappointed feeling. Where we have been so wowed by Ralf and Karina last week we have expected something just as good as that and we did not get it. So we guess it was a disappointment for us. Let’s hope that the viewers will vote for them and they’ll do much better next week. Good luck guys.
Soooo, this is what we thought of the last nights performances. It was a very nice show to watch. We at Arthur Murray Palm Beach Gardens cannot wait to see the result show tonight. What will happen? Let us know what you guys think . Meet you back here after the result show.
