That was pretty cool. I love Sabra. I can stand Neil.

Amazing choreography! Wow. One of my favorite dances of the season. I have to say, though, I did notice some flaws in Sabra's technique there, a little wobbly on some of the turns. The feckless hunchback turned it out. My goodness.

ETA: Gah! Frikkin' Lauren. Why would she pick this week to actually show some of the talent that the judges have been insisting that she's had all along? I still want her to go home and take her smug, annoying personality with her. But that was a good solo. And not even good for her, just good. That last double (triple?) pirouette was gorgeous and she showed amazing control. Rassenfrassinrabblerebble.

I have to rate it thus far:

Neil/Sabra
Danny/Lauren
Pasha/Lacey

Neil/Sabra had better choreography but Danny/Lauren had stronger technique.

He's used to a partner, so he needs something to relate to.

Oh, Sabra and Neil were terrific. The dancing was incredible, great moves, really good choreography.

Beautiful. Pasha is an amazing partner. Lacey had a little bit of the over-exaggerated wanna-be ballet hand working (I hate when I agree with Nigel!) but other than that it was gorgeous.

I like Mary's breakdown of the waltz. How hard the steps are, but how smooth it looked and how well the emotion came across. I loves me really good ballroom.

That was lovely. Lacey has been really reigned in on her mugging by both choreographers. Bravo!
