I don't think so. He likes the classics!
I'll just jump in my time machine, go back to the twelfth century, and ask the vampires to postpone their ancient prophesy for a few days while you take in dinner and a show.

Because books.
That was a gorgeous number, the Sasha/Melanie.
Does it look like Melanie has had ballet training? Or is that part of contemporary training? It's something about the way she extends her legs and points her feet that takes me to ballet.

I'm sure they both have ballet training - maybe not primarily, but I can't imagine any dancer of their caliber DOESN'T have ballet training. Hell, even I have ballet training and I'm certainly not making it onto this show any time soon.
I also loved that routine. It was gorgeous. One of those two had better win.

Yeah, in Melanie's solo she basically went en pointe barefoot at one point.
I am dubious about the prospect of stepping. We had it before and it wasn't good, IIRC (although again IIRC it involved the Wapekoneta Kid, who is not such a stepping type.)

I don't understand why they feel the need to use non-normal (for the show, I mean) styles on finale night. I feel like all the choreographers should have an arsenal of "finale routines" or something.

Melanie and Sasha dance better with each other than any other partners.

Yikes. This is NOT the way to end the season.

For such talented dancers this should have been a better finale.

I don't think it's the dancers' fault, really, I think we have not had a lot of particularly strong choreography tonight.

I actually think the finale show is usually not as strong as top 6. Definitely that was the case in S6. Remember that horrible cheerleading piece?
