They play a "rough neighborhood" for Brandon, but I am pretty sure he has an undergraduate degree in engineering. [Edit: not that that precludes him being from a rough neighborhood, but that's not where he's at at this point in his life.] I really liked him; classy guy. Not enough of a "room to grow" narrative; he knows who he is (he's 27.)
Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

Because books.
Also loved the Alvin Ailey routine. That was magnificent.

I think Amber had the best legs on the show. Really stunning legs.

I was thinking that, too, during her routine. They somehow didn't look like a dancer's legs, but just like gorgeous, sexy gams.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.
I thought Amber's solo was the best, but what do I know?

I thought Amber and Brandon's number was the only good one tonight, really. But I also agreed with flea on
Amber loses points for dancing to Lana Del Rey. Faugh.
Hah. Sad, though. Should've cut Limdsay.
Watching with Kat and Bon Bon and bob bob was awesome, again! Sadly another one may not happen for a while.
Overall not an inspiring night, sadly. But I am excited for Step Up this weekend?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And did Cat say they are taking two weeks off for the Olympics?? I call BS.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm pretty sure the next show is 8/15. Boo

What do the dancers do with a 2-week hiatus? Do they send them all home for a couple of weeks? Do they get a LOT of practice on the next group number? It's weird.
Biggest disappointments for me so far are Cyrus, who is not growing AT ALL - none of the other pure street dancers we've seen (Chbeeb, Legacy, Hok, Dominic...) have been this completely unable to do anything. There was fudging, but not like this. And Janelle, who HAS mainstream dance training but has just not done anything very good yet.
