I liked the movements, and the music, too. I wouldn't have called it hip hop, but it was a neat dance.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

I don't know hiphop from nada, but I actually liked that by the time it was done. Anya really amazed me, she seemed to pick it up so quick. I do think it was amazing choreography, too.

Anya is underestimating herself. She really does pick up the new tricks well. But, I thought Danny stole the routine. maybe it's the height thing.

I have to agree with Nigel. Danny did a good job, but he's got to let go of that hesitation/fluidity problem that the classically trained dancers seem to run into. Sharp, abrupt continuous movement seems to stymie them.
And I didn't really see as much of him in this routine, I spent as much time or more watching Anya.

I hope that they do well with the rumba because I love the rumba. It's fun and sexy.

Well, that was really pretty but not a ton of what I'd call rumba.

Very nice rumba! I think Sabra had the hip action really working for her. Dominic, not so much, but he did a good job partnering.
eta: I bow to the expert in how rumba-like it was. I just liked the choreography.

It didn't look like any Rumba I've ever seen before. But it was cool.

I'm starting to wonder if Mary Murphy and Paula Abdul are related. They seem to suffer from the same sort of crazy.

The dance was hot! And the movements were great but there could have been, I don't know, maybe a Cuban walk in there. But it was really cool.
Mary reminds me of Rachael Ray.
