Next are Nancy and Val dancing to a rumba (Sung tonight by Lucas Graham)- 2006
Ok. I’m crying. That was beautiful. Everyone does so well this week.
CAI: Nancy has a love-based joy. She extended the movements and squeezed out every emotion. Len agrees. It had a charm and naturalness but needed more hip action. Applauded Val on a great job judging Jrs. Bruno: portrayed dance with warmth and tenderness. Turns are improved. Neckline improved. More hips. Conservative rumba.

Magically dancing to a Viennese waltz to “Hedwig’s Theme” are Evanna and Keo-2006 – I was waiting for this! I’m crying just because I love Harry Potter.
Bruno: Your magic is stronger than ever. She was so fast like trying to catch the golden snitch. Wonderful nuance. She was in command. CAI: performance has grown so much.well-rounded performance. Len: powerful, full of gusto. Elegance and quality a magic performance.

Up next with another Viennese waltz are Grocery Store Joe and Jenna- 2018 (sung by Calum Scott and Leona Lewis) – This was his best week, but not by much. Love Jenna‘s dress.
CAI said it’s so hard to judge him. He opened up. Didn’t miss the beat. He’s still growing. Len: he is a work in progress. More confident Joe. Didn’t think it was a lot of VW. Bruno: He was moving, but needs to work on the quality of his movement.
