Welcome to Pure So You Think You Can Dance

Here’s the full recap from last night’s show.

SHOW 321/322
8/07/07

Don’t have time to gush over Cat tonight ladies and gents. We gotta get this party started!

Lacey and Pasha drop some hip-hop with some pop on us! Lacey is playing the roll of a mannequin, but a mannequin with a heart. The two explode to life and move through the routine. Judges critiques! Nigel says the kids did a great job playing their characters. Mary loves the pair and throws out the word, “flawless.” Debbie Allen loved the energy and the duo nailed it.
In The Morning
Junior Boys

Sabra is the first lamb to the solo slaughter, and she’s going down fighting. She tears about the stage with amazing grace and power in every move.
Rock Your Soul
Elisa

Lauren and Danny shoot from the Mia Michaels contemporary dance canon and onto the floor. Their moves are huge and there’s power in every step. The two take the dance up and around the stage! Minor audience participation! Now hustle back for the judges! Nigel can’t get enough and tells Laura she’s finally reached her potential! Mary unleashes the Murphy scream! Debbie drops some illiteration, “Power and perfection personified!”
Then You Look At Me
Celine Dion

Pasha! You’re up! Pasha dances with a true mannequin and hits every move like Pasha does. Amazing!
Total Eclipse Of The Heart
Bonnie Tyler

Neil and Sabra fire everyone up with a jazz number. And there’s stunt furniture involved! Everything thing about these two is perfect. Nigel hopes that the finale of the show (August 16, 8/7c only on FOX!) will live up to the power of this performance! Debbie raves about their performance!
Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)
Eurythhmics

Lauren, sweetie, let’s do this. Lauren moves through her solo routine like a dove wearing a jetpack. And by that I mean, power, grace, beauty. This is only the halfway point of the show and all these dancers are going to be neck and neck!
Sorry
Maria Mena

Lacey and Pasha slide from the shadows for their smooth waltz. The two spiral about the stage and Lacey is more elegant that she ever has been. The spotlight follows them around stage and the couple ends the dance with grace. Nigel says the waltz was beautiful and the judges agree.
A Daisy In December
Mick McAuley & Winifred Horan

Neil spins in for his solo. Neil does what he does best and pirouettes for the audience. The ladies love it. Neil tosses a couple flips just to bring the last three unsure female voters to the phones.
Out Of My Hands
Dave Matthews Band

Disco! Lauren and Danny bust out of the official So You Think You Can Dance time machine! The two lace the stage with moves from my parent’s closet, and the two pull off some amazing team moves. Nigel is amazed that the two were able to complete a difficult routine. Mary is happy to see them execute the style perfectly. Debbie rounds it all off with a job well done.
Don’t Leave Me This Way
Communards

Lacey shakes out on the stage and…wow…she is earning the votes from boys tonight! There’s tassels and fringe and a lot of Lacey. Is it hot in here? Yeowzah.
Le Disko
Shiny Toy Guns

Neil and Sabra stomp to the stage for a Paso Doble! This dance will certainly “Doble” your heart rate! This dance is “Doble” the intensity! The wardrobe fit Neil with some flattering leather pants, but that doesn’t matter. These two are amazing. They move as one, not as a “Doble!” Neil just wore Sabra as a belt! The judges squeal and Mary throws them on board the Hot Tamale Train!
Espana Cani
Juan & Gennaro

Danny skates in for the final solo. Danny’s moves and smile bring cheers from the crowd and he moves like a cheetah on the prowl. Will Danny make it to the final four…mmmmm? I don’t know either!
The Fear You Won’t Fall
Joshua Radin

Go vote! Cat! Call me, I’ll make it up to you over dinner!
