Academy Week 3: Jazz & All-Star Duets

Tonight is the finale rounds of the Academy before the live shows begin. First up is Jazz with Sonya, and she always brings something challenging and unique to the table. You can see that all of the street dancers are struggling to pick up the choreography but Kevin seemed to get really frustrated with himself. Sonya gave him a bit of tough love, and said if you give up you might as well say goodbye to being on the show. Thankfully, in the end he pulled through and I thought did well. Lex also had a bit of close call because he wasn’t connecting as well as everyone thought. Team Robert suffered an injury while learning the jazz choreography. Taylor and Jennifer were dancing a little to close to each other, and when they did the roll on the floor Taylor hit Jennifer in the head with her foot. Medics were called in to look at the gash on Jennifer’s eyebrow, which didn’t look good. After she was bandaged up she joined her team back on stage and told Robert that she wouldn’t be able to continue with competition. The laceration on her eyebrow needed stitches and the medics said that injury could get worse if she did continue with the show. I think Jennifer made the right decision in the end and she’ll have a great story to tell about her scar.

Now each of the are down to their final two dancers and there is only one more round they have to get though before the all-stars pick who they want as their partner. Each all-star choreographed a routine to perform with each of their team members to see who they have the best connection with. After they dance with each team member, they meet back up with the remaining all-stars to get feed back. Gaby and Jenna teams stood out to me the most. Gaby choose to stick with a tap routine even though it only played to the strength of Evan. Thankfully Lex can tap and was able to keep up with Gaby. Jenna on the other had to create two different routines, ballroom for Kiki and one that would fit more to Kevin’s style. Kevin seemed to get the best reactions from the rest of the all-stars. Jenna has a tough decision to make…they all do.

My Top 10 Predictions.

Gaby: It’s a tough call but I think Lex will just barely edge out Evan.
Paul: Sydney, she seemed to have the better connection with Paul.
Allison: Logan…I happened to stumble across an article from Playbill (July 12, 2017) that Zachary has joined cast of Cats on Broadway, starting on July 17, why I’m thinking she chose Logan.
Cyrus: Kaylee…should be interesting
Jasmine: Robert Green
Marko: Koine…another close call
Comfort: Mark
FikShun: Dassy
Jenna: I honestly don’t know what she will do.
Robert: Taylor
