Hot number from opening number from Wade! Very "Cotton Club"-y.

Wow that Hip Hop with Legacy, Russell and Kevin was great.

[TopCatDC]

Three hip-hop guys (Russell, Legacy, Kevin) do Beggin' choreographed by Tabitha and Napolean. Good, but didn't knock my socks off. Sorry! Guess I can't hear that song anymore without picturing Anoop, Michael, Scott, and Matt on the American Idol tour this past summer.

Tyce DiOrio did a lovely contemporary piece with Channing, Ariana, Nathan and Jakob.

Jakob, Channing, Ariana, and Nathan get a contemporary number with Tyce to Crying by k.d. lang. Beautiful dancing. I can't take my eyes off Jakob's extensions and leaps. Also, I think the girls got kind of lost (in terms of focus) in that routine. The guys each seemed to have a moment to be in the spotlight - but if the girls had a similar chance then the director blew it by putting the camera somewhere else.

Peter, Phillip and Bianca dance a tap number "Take the A Train" by Ella Fitzgerald. I love that old Hollywood style of dance and to me Bianca is the standout.

[TopCatDC]

Bianca, Peter, and Phillip do their tap routine. Tap groups are hard to pull off. You have to find a balance between the drill-team precision of the Rockettes and the lazy jazzy feel of Savion Glover. These folks are all very good, but the number itself was so-so for me.

[TopCatDC]

Elenore, Mollee , and Pauline get a Sonja contemp. Wow - those costumes make the girls look heavy.

I am l-o-v-i-n-g Russel, the hip hop routine was crazy for me!
I wasn't really that impressed with the tap number but I do like Biana alot. Hoping she does well.
