Judges Comments: Len: “I was intrigued to see how you would do with that dance and you coped very well. But, there are a few dances that I know I am going to get. With you, I don’t get excited, I want to get excited.” Bruno: “What a show, what a dance, star quality. Those legs are a weapon to be reckoned with. Move those hops further through the body, you have to work on details.” Carrie Ann: “You are stunning, what I loved is that it was clean and sharp. What is lacking is your posture, well done.”
