Re: [BigBrother_Survivor] Dancing with the Stars Juniors Premiere Recap – Live Blog and Videos

 

my thoughts

Elliana was on Dance Moms.  Her Mom seemed to be a problem.  Eliiana is a good dancer

 I was surprised Mackenzie was having a hard time. She was on Dance Moms for years and was very good

I was hoping Addison would get another chance I think she would have gotten better given the chance Not fond of Keo

I thought Alana would be going home

Scottie pippen and stevie wonders kids did good

i think the one to watch is Brandons team

MY absolute favorite is JT and Sky I thought they deserved better scores He was amazing on So You Think You Can Dance

My RANT!:2 are leaving first night. Votes come ONLY from
the audience and the judges. I really don't think that
is fair. BUT since it has all been taped I understand. Still
not fair .I think they scored some too high for a first
night .


So as for the show- Those pro kid dancers are
amazing. The contestants were pretty good themselves.

Dancing with the Stars Juniors Premiere Recap –
Live Blog and Videos 10/07/2018 by Franky Nunez
Hey
All :)Welcome
to the series premiere of Dancing
with the Stars Juniors. Tonight, twelve
celebrity children and children of celebrities are paired
with professional junior ballroom dancers to compete in
choreographed routines. They will be mentored by the pros of
Dancing
with the Stars in the hopes of winning the
first ever Juniors mirror ball trophy.The
judging panel for this show will be Dancing with the Stars
pro Valentin
Chmerkovsky, Emmy winning choreographer Mandy
Moore, and Dancing with the Stars Athletes champion
Adam
Rippon. Former DWTS contestants Jordan
Fisher and Frankie
Muniz will be our hosts.
In
this first week of competition, the contestants are tasked
to perform a cha-cha-cha,
foxtrot,
jive,
or salsa.
There will be NO
voting from the viewing audience as this entire
season has already been taped, with eliminations occurring
based on the judges and the audience in the studio.
.We
begin with a look at the junior pros before our hosts come
out to join them. The judges are out next, followed by the
mentors. Everyone is having a dancing moment. Here comes the
cast. That was a great opening.
Jason
& Eliana (Mentor- Emma) – Cha-Cha-Cha

Adorable! I will probably use that word an endless amount of
times this season. Jason is a good little dancer. The moves
need a bit of refinement, but I will say that any messiness
was probably due to a huge amount of excitement and nerves.
The pair go good together though. Looking forward to seeing
improvement.

Mandy
loved it and thought it was incredible. She saw rhythm and
confidence. Val agrees with Mandy. He saw charisma and
showmanship. He wants Jason to get better and focus on his
footwork. Adam says it was really good. He feels it was
amazing for week one.

Mandy- 6

Tripp
& Hailey (Mentor- Jenna) – Foxtrot
Aww.
Sweet kid but not really a dancer. The foxtrot technique was
really limited here. Hailey was great but she was let down
by a partner who really seems out of his element. If he came
alive during rehearsals, it didn't really translate all
that well here. He looked really nervous. But kudos for
trying and I did enjoy the story of the dance as it was cute
and charming.
Val
thinks he is a lot better than he thinks he is when he lets
himself go. Adam wants him to tell himself he is a dancer.
Mandy thinks Jenna did a great job with the choreography.
She loved the story that was told.

Mandy- 5

Addison & Lev (Mentor- Keo)
– Cha-Cha-Cha
Best
dance of the night so far, even if Addison could use some
loosening up. It is a cha-cha-cha and in parts, she was so
stiff. But the overall presentation here, especially the
first thirty seconds made up for it. This is a good
partnership.
Adam
can see Addison counting the steps out but he feels she did
a great job. Mandy loved the sass but feels she needs to
match her partner better. Val agrees with Mandy and saw
charisma. He wants to see better technique with her
footwork.

Miles
& Rylee (Mentor- Lindsay) – Salsa

Okay, so the competition JUST started. That was a pretty
fantastic salsa for week one. Miles has moves and
showmanship. Lindsay, always the outstanding choreographer,
put together a great first dance for them. That exceeded all
expectations and every couple that danced so far.
Mandy
thought it was incredible. She felt it was star power.. Val
calls Miles a superstar. He wishes there was a little more
salsa content though. Adam thinks he killed it and his moves
will keep him in the competition for a long time.

Adam- 7
Sophia
& Jake (Mentor- Sasha) – Jive
Very
cute. I have to admit, my eyes were drawn more to Jake here.
He is a fabulous little dancer. I thought Sophia did an
adequate job with the jive as I saw some decent kicks and
flicks. I wanted her energy level up just a bit though but
they did a nice job as a partnership.
Val
is very proud. He feels the dance had a lot of content and
gives credit to Jake. Adam feels she killed it and came
alive on the dance floor. Mandy thought the rhythm was great
and loved the storytelling.

Mandy- 7

Adam- 7
Hudson
& Kameron (Mentor- Hayley) – Cha-Cha-Cha

Haha. OMG. So cute. Okay, this was decent. A little practice
and Hudson will get better. He has the musicality but now it
needs to transfer into the technique so it all comes
together. I did appreciate how much cha-cha-cha content was
in there though.
Adam
was impressed by the amount of partner work. Mandy did not
expect that. She tells him to watch his timing. Val calls
Hudson a leading man.

Adam- 8
Ariana
& Artyon (Mentor- Brandon) – Cha-Cha-Cha
YES.
Ariana is good. Very good. I felt that might have been the
strongest overall cha-cha-cha of the night. These two make a
good pairing. Loved the content and how in-sync they were
with one another.
Mandy
calls her a little ray of sunshine. She gives kudos to
Brandon for the choreography. She feels the technique needs
a little work. Val feels she dances so big. He disagrees
with Mandy on the technique. He wants them to work together
more though and build the chemistry. Adam loved the
cuteness. He calls it awesome.

Mandy- 8
Val-

Adam- 8
Mackenzie
& Sage (Menror- Gleb) – Foxtrot

Well, that changed up midway through in an unexpected way.
Good dance. Mac was actually decent in hold and pulled off
quite a proper foxtrot. These two seem like they are going
to do really well as the season progresses as I see some
natural talent here. Solid for week one.
Val
thought the performance was incredible but didn't like the
modern part.. Adam thought they were gliding in the
beginning. He wants her to get into the floor more. Mandy
feels she needs to shift her muscles and weight change to
fit ballroom.

Val-

Adam- 8
Alana
& Tristan (Mentor- Artem) – Salsa
So
that wasn't the disaster I had assumed it would be. For
the most part, a salsa fits Alana's personality. If she
survives tonight, I am looking forward to seeing how she
handles other styles. She is a ball of energy and quite
funny. Good work from her partner here.
Adam
felt she was performing to everyone and stayed in character.
Mandy feels Alana lives her best life in every moment. She
isn't mad at that salsa. Val loves the confidence. He
wants improved technique and more partner work.

Mandy- 6

Adam- 7
Mandla
& Brightyn (Mentor- Cheryl) – Jive
Good
dance but you could have fooled me on calling it a jive.
Needed way more jive content. I appreciate the personality
and energy though. I think Mandla can do more so I am a bit
disappointed that Cheryl didn't put more in there. But we
will see what happens in coming weeks.
Mandy
thought it was so good- she is shocked Mandla hasn't
danced before. Val feels like he became a different person
out there. He feels they killed it and called it the
performance of the night. Adam calls it unbelievable. He
agrees that it was the performance of the night.

Mandy- 8
Val-

Adam- 8
Akash
& Kamri (Mentor- Witney) – Foxtrot

Okay, so Akash couldn't be more precious if he tried. Aww.
Gotta keep it real- it wasn't a good routine. He was
really a fish out of water out there but the darn
performance was so cute and all that I could overlook it
this once. He needs practice for sure.
Val
loved how much of a gentleman Akash was. He wants to see him
grow. Adam says he can't deal with him. He thinks everyone
has fallen in love with him. He says Akash performed from
his heart. Mandy thought the foxtrot was awesome.

Mandy- 7
Val-

Adam- 7
Sky
& JT (Mentor- Alan) – Salsa
OH
YES. That was the performance of the night. A load of
content, personality, and musicality. Just what is needed
for a salsa, and executed very well. This is a powerful team
as JT is a stunningly good dancer and has been for years and
Sky is looking like she will be really good this
season.
Adam
says he can tell Sky is a fierce competitor. He calls it
fantastic. Mandy loved the technique. She feels they nailed
it. Val thought the "Sky" is the limit. HAHA. He loved
the maturity in the dance.

The
audience is now voting in the studio. Those votes, plus the
judges scores will determine tonight's DOUBLE
ELIMINATION. Here we go..Team
Keo- Addison & Lev and Team Jenna- Tripp & Hailey
are ELIMINATED.
Aww.
Some of the kids are crying. I'm glad they aren't going
to drag out eliminations with "in jeopardy" or anything
like that. The kids are going to be bummed enough being
voted out, no need to extend it. All in all, I thought this
was a solid premiere that exceeded my expectations. The kids
are not only adorable but a few of them are quite good. We
have four or five couples who I could see going very
far.I am
a bit surprised at Addison's boot but she danced early and
perhaps the audience voting in the studio forgot about her
by the time voting happened. That's going to be a problem
with dancing early in this show. Tripp's elimination was
far less surprising.The
show cuts back to one hour only starting next Sunday, which
means tens routines plus an elimination in only an hour's
time. EEK. Talk about cutting it close. Thankfully, this is
all pre-taped so the editors can work their magic. Thank
y'all for watching with me and I'll see you next week.
:lD
