This week, we noticed the highest 6 dancers tackle an all-new problem: motion pictures. And to make it onto the silver display screen, they had been joined by two of our all-time fave choreographers. So in case you didn’t catch final evening’s episode, right here’s every thing you missed. And…motion!
For his or her movie-night problem, the dancers labored with two legendary movie choreographers: Chris Scott and Jamal Sims—and had been break up into two teams to get began. The primary group, working with Chris Scott, had Easton Magliarditi, Madison Rouge Alvarado, and Jaylin Sanders. The second group, working with Jamal Sims, had Mariyah Hawkins, Anthony Curley, and Dakayla Wilson. That’s proper, the members of our resident showmance, Anthony and Dakayla, had the possibility to work collectively once more.
The highest 6 obtained proper to work on their mini-movies. Chris’s crew began on an Within the Heights quantity, set to the track “When the Solar Goes Down.” And ICYMI, Chris was the choreographer for the Within the Heights movie, so, naturally, the strain was actually on for this crew.
The second group, working with Jamal, began on their Footloose-inspired routine. The twist? Their film could be Footloose meets Frankenstein, with Anthony performing as Mariyah and Dakayla’s monster/man.
Quickly after, the dancers traded the dance studio for the movie studio. They had been joined by the judges, who caught all of the extra-exclusive, behind-the-scenes content material, together with which dancers had been slaying and which had been struggling. Jaylin, particularly, appeared to be having a harder time. “He simply doesn’t have a data of his personal physique but,” mentioned Allison Holker.
As soon as it was quiet on set, it was time to listen to from the judges. First, they watched Chris’s crew on the massive display screen. And whereas Jaylin did his finest to face his floor, it appeared he fell behind compared to the opposite two dancers. Madison, then again, was a standout, with the judges giving her appearing and character efficiency excessive reward.
Subsequent up was the movie from Jamal’s crew. The judges had been particularly impressed by Anthony, who was decidedly the star of the present. However after watching their efficiency, Mariyah was dissatisfied in her personal efficiency. “I used to be actually happy with the work that I believe I put in, and I suppose that I believe I’m a bit deflated with the consequence as a result of it felt a lot completely different than it seems,” she mentioned.
Lastly, it was time for the outcomes. The judges picked the three dancers who had been voted protected, leaving the opposite three vulnerable to being despatched residence. After a lot deliberation, Jaylin, Mariyah, and Dakayla had been all left vulnerable to elimination. However fortunately, this week, just one dancer could be despatched residence of the three.
Whereas Jaylin and Mariyah’s sudden-death solos had been a bit extra delicate, Dakayla did it large, and the judges had been impressed. Ultimately, each she and Mariyah had been chosen to bop one other week, and Jaylin was despatched residence. “There’s much more up my sleeve that folks don’t know I do. That is only the start,” he mentioned.
