okay - if you haven't watched.... don't click because I don't want to spoil it for you.

After watching episode 3 I went back and watched the uncut workshop segments AND the uncut performances for this episode...

I did not think Shems should have been in the final three. I liked the impromptu costume - but really? immunity? no. her dancing did not merit the final three. and her workshop was really..... yuck. watch it in the uncut version - she might have something worthwhile to teach but I'm not sure what....and that hair? her stylist deserves a kick in the head. I really don't like that black & green/turquoise costume. I don't think the top flatters her at all - and really that outfit she showed up for in the workshop segment? she could have done so much better. She really fell down in the performance - her exhaustion was really showing.

Andalee's workshop was really quite good. - I went back and watched the uncut workshop. I think I could definitely learn something from her and of the uncut performances.... hers was the one I liked best. I liked the facial expression and her technique was flawless - her style reminded me of Aziza quite a bit. She was really great on stage.

Victoria? really? - a veil workshop without a veil AND a back bend without warm up Or warnings? -and she ended early.... bad - but then I didn't like her anyway. No- the judges are right - I don't need another veil dvd. & her hair! sheesh woman - keep it out of your face - it cast shadows all over her face which hid her facial expressions -

Sherena's combo - I've already practiced it - It was so good! on watching the uncut version...I felt the combo was really very complex - too complex for a three minute spurt? possibly. on the other hand - these are pro level dancers on the stage behind her - maybe she felt the need to impress them? her performance was good but was it stellar? and I didn't like the costume particularly. The arm band was cute but the skirt? & the belt.. and i have a real objection to hair in the face - could she not wear a hairband or a clip or something? meh.

Karolina... maybe should have done more teaching and not had one of the judges dance the exercise although... the instructions were that it was a workshop - not an instructional dvd segment - I could see that working in a small workshop class - it might actually be a lot of fun too. Her performance was good - I like the veil fans but... not really good enough to make her stand out.

I expected more out of Yvonne's workshop - she had plans - she just didn't get very far....in three minutes. Her performance didn't wow me. She does seem really remote and unapproachable over all. What did you think about her earring justification in the costume challenge. She did break the rules - they were supposed to only use items in the box...

I found Aradia's boobs really distractinge (she's the judge in the pale dress) I know they are fake but ... seriously a little out of proportion there?

love Sherena & Karolina's 'work out' teaching gear... very nice. & Yvonne's little flirty skirt - adorable.

I'm actually thinking the 6 finalist dvd will be pretty good and I really think Sherena will win. And i'm not just saying that because she'll be attending the same workshop as I will in Ohio at the end of March. I'm really torn between Andalee and Sherena. Sherena had the better workshop, although Andalee - could probably teach me something I NEED to learn, and Andalee had the performance I enjoyed more AND better hair.
We're allowed one vote per email address. I really recommend watching all of the uncut workshops and then decide, watch the performances too - why not - they are there.... The goal is not just to be the top dancer but to also have something worth teaching in a teachable style.

the 6 finalists short DVD is looking pretty attractive though..............
