Marla & Tony – Review of DWTS Season 22, Week 04


DWTS Season 22, Week 04

REVIEW:  Marla & Tony




The first Couple to dance for DWTS’ Week 04 festivities, Donald Trump Ex, Marla Maples, and her Professional Partner, Tony Dovolani, performed a Waltz to “Part of Your World” from The Little Mermaid.

Look at this Waltz, wasn’t it neat?  Wouldn’t you think that its Score would be sweet? … Given the fact that it was a Waltz – A Waltz that had EVERYTHING???

… A no less than enchanting dive “Under the Sea”, this beautifully executed Routine by Marla served as an absolutely PERFECT inclusion in DWTS’ always gratifying Disney Night, while also wonderfully showcasing Marla’s supreme and natural ability to be ever Graceful and Feminine within the Art of Dance!
I mean to say, WHAT a lovely showing!!

Fluid Lines, an Elegant Frame, and some very nice Lifts were brought gently to life on Monday night’s Dance Floor, thanks in part, of course, to Maples, and thanks still, in even greater part, to her Pro partner, Tony, whose emoting Choreographing of this staunchly Content-filled Waltz was key in the transformation of this already-endeared animated classic 
into a positively <Ahem> SWIMMING Ballroom Performance (Oh, yes, I so went there!) !!

Nonetheless, and as much as it pains me to say it, the Choreography (Or perhaps it was merely Marla’s Dancing of it!), while certainly MORE than pleasing overall, did include what looked and felt like several disruptive “Pauses” within the otherwise Flowing Routine which, in turn, affected a rather “Bumpy” appearance at times.

Not to mention, Marla’s Footwork, while almost reaching the level of “Top-Notch”, still displayed a little bit of “Heaviness” and “Flatness” throughout.  … Perhaps Heels would have helped, Tony?

That said, it simply cannot be refuted that, in the end, and despite these visual afflictions, this dance had successfully remained a captivating-ly dainty and, and furthermore, delightful affair!

All “7”s, Judges?! … REALLY?!!  Not one of you could be bothered to throw up a well-earned “8” in there?!!!

And I must say, I think that I’m more disappointed in Head Judge Len Goodman than anyone whose casual dismissal of this “Strictly Waltz” Routine, as shown through his scoring of it, went starkly against his own previously made, approving observations that the Dance had included “Charm”, “Elegance”, and “Romance”!

Good night, Len!  While I more or less EXPECT a certain level of Idiocy and Vain Conceit to arise from the other Panel Judges, Carrie Ann and Bruno, and ESPECIALLY out of Guest Judge Zendaya (Who - “I’m not even gonna lie” - SUCKED all night long!), I usually expect much more from you, PARTICULARLY when it seems as though poor Tony had gone through such pains to make this Number purely “Waltz” for you, while still maintaining a good keeping with the evening’s Theme!

… Honestly, Can you guys, PLEASE, just pull it together?!
