Well, I can’t say that I was too “Happy” about this next Performance (Read along if you feel like this Routine had a roof … of ability!). I will start off by noting that Marla actually did quite well for performing the Jive - A difficult Dance, to say the least, no matter when it is executed, MUCH LESS when executed within the early Weeks of Competition! – and, even more so, far better than I was initially prepared to give her credit for!

(I mean, c’mon, folks, and give it on up! That was an AMAZING Lift and subsequent Flip!!)

That said, I found this Routine to be tired and, what’s more, “Haggard” overall, with Marla’s (all-important) Kicks and Flicks being so much less than “Sharp”, and more still, her generic Footwork effecting a non-pleasing Heavy-footed Feel.

“… I love that you did not take the ‘Shortcut’, “ noted Panel judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, of the Performance, “you did a lot of Content, you push yourself physically … it was fantastic!”
“You’re ‘Happy’, I’m ‘Happy!” Head Judge, Len Goodman, stated simply concerning the Dance; and, while it seems sure that the above quotes merely arose as the direct result of a refreshing amount of pure “Content” within this Jive, it would be only fair to observe that, while Marla’s execution of it was a far cry from perfect, Choreography is half of this Ballroom’s battles; and, I must say that Tony, ever the consummate Pro, did a smashing job of it!

In the end, I found the Judges’ scoring of this dance of all “7”s to be a just and fair Score for this particular Routine, and had also noted Marla’s steady (albeit slow) dancing progression from Week to Week to be a - so far, at least - gratifying experience.
