REVIEW: Antonio & Karina

Dancing the Cha-Cha to “Son of a Preacher Man” by Dusty Springfield, NFL Wide Receiver, Antonio Brown, and his Switch Up Professional partner, Karina Smirnoff, presented their Week 05 Routine.

Ah, Antonio is “BOOMING” once more!!

That’s right, folks, Booming Brown was BACK on last Monday evening, tearing up the Ballroom’s Dance Floor with one FABULOUS Cha-Cha Performance!

“Fabulous” but unfortunately not “Flawless”; however, as this amazing Routine did also serve to once again Showcase Antonio’s Heavy Footwork and Dragging Musicality, along with a Just-not-quite-there!-Cha-Cha Walk.

(Although, to be fair to that last pointer, which Celebrities really do truly excel when Exhibiting this Dancing, Latin Gait, except for the very few exceptions???)

Still, Brown’s stereotypical and always enjoyable panache for General Showmanship and Pizzazz remained delightfully intact; and, what’s more, SUPREME within this Routine, having been so effectually aided and shown off by Karina’s immaculate, fun, and stupendous Choreography!  … Another STELLAR Job, Smirnoff, I loved it!!

In the end I felt as though the 6’s given by Judges, Len and Maks, to this Performance were more than a little harsh and unjustified; and, I wouldn’t even have minded if one or two 8’s had been tossed around in this Dance’s overall Score either!

A TERRIFIC Job, Antonio & Karina; and, I can wait to see what the two of you have in store within your respective, original Dancing Partnerships for next Week!
