Noah & Sharna - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 10: Freestyle


DWTS Season 20, Week 10 -
Freestyle REVIEW: Noah & Sharna



Noah & Sharna:

Kicking off the fan favorite Freestyle Round, Noah Galloway and partner, Sharna Burgess, danced a Freestyle to "Titanium" by David Guetta, featuring Sia, and to "Fix You" by Coldplay.

To be completely (albeit, a little brutally!) honest, when I first learned that Sharna had elected to perform a "Contemporary-esque" Freestyle, I was a little more than concerned that the judges might only see it as a "play it safe" strategy, which, being a bit more brutally honest, is exactly what it was ... After all, anyone who has watched this last Season of DWTS has quickly and easily been able to deduce that a Contemporary style of dance is Noah's strongest, Ballroom suit; on the other hand, there is something to said for "playing to your strengths" ...

So, just how do you play to your strengths in order to exhibit the best dancing possible for the Freestyle Round, while not appearing as though you merely "Phoned it in" to the Judging Panel??  Simple!  You take a page from Noah & Sharna, and kick some Contemporary @$$ !!

Noah's dancing was nothing less than touching, emotional, and superb, as Sharna's excellent choreography once again told Noah's heroic tale in a beautiful and graceful marriage of flowing movement and some seriously Show-stopping Lifts!

Absolutely Amazing!!


"You know, they talk on DWTS about 'the journey'," a standing Len Goodman observed, "[and] your 'journey' has been the hardest and the longest ... and, as we nearly reach journey's end, I gotta say, that was amazing!"

" ...To me," began Judge Julianne Hough, "that was what a Freestyle is:  It's supposed to be 'Free', and you were so free in that ...  The choreography, the intricacy, the connection between you and Sharna, the other Dancers, I've never seen something so whole; and, it was so beautiful!  I loved it!!".


Noah and Sharna's incredible performance went on to receive four 10’s, marking the Couple's 2nd perfect score of the Season!
