Rumer & Val - Review of DWTS Season 20, Week 10: Freestyle

DWTS Season 20, Week 10 -

Freestyle REVIEW: Rumer & Val

Rumer & Val:

Concluding DWTS' Season 20's Freestyle Round was Rumer Willis and her Professional partner, Valentin Chmerkovskiy, dancing to "Toxic" by Britney Spears, as sung by Rumer herself (and DWTS' very own Valentin accompanied the song on the Violin) ... nice touch, guys!

At first, to be honest, I was a little underwhelmed by the choreography ...  I thought to myself, "Argentine Tango??  Instead of the rip 'em, roar 'em Freestyle? Really, Val?!  (And BTW, nice try, but you can't fool us, Val ... "That's not me!" proclaimed Val in the pre-dance rehearsal package regarding what would be a typical, larger-than-life Freestyle ... Uh, you wanna check that list?  Your all-10's-earning Westside Story Jazz number with Janel Parrish in Season 19, your Broadway-style routine with Lea Thompson during Season 19's Week 05 Switch up Week, your Disney-inspired Samba with Rumer ... these are just a few of the larger-than-life productions you somehow managed to put on over the years ...)!

However, concerning the nights Freestyle, it gives me no small amount of pleasure to admit:  I could not have been more wrong!

Rumer & Val's Freestyle 
S20, Wk10 - The Finals

This dance was incredible; and,  it perfectly-showcased Rumer's beautiful, Pro-like dancing ability!

Quiet, gripping, and passionate, this Argentinian-flavored Freestyle was the type of dance to demand your attention (and applause!); and, furthermore, proved to be just the ticket to Rumer & Val dancing their way to yet another full set of perfect 10's!

Rumer's "stripped down" Freestyle, with it's Argentinian flavour,

was sharp, exquisite, and flawless!

"Take a chance, and just dance!", a terribly-excited Len Goodman observed, " ... Straight into the performance:  It was pure, it was brave! ... Well done!".

Judge Julianne Hough obviously agreed when she exclaimed, " ... It had dynamics, it was raw, it was real, ... Hands down, loved it!".

Well, that definitely makes two of us, Julianne, as I absolutely loved it too!!

Rumer & Val's Season 20 Freestyle was

smooth, quiet, and full of passion!
