DWTS Season 22, Week 09

REVIEW:  Antonio & Sharna

Dancing the Contemporary to “Hall of Fame” by the script, featuring William, Antonio Brown and his Professional partner, Sharna Burgess, closed down their Semifinals evening.

Well, to be completely, albeit brutally honest, I didn’t much care for this Routine.

Antonio’s Dancing, although admittedly better than most nights of Competition (Thanks, let’s face it, folks, in large part to the blurred “structure” and “rules” that make up a more Artistically Free form of Movement, such as Contemporary Dance), was nonetheless persistently stiff, as though he were only going through the Motions of the Routine, instead of being, as he ought, more relaxed, natural, musical, and Fluid.

There were, however, those truly impressive Lifts, and more so, that mind-blowing, Running Lift which, by evening’s end, successfully served as one of the more “Breathtaking Moments” of the Semifinals as a whole.

 ... Still, it seems only fair to the night's other Competitors to mention that these same Lifts had been presumably made all the more impacting, due to their stark opposition to an otherwise Flat Showing.
