REVIEW: Jodie & Keo




Dancing a Contemporary to "Try" by P!nk, Fuller House star, Jodie Sweetin, and her Professional dancing partner, Keo Motsepe, presented their Week 06 Routine.

Ah, TeamMoSweet is BACK; and well, More Sweet than ever, as this reunited Duo submitted one truly Impressive and Emoting Dance for their Famous Dances Night Routine!

If I'm being completely honest, this general type of Contemporary Style just isn't at all  "My Cup of Tea" (with respect to Len!) with its seemingly over-the-top effort to include each and every single hideous pose known within the Art of Dance in a seriously misguided attempt to effect a more "Meaningful" and "Artistic" Feel and Performance.

That said, on this particular Week of Weeks, it was merely Jodie (and even more so) Keo's job to recreate one assigned Famous Dance Routine, nothing more and less; and in that respect, this Dance was pulled off beautifully!

A no less than gripping Exhibition, this physically expressed (Good grief, you guys, what'd that poor Table ever do to you?! ... ;) ) depiction of Emotional Turmoil ("Try"... or not ... I'm guessing that it's seriously time to re-think this Relationship!), unbridled Passion, and Anger wonderfully showcased Jodie's particular talent for Live Performances, as well as her great and always present Musicality and Terrific Lines overall!

"That was a really difficult Routine to watch," observed Panel Judge, Carrie Ann Inaba, concerning the Performance, "because there's so much Aggression and so much Anger in it … but I think you transformed something sort of Aggressive and, what I consider [to be], almost on the Borderline of 'Ugly' into something really Dynamic and Artistic, and Beautiful!  …"

Now, there was, of course, that one faltering Lift in the middle of this Routine, where things got just a bit iffy for Sweetin, which in turn forced Motsepe to just completely "muscle it out" (Very nicely done, btw, Keo!);  but otherwise, yet another simply STELLAR Showing for this always amazing Couple!

"… It had that 'Confrontational' feel about it that comes from the Video," remarked Head Judge, Len Goodman, "and I thought you Performed it so well!  You know, I know there was a little struggle getting into the Lift; but that Lift is so iconic and you pulled it off!  Great work, well done both of you!" 

Hear, hear!
