miss v's voice: Dancing with the Stars Season 29: The Semifinals Don't Disappoint

Round One: Redemption Dance Judge’s Choice

Skai and Alan danced a Cha Cha per Bruno to Move Your Feet by Junior Senior— What a great redemption dance. I loved the music, I loved the choreography, it was so fun. Bruno loved it, he was energized and said it was sharp and strong. Carrie Ann said you were so tight and so crisp. This is what we wanted to see. Derek said that was such a brilliant dance, phenomenal, you were so confident. Score: 27/30

Justina and Sasha danced a Tango per Derek to El Tango de Roxanne— This was a huge improvement over the first time she did Tango. I think she still has room to grow as she doesn’t bring me in the way some of the other contestants do, but she did well. Derek said the attack, the passion, the energy. There were no hops. He said loved it, well done. Bruno said you were on top of it, total change of intention. Carrie Ann said there was a new confidence, you oozed sensuality. Score: 28/30

Johnny and Britt danced a Salsa per Carrie Ann to X by The Jonas Brothers— I think that was huge in terms of redemption. I loved his confidence! Carrie Ann said I am so proud of you, this was about growth. Derek said it was very intricate and a hard routine so well done. Bruno said you really have the feel of action, reaction, and connection. Great improvement. Score: 27/30

Nelly and Daniella danced a Paso Doble per Bruno— This was so good, unsure about that 8, but I’m not gonna hate on Derek too much. I thought he had so much power and so much control. I agree with Derek I’m that the music didn’t go with the movement but it didn’t seem appropriate for the dance. Bruno said I could see shapes and lines. You used restrained power, you put so much work into it. Carrie Ann said you danced with power and presence, so impressive. Derek said, Nelly there was definitely improvement, the focus you had was so captivating. Your side by side was so good, and you reminded me that I need to hit the gym. Score: 26/30

Nev and Jenna danced a Foxtrot per Derek to Sign of the Times by Harry Styles— This was beautiful. Nev has such a polished take on every dance and it seems like he works hard on technique. Derek said that was classic and pure foxtrot. Bruno said you are a class act. You never lost it. Carrie Ann said you have mastered the technique these past few weeks and truly become a ballroom artist. Score: 30/30

Kaitlyn and Artem danced a Paso Doble per Carrie Ann— The choreography was gorgeous. They both looked amazing. They were both strong and I loved how they supported each other as partners. Kaitlyn truly did improve on the things Carrie Ann gave her notes on. Carrie Ann said that was so well done. Derek said you sold me. Bruno told the whole story, it was 100% authentic Paso Doble. Score: 30/30

Round Two:

Justina and Sasha danced a Contemporary to Holding Out for a Hero— The dance is dedicated to their partnership. Yes!!!! This was amazing, all the feels. Derek said I am just having moments tonight. Thank you so much, I love watching you dance, it’s effortless. Beautiful arms. Bruno said such freedom of movement. I loved it. Carrie Ann said Sasha is a special heart and this dance, what is a ten, it’s when magic happens on the dance floor. Score: 30/30

Skai and Alan danced a Viennese Waltz to Lonely by Noah Cyrus— This looked gorgeous and genuine to me. This felt authentic. Bruno said what you did was so beautiful, you maintained an emotional connection throughout the dance. Carrie Ann said Skai you’re an exceptional young woman, you don’t stop fighting ever. You expressed your vulnerability and it took it to a whole other level. There was another dance you did for your friend but this one was for you. Derek said beautiful, elegant, your frame was gorgeous. I felt connected to you. Score: 30/30

Johnny and Britt danced a Jazz routine to I Lived by One Republic— I thought this dance really described the partnership between Johnny and Britt. The way they support each other is so beautiful. Carrie Ann said that was amazing, it felt like you were on cloud nine. Johnny agreed. Derek said it was a beautiful routine. I feel the genuine respect you have for each other as partners. Bruno said clear and everything I loved was there. Score: 30/30

Nev and Jenna danced a Contemporary to If the World Was Ending by JP Saks and Julia Michaels-- This looked genuinely complex and despite it, Nev was right there. Derek said I forgot to judge, this is so wonderful to witness and to watch. The partnership, the fluidity, and the creative-- so much goes into it, you aced it Jenna. Bruno said come on Nev you've done this before, you can't be that good. You were speaking to me. Carrie Ann said your partner is no joke, contemporary is your thing. Nev you delivered every single step. Score: 30/30

Nelly and Daniella danced a Jive to Jump, Jive, and Wail-- Nelly has been my favorite since day one. As I was watching him dance this, I felt something magical happening. It felt like he was having fun, he has all season, but you can tell he worked so hard on this. The judges were all on their feet. Bruno said Nelly you nailed it. Where did you come from? It was almost miraculous. What a job! Carrie Ann said Nelly what happened? I have never seen you boogie like that before, amazing job. Derek said dude you nailed that routine. Your energy, you guys need to have more drama more often. Nelly said Daniella is so dope. Score: 30/30

Kaitlyn and Artem danced a Contemporary to Cowboy Take Me Away by Dixie Chicks-- Heartfelt! I really felt Kaitlyn in this routine. Artem truly choreographs to her strengths which is beautiful. They have such a strong partnership; there is definite respect there. Carrie Ann said this has been an incredible night. Kaitlyn, you friend is smiling down on you. You danced from your heart and you two have some together beautifully. Derek said I loved this moment, you'll always have that for yourself. Bruno said powerful, beautiful dance.
