Episode 10: Mary Finally Screams ... and it Isn't Too Bad


This is another crammed episode. After two dancers (Artem and Melissa) are eliminated, each of the remaining six couples dances twice and every dancer dances a solo. The judges (Nigel, Mia, Mary, and Dan) are once again commenting on every dance, but we still don't get any rehearsal packages. I never thought I'd say this, but I really miss the rehearsal packages. First of all, that's the only way, as a rule, that we get to find out who choreographed the dances. Most of the choreographers from Season 1 don't stick around, but it still seems only fair that they get acknowledged. Second, I like learning what kind of story is behind the dance, and what kind of stylistic elements to look for. It gives me some sense of what to watch for.
