For people who missed it this past Wednesday, here is our Paloma Herrera on So You Think You Can Dance:
From what I can tell through Google, it looks like nearly all responses from the gen pub have been positive 😀
Some people mentioned they’d have preferred a pdd (since SYTYCD is about partnering, after all) — something more like this:
Dancers above are our studly Jose Manuel Carreno and the Royal’s lovely Tamara Rojo.
I miss Jose; he hardly danced with ABT this past Met season…
I would also have preferred the pdd but my guess is that they opted for the fan variation due to time restrictions. After all, the choreography their contestants perform is very brief and they probably like to keep all of the dance segments short – a side effect of short attention span theatre!
I thought Paloma did very well.
My fav doing this presently is Vishneva, but Paloma was great.
Paloma was lovely, but I think it's just a little more exciting to see some great partner work on a show like this.
