Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
Thanks, SLA. I admit I have no idea what "iconic" dance week is even supposed to mean. Are they supposed to recreate the dances from the movies or I guess music videos for some of them? Cuz I'm thinking the one from Magic Mike might not work too well on this show. I know a few of these - Jailhouse Rock, Good Morning, etc. but nothing by Janet Jackson or Britney Spears, and I've never seen Magic Mike. I know the Madonna song but not the "iconic" dance. And really - who picked a rumba to "Time of Your Life?" Once you get past the opening bars, it's too fast, I think, for a rumba. Oh well . . . guess I'll find out in 3 days!
Thanks again for the info.

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
Your guess as to what "Iconic" dance week is probably as correct as you can get. Here is the definition that was in pureDWTS:
So we’ve moved onto “Iconic Dances” week, where the couples are supposedly going to be recreating “iconic” dances from movies, musicals, music videos, etc. I’m predicting we see some repeats of songs we’ve already heard before on the show, and apparently Court is working on a post predicting some of them.
As far as the few dances that are listed I don't know if that is pureDWTS guess or what. Wetpaint did not have any dances listed and said that ABC did not release any of the dances only the songs they would be dancing to.

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
I wonder if the Iconic Dance Week is referring more to the music, than the actual dances. A number of the dances from these movies, and videos are basically production numbers. I guess they would work if the majority were doing Contemporary dance.

Do so many of those song really not fit into any dance style? Seems like there's going to be a whole lot of nothing tonight. :\

I guess we will find out tonight - it sure won't be the first time the songs haven't fit the dance styles.LadyMustang65 wrote:Do so many of those song really not fit into any dance style? Seems like there's going to be a whole lot of nothing tonight. :\

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
You are not kidding about that one, SLA. I was thinking, for most of those songs, they would have to do a contemporary or jazz type of dance, because they are mostly production numbers.

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
For me, the 10s last night were well-deserved. I particularly enjoyed Andy and Allison's "Good Morning."
Didn't think Alek, Alexa or Hayes measured up this week.
As for Mark: What is wrong with him? Do all eyes have to be on him and his get-ups? Sorry, he just bugs me.

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
This turned out to be better than I expected. It was kind of fun actually (at least I thought so anyway) to see the production numbers for these songs. And I thought some of the pros did a really nice job of making them their own while still retaining the feel of the original.
Hayes and Emma - I love Grease, and this was a good try. I thought Hayes did a decent job with it, but at times he dances very young. He can't help it - he is young - but it kind of took away from the dance for me. It was good but not great, but I love how he just goes for everything and isn't all "that's not cool, I can't do that." I don't think he'll still be standing at the end, but he should be around a few more weeks still. Four 8s seemed fair.
Andy and Allison - I really liked this one. It may be my favorite piece of Allison choreography on this show. It felt very much like it could have come from one of those old MGM musicals. Really good job. And I thought Andy did a really good job of dancing it as well. He clearly learned a little bit last week that stuck with him. I think all 10s is a bit much, though but this was one of my favorite dances of the night.
Alexa and Mark - I'm not a Britney Spears fan by any means, so I'd never seen the dance they're talking about. I thought Alexa did okay but it was a bit rough. And what was on Mark's head? That was a weird hairstyle. Anyway, I thought her scores were a bit low. That had to hurt going from a perfect score last week to this; I feel bad for her, and I'm not sure she's being given enough credit.
Bindi and Derek - I actually didn't like this one that much. I thought the idea was to put their own spin on it, and it felt like they mostly just copied the dance from the movie. I saw where someone said that Derek said it was required to include the iconic moves, which is understandable, but I really couldn't tell what part was original. It just felt like a total rehash. Bindi did a good job with it, and Derek made a very good Patrick Swayze (although the lift was a tad bit shaky), but I don't know. It just didn't really wow me. And it didn't seem much like a rumba. If Andy was given a 40, then I guess it was appropriate for Bindi to get one. But overall I wasn't thrilled with this. It may be in part because they've gone to that well a few too many times on the show. I don't know. I was just 'meh' on this one.
Paula and Louis - It was nice to see Anna and Karina again! This just really wasn't good, although I did appreciate Louis' choreography. It had a very "Madonna" feel to it. But Paula just doesn't really seem to move at all. Scores were where they should have been.
Carlos and Witney -Again, it didn't feel at all like a rumba to me, but I thought he did a great job with this dance. Kudos to him for dancing solo - well, with the other guys but no Witney to give any encouragement or direction - that must have been hard. I really enjoyed this one. I thought Witney did a great job of adapting the routine and fitting herself into it. I'm surprised he didn't get a 40 for that. He was at least as good as Andy and Bindi. But at least he got a couple of 10s. I would watch this one again.
Nick and Sharna - This was really good. I liked Sharna's take on this dance. It incorporated the iconic moves without feeling like she was recreating the whole dance, and the samba parts felt more like a samba than any of the rumbas did. I thought Nick did a really good job with the dancing as well. One of my favorites of the night. Very good score for him.
Alek and Lindsay - This was another really fun one. I thought Alek did a good job with the dancing, and he made a pretty good Elvis. It also seemed like he was really trying to do more with his face. It was a bit uneven in parts, but overall a lot of fun and very enjoyable. His score was definitely too low. If they can give Hayes a 32, then give Alek at least that much if not a bit more. Don't know why they're scoring him so low.
Tamar and Val - Another one I'm not familiar with, so I don't know if it was a recreation or a fresh take on it, but I liked this. It felt very "Janet Jackson," and Tamar danced it really well. Also because of the nature of the dance, there didn't need to be a 'connection' between Val and Tamar, and I didn't notice any "blank face" on her this week. I thought Tamar looked really good out in front of the other dancers. Very good job for her. "Ignore your head" is good advice for a lot of us. So glad she got a 40 for that. It was definitely deserved with all the other perfect scores they were giving out.
Hate to say it, but I'm glad Paula is gone. She's the last of the duds, and I never really warmed up to her. I felt bad for Alexa - she took being in jeopardy really hard.
Hayes and Emma - I love Grease, and this was a good try. I thought Hayes did a decent job with it, but at times he dances very young. He can't help it - he is young - but it kind of took away from the dance for me. It was good but not great, but I love how he just goes for everything and isn't all "that's not cool, I can't do that." I don't think he'll still be standing at the end, but he should be around a few more weeks still. Four 8s seemed fair.

Re: Season 21 - Week 6 - Iconic Dances
Thank you for a very good critique of last night's dances. I agreed with most of what you said. I just found it difficult to feel bad for Alexa last night for being in jeopardy last night when the only good dance I thought she had was last week in the switch-ups. I guess she did okay on the dance in the space outfit but I just didn't care for the dance. I'm sure she got herself some sympathy votes for standing there crying during the elimination last night. I just don't want to see Alek get eliminated before her or for that matter before Hayes - I think he has been scored too low two weeks in a row and I'm just not sure what that is all about.
Singly you are not alone on Mark - the guy has bugged me for several seasons now.
There are videos of most of these original dances on the the main DWTS thread under Famous Dance Night (I think is the title of the thread) it's highlighted in red if you're interested. I watched them prior to the show last night because I had not seen most of them - only two of them I think and it was a long time ago - Grease and Dirty Dancing numbers.

Thanks, SLA. I'll have to go check out the ones I wasn't familiar with. And maybe the ones I am familiar with just to see how they compare.
