80s challenge so real.JPG

This week we had to make up two dances! One of them was the 80's challenge where we got to dress up and dance to some old school songs. It was fun, but we didnt end up having the craziest performance in this section. After that, our next challenge was the "classic dance movie challenge." We were given a scene from the movie "Breakin" where the character Turbo is popping and animating with his broom. We KILLED this performance! We did this mirror trick that has never been done before on any dance show.

But the best news...we got enough votes to make it on to next week which means we're one of the final 2 crews in the competition!!!

Janet Jackson week was crazy! We started off with a group number to "Rhythm Nation" which turned out really well. It was fun working with all the other dance crews for once. We also got the song "I Get Lonely," which was perfect for our style. The audience went nuts over our performance. Let me just say that the whipped cream and chairs made everyone go wild along with the strong presence of our ladies playing the role of Janet. This was one of our best weeks. Shane said it was the best performance of the night and we are more then ready for next week.

Last week we danced to a master mix of Chris Brown's hit song song "With you." The challenge, however, came during the second half of the song where each crew had to make a break stopping transition into a super fast mix of dancing. It was a very difficult week for us and we struggled with the fast part because it was insanely intricate. We finally pulled off a decent performance, and the audience loved it. The judges were a little bit harsher this week. However, their criticism is always constructive. Every group on the show had a rough time. We killed the Chris Brown part but the fast part was a little harder. I'm so excited about this week. I can't give away the challenge, but the song perfectly fits our style! Shout out to all the fans! Love you guys!
