Welcome back.
They were chosen this week by Nigel from the thousands that You submitted through the app.
Tonight we're celebrating the Music of michael jackson.
Since that -- is that michael? Oh! And since that music has Inspired so many dancers over The years, we thought it would Be nice to hear from the Teachers, relatives and fellow Performers that most inspired Our top eight in their dance Careers.
Let's start with ricky.
Growing up, i didn't have the Best financial situation.
So one of my biggest Inspirations in life is victor Smalley.
He gave me a full scholarship to His studio.
That's why i know how to dance Now.
I'm victor smalley.
I was on season six of "so you Think you can dance.
" Now i have a student on season 11.
He means everything to us.
He's been sent from the dance Gods to us.
Ricky, you're the Magician of dance.
I said, just trust me.
Just trust me and we'll go far Together.
I was a mess before i met Him.
Really wasn't a good dancer at All.
As sad as it is for me to let Go, it's time for him to spread His wings and fly.
Ricky is paired up with All-star jaimie in a travis wall Contemporary routine.
This piece is about having to Best friend that picks you up When you're down.
Makes you realize that life Isn't so bad.
You have so many things to smile About.
Ricky in this piece is a Positive light.
You know in any moment at any Time that that person will Always be there for you.
The technicalities in this Piece is extremely difficult.
The extensions just don't go up.
They go up and continue Extending.
I told ricky i want his bones to Escape his skin.
Travis' routines are no joke.
It's a challenge to make our Routine look effortless.
This is the person to be in The competition.
That's what ricky has to prove This week.
? ?smile though your heart is Aching ? ?smile, even though it's Breaking ? ?when there are clouds in the Sky ? ?you'll get by ?if you smile ?with your fear and sorrow ?smile and maybe tomorrow ?you'll find that life is Still worthwhile ? ?if you just smile ?smile ? ?smile I will smile.
Thank you guys.
The amazing jaimie, everybody! I love her.
She's fabulous.
She couldn't be more amazing.
Were you crying before that even Started? Yeah.
Why? This is a dream come true.
Every time i step on the stage, I can't believe it's actually Happening.
And he collects Everything as well.
I have to give him all the Cards, everything.
I put them all in my journal.
I'm sappy.
In a good way.
Jenna, what did you think? Oh, my god.
Ricky, you're incredible.
I'm completely blown away by you In every single way.
Your technicality and extension As we all know, but for some Reason in watching this dance is Just highlighted.
It was so incredible.

The connection between you guys, I felt that love and that Friendship and needing each Other through the entire Routine.

Everything you do, you just do It with the best ability, the Upper level that we haven't seen In a long time.

But you did.
Those lock steps across that Stage, your expression was Perfect.
You felt like you were living It.
Happy go lucky.
It was amazing to me.
The rolls, everything that you Were doing were so good.

That made me happy.
Nigel? What was cooking? Okay, okay.
Just asking.
You look vivacious tonight.
You do.
I love that piece of music.

No question, you want to dance To this music.
You showed us how to dance just Then.
That personality of yours came Beaming across.

com/dance OR USING The fox now app.
Let's hear it one more time for Value rear.
Don't go anywhere.
We still have six more thrillers For you.
I know.
It's our top eight that get Together with the all-stars to Celebrate the music of michael Jackson.
After the break, casey pairs up With all-star comfort.
First, let's see him put his own Spin on a solo.
Put your hands together for Casey! Welcome back to the Show.
It's time for another of the top Eight to show you the skills That got them noticed at Auditions.
Here with the solo, ladies and Gentlemen, it's rudy! ? Ladies and gentlemen, Rudy! Okay.
Now, let's hear from two women That inspire casey on his road To this season's top eight.
Take a look.
My biggest inspiration comes From my two dance teachers.
They trained me for about four Years and shaped me into the Dancer i am today.
About four years ago, i met Casey through a group of kids.
I heard about him but didn't Know him.
I see this young boy on stage.
He starts turning and i was wow! We just looked at each other Right away and he started Training with us.
I worked with so many Choreographers.
None of them made me feel the Way mrs.
chambers does when i'm Dancing their style.
For us to name him as his Mentors was the most emotional Thing i've had in a long time.
So many kids move on and Don't say that's who got me to Here.
To be someone's mentor is Probably the most honorable job You could ever have.
Casey's teamed with All-star comfort with a pharside And phoenix number.
We've choreographed this Theatrical hip-hop routine.
Comfort is a spider trying to Give casey the kiss of death.
Kill him! Casey's character has to be Over the top, animated.
Almost a fatal attraction.
He wants her but he knows that If she kisses him -- I'm a contemporary dancer That i'm internal with my Feelings.
They want the theatrics of it.
That's what i have to work the Hardest on.
They have to make it their Own.
That will sell the story.
?xscape ?everywhere i turn, no matter Where i look ? ?the systems in control, it's All ran by the book ? ?i've got to get away so i can Free my mind ? ?xscape is what i need ?away from electric eyes ?no matter where i am, i see My face around ? ?they then lie on my name and Push from town to town ? ?don't have a place to return, But there's no need to hide ? ?i have to find a place ?but i won't hide away ?xscape, got to get away from A system lose in the world Today ? ?xscape, the pressure that i Face from relationships that's Gone away ? ?xscape, the man with the Pen ? ?i can't take this garbage Anymore ? ?xscape, i do what i want Cause i got face nobody but me ? 902 00:41: 00:42:01,451 cause i got face nobody but me ? ?xscape ?xscape ? ?xscape Step into my pap Legislator, parlor, said the Spider.
Ladies and gentlemen, comfort! Come over here.
That's a dream come true.
Nigel, over to you.
Casey, i keep saying To you, you're growing and Growing each week.
Here you are doing a style that You're totally unaccustomed to.
You have the black widow Performing all over you.
You're trying to get this swag Together.
Pharside and phoenix have given You a routine as they always do That is very theatrical and Allows you not to worry too much About the style.
Be careful with that because at The same time, you have to feel It, get down and feel it a Little more.
But whatever happens in the vote Tonight, you must promise me That you'll continue this Momentum of growing and growing Whatever happens in the show Now.
It's doing you a lot of good.
Jenna? Casey, you're amazing.
What i love so much about you, You have this incredible stage Presence that fills up the whole Stage.
You don't overdo it with your Facial expressions.
Even with the hip-hop, which is Not the most comfortable in.
You felt funky, you were getting In the ground, you were being Sharp.
You had -- in the moment behind Comfort, who is -- she's out of This world.
That can be intimidating.
You were behind her and grooving With her and in the moment.
It was so good.
I loved it.
I love you.
So great.
Mary? Well, you know, casey, It is a little hard not to watch Comfort.
I'm going to say that.
But i'm going to tell you, after But i'm going to tell you, After you dropped that spider down on You dropped that spider down on The ground, you got your jam on.
It was committed.
It was strong.
And as the dance went along, you And as the dance went along, You even took it to another level.
Even took it to another level.
You were hitting everything Cleaner and sharper as it went Along.

Somebody that has inspired me In every way possible has been Tokyo.
He's one of the biggest Contemporary choreographers Right now in the u.
s.
He took me under his wing and Started training me.
Every field of sports, you Find the one kid that they Obviously love the sport they're Doing.
But he was just not good.
Just wanted to give the guy a Hug.
People always told me i Wouldn't make it.
I was that fat, bad dancer.
He saw the heart and the passion I had for dance.
In the past two or three Years, he's really grown into an Incredible dancer.
The most important advice That he's given to me is fight For what you want and give it 110% until you get it.
This week, rudy joins All-star alison for a dark ray Leeper routine.
It's a story about obsession.
I'll do anything to have it.
All i want is for him to be like Me.
The sad news is that i'm Taken.
I'm planning to push her away.
But there's a side of me that Does want her.
These two characters are Definitely not in a healthy Place.
Because rudy is such a strong Dancer, it comes with a lot of Aggression.
He needs to breathe and be more Vulnerable.

I can reveal that next week You'll be dancing with all-star Fik-shun.
That will be interesting, right? Yeah.
What, nigel? I can't wait for that One.
What did you think of This week? I guess broadway is a Lot more akin to tap than Anything else of the other Genres.
So therefore, especially when You sort of get down in the Thighs, i'd like to have seen That a little more tonight.
Zack, there's no question, the Very fact that you're not in the Bottom two, people are realizing How strong and good you are.
And i think you've surprised a Lot of people with how far You've come in this competition.
I'm very, very proud of you.
I really am.
And i think this routine was Fun.
It's hard doing broadway.
When we were doing "american Idol," randy jackson would put People down and say oh, you're a Broadway singer.
People forget how tough broadway Is and how great you have to be To be on broadway.
Well-done, young man.
Jenna? There's an incredible Amount of control and Showmanship that has to be Incorporated when doing Broadway.
And you nailed that.
You had both of those things.
You completely won makenzie Over.
I could tell.
You were smooth.
You used the whole stage.
You put everything out there.
You work hard and growing every Single week.

Every week it's like nigel said, Too, you're just growing and Growing.
Everything that everybody gives You, you just do it so Wholeheartedly.
It's the spirit of how you Attack everything.

First, it's nicky.
Welcome back to "so you Think you can dance.
" Tonight we're celebrating music That has inspired generations of Dancers.
The music of michael jackson.
Along the way we're hearing from People closer to home that Inspired our top eight to become Such fabulous performers.
For jacque, getting into dance Was a family affair.
Take a look.
My older cousin, christian, Is one of the persons i've Looked up to.
She's why i got into dance.
Growing up in a family Dominated by guys, jacque and i Clung to each other.
She's like my big sister.
When i was little, i watched Her to dance.
I wanted to be like her.
When she pushed over to ballet, I had to do ballet.
Being the big sister, i Wanted her to be the best.
I'd teach her some things that Other girls in her class hadn't Learned yet.
I gave her the extra edge.
I probably would be dancing If it wasn't for her.
She always pushed me to be Better and follow my dreams.
As she's progressing, moving Forward, i know she will go far.
I always looked up to her so Much.
To have her so close to me while I'm here means so much.
I'm so glad you've made it so Far.
Everybody back home is so proud Of you.
Keep going.
Dancing with all-star Twitch, jacque will take on a Hip-hop routine with dave scott.
It's almost overwhelming that I get to dance with twitch.
A big week for me.
I'm a little nervous.
I need her to just let go and Dance.
When she's not thinking about It, she does the moves correct.
She's going to have to forget About ballerina jacque.
She's going to have to go street Jacque, funky jacque.
I'll have the style down or Have a hard time getting this Hip-hop.
Never seen a ballerina go Hard till now.
? ?she dances in these sheets at Night ? ?she dances to his needs ?she dances till she feels Just right ? ?until he falls asleep ?she's a slave to rhythm ?she's a slave to the rhythm ?a slave to the rhythm of ?the rhythm of love, the Rhythm of love ? ?she works so hard just to Make her way ? ?for a man who just don't Appreciate ? ?and though he takes her love In vain ? ?still she could not stop, Couldn't break his chains ? ?she's a slave to the rhythm ?she's got to get back, get Home and do it baby ? Oh let's hear it for Twitch, everybody! And you, young lady, i mean, Jenna.
Oh, jacque, you did It, girl.
I didn't see any -- the Ballerina was not there.
Your neck roll and your body Roll.
I was like oh, girl, you're Getting it.
It was so good.
And dave scott, that was Amazing.
I love that routine.
That was so fun to see that side Of you.
You're so gorgeous and you offer Funky and you got into the Ground.
I'm proud of you.
Really, really good.
Yeah! Mary? Jacque, last week you Were mesmerizing with travis Wall's contemporary ballet with Chehon.
This week, it was a very Different hip-hop for you.
It had tricky isolated and lots Of different feels to it and Grooves to it.
And you really just conquered It, i felt.
It was amazing! I was so proud of you.
I thought i'm watching a Ballerina right now? She's getting down up there.
It was really so fun to see you Grow like this.
Dave scott did an amazing job.
Side by side work was so spot on And so down into it.
You weren't a slave whatsoever To this rhythm.
You were having a party in it.
Party! Nigel? It's funny.
The placement that is required For ballet, the poker back, so You're so straight.
You used parts of your body that I doubt have ever been used Before.
Dave scott put you through it.
You and twitch look like an Incredible capable together.
You complemented each other.
I think it's only fair probably That twitch does the swan lake Next week if you're still on the Show.
But you really -- i didn't i'd Ever say this, but you have Swag.
Oh, wow! I didn't think i'd use The word swag.
Still not entirely Convinced, nigel.
Swag! Like shazam.
You have shazam! Okay.
Shall we do some results? Oops.
Yes.

Before then, who helped shape Jessica into a dancer worthy of The top eight.
I truly don't think that i Would be the dancer i am today Without the help of talia Fabias.
I was so scared of her.
She had purple hair, always Called me out.
Giving me fractions and stuff.
The moment i saw her, i was Drawn to her.
I knew it would be a Relationship for a long time.
Now i know she saw something In me that nobody has seen Before.
Choreographers are like Painters.
The dancers are like paint Brushes.
Jessica is like that paint Brush.
That constant new.
Watching her dance inspired me To get more ideas.
She helps me just as much as i Think i try to help her.
It means the world to me Having to support of talia who Has had a profound effect on me And my dancing.
Jessica, watching you dance Always brings me love and light.
I can't express how proud of you I am.
I love you and congratulations! Jessica is paired with All-star will for a contemporary Routine with mandy moore.
This is a story about earth And man kind.
He's supposed to represent The beauty and the nature of Earth.
I'm supposed to represent Someone that kind of lives the Fast life.
Will and i are definitely going To have to get into character.
For me, it will be harder.
I have to be uncomfortable.
I definitely have to remember to Keep that throughout the whole Piece.
? ?what about sunrise ?what about rain ?what about all the things That you said we were to gain ? ?did you ever stop to notice ?all the blood we have shed Before ? ?did you ever stop to notice ?this crying earth, these Weeping shores ? ?aah, aah ?ooh, ooh ?aah, aah ?ooh, ooh ?hey ?what about the crying man ?what about abraham ?what about death again ?do we give a damn ?what about us Great stuff, guys.

Welcome back.
They were chosen this week by Nigel from the thousands that You submitted through the app.
Tonight we're celebrating the Music of michael jackson.
Since that -- is that michael? Oh! And since that music has Inspired so many dancers over The years, we thought it would Be nice to hear from the Teachers, relatives and fellow Performers that most inspired Our top eight in their dance Careers.
Let's start with ricky.
Growing up, i didn't have the Best financial situation.
So one of my biggest Inspirations in life is victor Smalley.
He gave me a full scholarship to His studio.
That's why i know how to dance Now.
I'm victor smalley.
I was on season six of "so you Think you can dance.
" Now i have a student on season 11.
He means everything to us.
He's been sent from the dance Gods to us.
Ricky, you're the Magician of dance.
I said, just trust me.
Just trust me and we'll go far Together.
I was a mess before i met Him.
Really wasn't a good dancer at All.
As sad as it is for me to let Go, it's time for him to spread His wings and fly.
Ricky is paired up with All-star jaimie in a travis wall Contemporary routine.
This piece is about having to Best friend that picks you up When you're down.
Makes you realize that life Isn't so bad.
You have so many things to smile About.
Ricky in this piece is a Positive light.
You know in any moment at any Time that that person will Always be there for you.
The technicalities in this Piece is extremely difficult.
The extensions just don't go up.
They go up and continue Extending.
I told ricky i want his bones to Escape his skin.
Travis' routines are no joke.
It's a challenge to make our Routine look effortless.
This is the person to be in The competition.
That's what ricky has to prove This week.
? ?smile though your heart is Aching ? ?smile, even though it's Breaking ? ?when there are clouds in the Sky ? ?you'll get by ?if you smile ?with your fear and sorrow ?smile and maybe tomorrow ?you'll find that life is Still worthwhile ? ?if you just smile ?smile ? ?smile I will smile.
Thank you guys.
The amazing jaimie, everybody! I love her.
She's fabulous.
She couldn't be more amazing.
Were you crying before that even Started? Yeah.
Why? This is a dream come true.
Every time i step on the stage, I can't believe it's actually Happening.
And he collects Everything as well.
I have to give him all the Cards, everything.
I put them all in my journal.
I'm sappy.
In a good way.
Jenna, what did you think? Oh, my god.
Ricky, you're incredible.
I'm completely blown away by you In every single way.
Your technicality and extension As we all know, but for some Reason in watching this dance is Just highlighted.
It was so incredible.
I can't -- travis wall, you blow My mind wherever you are.
Like every single week it Continues to get better and Better.
The connection between you guys, I felt that love and that Friendship and needing each Other through the entire Routine.
Yeah, it blew me away.
A great way to start off the Show.
Amazing.
Mary? Cat, the lyrics in that Song said when the clouds go by, You'll let everything go.
You know? Let it go by.
And ricky, there are no clouds For you.
I have to say, there's no rainy Days on this show so far.
Everything you do, you just do It with the best ability, the Upper level that we haven't seen In a long time.
You make it so effortless.
Travis wall brought this song to Life.
He had two brilliant dancers to Do it with.
There were so many incredible Moves in this whole process.
That little tunnel turn that she Was suspended in your arms.
I've seen that done with the Tips of her of her toes down.
You liquefied my bones tonight Just watching that.
Nigel? Well, first off, what A beautiful piece of music.
As you know, that was written by Charlie chaplan that many years Ago.
Some wonderful technical things Going on in there that you Transcend that now.
That's what is so wonderful About it.
You're almost forgetting and Technique.
It happens.
You're finding the zen-like State where you're no longer Dancing.
You are the dance.

In brazil, it's a dance, it's a Religion.
In ballroom dancing, it's a nice Step.

That was jean-marc with a simple Samba move that you can learn at Home.
In a moment, we'll see what Happens when he joys valerie and All-star pull together for a More complicated routine.
But first, we here who inspired Valerie to dance.
One person who played a big Role in making me the dancer i Am today is kathy simpson.
I started dancing at her studio When i was three years old.
Valerie can move us to tears When we watch her dance.
She's been doing that for a lot Of years.
She was this little Freckled-faced long arm, long Leg thing.
But what a dancer.
I look up to mrs.
cathy Because of the person she is.
She really encouraged me to move Out here and i'm glad i did Because that got me to be on the Show.
I'm so proud of her Accomplishments.
Valerie, you're just a Star up there! Sometimes i feel like i have To pinch myself when i think About that, that she's doing This, this little girl from Indiana.
Coming from that is incredible.
So proud of you.
I know you are.
Don't cry.
Valerie will be teamed Up with all-star reason for Jean-marc's ballroom routine.
This week i'm doing a samba.
I'm going to be a battle.
Ryan is a samba king! I want valerie to use her entire Body.
I want valerie to attack.
Hardest part of the routine Are the samba rolls.
Need to be hot.
This is a hot samba mess.
You don't deserve it.
Not yet.

Oh, my god.
You look gorgeous tonight! Woo! I'm telling you, cat, Jean-marc -- well-done! Whoo-hoo! Thank you, jean-marc.
Valerie, you attacked This.
Lots to be scared about.
You're not usually in high heels Dancing like that.
It's hard to find and ground That weight.
But you did.
Those lock steps across that Stage, your expression was Perfect.
You felt like you were living It.
Happy go lucky.
It was amazing to me.
The rolls, everything that you Were doing were so good.
The only place that seemed Uncomfortable was those passing Samba runs.
Outside that, you were cooking It.
I'm telling you.
That made me happy.
Nigel? What was cooking? Okay, okay.
Just asking.
You look vivacious tonight.
You do.
I love that piece of music.
Again, you know, it's so Inspirational.
I must have auditioned thousands Of kids on "so you think you can Dance.
" The majority only whom said to Me we were inspired to dance by Michael jackson's music.
No question, you want to dance To this music.
You showed us how to dance just Then.
That personality of yours came Beaming across.
I forgot last week's routine.
I'm ignoring it.
The problem is, we know that America votes on last week's Routine.
If you go home today, the fans Will be annoyed.
I will be too.
You were brilliant.
Jenna? Valerie, i love you.
You have such a joy and amazing Spirit about you when you dance.
You make me want to smile.
But tonight you were sexy.
You were like -- you were giving Me face, moving your hips.
You were so good and you were on Fire up there.
Congratulations.
Thank you so much.
Okay.
Well, nigel mentioned last Week's routine.

Because you know who you're Dancing with next week? No, i don't.
Twitch! It's the gift that keeps giving.
She's safe time.
But if you want valerie to make To it the finale, she will need Your vote.
YOU VOTE fox.
com/dance OR USING The fox now app.
Let's hear it one more time for Value rear.
Don't go anywhere.
We still have six more thrillers For you.
I know.
It's our top eight that get Together with the all-stars to Celebrate the music of michael Jackson.
After the break, casey pairs up With all-star comfort.
First, let's see him put his own Spin on a solo.
Put your hands together for Casey! Welcome back to the Show.
It's time for another of the top Eight to show you the skills That got them noticed at Auditions.
Here with the solo, ladies and Gentlemen, it's rudy! ? Ladies and gentlemen, Rudy! Okay.
Now, let's hear from two women That inspire casey on his road To this season's top eight.
Take a look.
My biggest inspiration comes From my two dance teachers.
They trained me for about four Years and shaped me into the Dancer i am today.
About four years ago, i met Casey through a group of kids.
I heard about him but didn't Know him.
I see this young boy on stage.
He starts turning and i was wow! We just looked at each other Right away and he started Training with us.
I worked with so many Choreographers.
None of them made me feel the Way mrs.
chambers does when i'm Dancing their style.
For us to name him as his Mentors was the most emotional Thing i've had in a long time.
So many kids move on and Don't say that's who got me to Here.
To be someone's mentor is Probably the most honorable job You could ever have.
Casey's teamed with All-star comfort with a pharside And phoenix number.
We've choreographed this Theatrical hip-hop routine.
Comfort is a spider trying to Give casey the kiss of death.
Kill him! Casey's character has to be Over the top, animated.
Almost a fatal attraction.
He wants her but he knows that If she kisses him -- I'm a contemporary dancer That i'm internal with my Feelings.
They want the theatrics of it.

Your core is tremendous.
Stacey in this choreography Shows us how strong you are.

Somebody that has inspired me In every way possible has been Tokyo.
He's one of the biggest Contemporary choreographers Right now in the u.
s.
He took me under his wing and Started training me.
Every field of sports, you Find the one kid that they Obviously love the sport they're Doing.
But he was just not good.
Just wanted to give the guy a Hug.
People always told me i Wouldn't make it.
I was that fat, bad dancer.
He saw the heart and the passion I had for dance.
In the past two or three Years, he's really grown into an Incredible dancer.
The most important advice That he's given to me is fight For what you want and give it 110% until you get it.
This week, rudy joins All-star alison for a dark ray Leeper routine.
It's a story about obsession.
I'll do anything to have it.
All i want is for him to be like Me.
The sad news is that i'm Taken.
I'm planning to push her away.
But there's a side of me that Does want her.
These two characters are Definitely not in a healthy Place.
Because rudy is such a strong Dancer, it comes with a lot of Aggression.
He needs to breathe and be more Vulnerable.
If i pass this week, this Would be the dance that will get Me to the finale.
No pressure.
I want to show them that i Can do it.
?oh, no ?you never make me stay ?so take your weight off of Me ? ?i know your every move, so Won't you just let me be ? ?i've been here times before, But i was too blind to see ? ?that you desues every man, This time you won't seduce me ? ?she looked me deep in the Eyes ? ?she's touching me to start ?she says there's no turning Back ? ?she trapped me in her heart ?dirty diana, no ?let me be ?she said i have to go home Cause i'm real tired, you see ? ?but i hate seeping alone, why ?but i hate seeping alone, Why don't you come with me ?

" Tonight we're celebrating music That has inspired generations of Dancers.
The music of michael jackson.
Along the way we're hearing from People closer to home that Inspired our top eight to become Such fabulous performers.
For jacque, getting into dance Was a family affair.
Take a look.
My older cousin, christian, Is one of the persons i've Looked up to.
She's why i got into dance.
Growing up in a family Dominated by guys, jacque and i Clung to each other.
She's like my big sister.
When i was little, i watched Her to dance.
I wanted to be like her.
When she pushed over to ballet, I had to do ballet.
Being the big sister, i Wanted her to be the best.
I'd teach her some things that Other girls in her class hadn't Learned yet.
I gave her the extra edge.
I probably would be dancing If it wasn't for her.
She always pushed me to be Better and follow my dreams.
As she's progressing, moving Forward, i know she will go far.
I always looked up to her so Much.
To have her so close to me while I'm here means so much.
I'm so glad you've made it so Far.
Everybody back home is so proud Of you.
Keep going.
Dancing with all-star Twitch, jacque will take on a Hip-hop routine with dave scott.
It's almost overwhelming that I get to dance with twitch.
A big week for me.
I'm a little nervous.
I need her to just let go and Dance.
When she's not thinking about It, she does the moves correct.
She's going to have to forget About ballerina jacque.
She's going to have to go street Jacque, funky jacque.
I'll have the style down or Have a hard time getting this Hip-hop.
Never seen a ballerina go Hard till now.
? ?she dances in these sheets at Night ? ?she dances to his needs ?she dances till she feels Just right ? ?until he falls asleep ?she's a slave to rhythm ?she's a slave to the rhythm ?a slave to the rhythm of ?the rhythm of love, the Rhythm of love ? ?she works so hard just to Make her way ? ?for a man who just don't Appreciate ? ?and though he takes her love In vain ? ?still she could not stop, Couldn't break his chains ? ?she's a slave to the rhythm ?she's got to get back, get Home and do it baby ? Oh let's hear it for Twitch, everybody! And you, young lady, i mean, Jenna.

You're so gorgeous and you offer Funky and you got into the Ground.

It was really so fun to see you Grow like this.
Dave scott did an amazing job.
Side by side work was so spot on And so down into it.
You weren't a slave whatsoever To this rhythm.
You were having a party in it.
Party! Nigel? It's funny.
The placement that is required For ballet, the poker back, so You're so straight.
You used parts of your body that I doubt have ever been used Before.
Dave scott put you through it.
You and twitch look like an Incredible capable together.
You complemented each other.
I think it's only fair probably That twitch does the swan lake Next week if you're still on the Show.
But you really -- i didn't i'd Ever say this, but you have Swag.

Before then, who helped shape Jessica into a dancer worthy of The top eight.
I truly don't think that i Would be the dancer i am today Without the help of talia Fabias.
I was so scared of her.
She had purple hair, always Called me out.
Giving me fractions and stuff.
The moment i saw her, i was Drawn to her.
I knew it would be a Relationship for a long time.
Now i know she saw something In me that nobody has seen Before.
Choreographers are like Painters.
The dancers are like paint Brushes.
Jessica is like that paint Brush.
That constant new.
Watching her dance inspired me To get more ideas.
She helps me just as much as i Think i try to help her.
It means the world to me Having to support of talia who Has had a profound effect on me And my dancing.
Jessica, watching you dance Always brings me love and light.
I can't express how proud of you I am.
I love you and congratulations! Jessica is paired with All-star will for a contemporary Routine with mandy moore.
This is a story about earth And man kind.
He's supposed to represent The beauty and the nature of Earth.
I'm supposed to represent Someone that kind of lives the Fast life.
Will and i are definitely going To have to get into character.
For me, it will be harder.
I have to be uncomfortable.
I definitely have to remember to Keep that throughout the whole Piece.
? ?what about sunrise ?what about rain ?what about all the things That you said we were to gain ? ?did you ever stop to notice ?all the blood we have shed Before ? ?did you ever stop to notice ?this crying earth, these Weeping shores ? ?aah, aah ?ooh, ooh ?aah, aah ?ooh, ooh ?hey ?what about the crying man ?what about abraham ?what about death again ?do we give a damn ?what about us Great stuff, guys.
