Alek Skarlatos and Lindsay Arnold – Contemporary
Alek is paying tribute to the American sniper, Chris Kyle. Alek wants to show that he was just having a bad day (week) last week. Alek got the chance to go to the World Series this week and Lindsay hopes it helps him recognize how heroic he is to people. Alek is doing contemporary for him- which is perfect for him. He gets to show his strength and he doesn’t have to worry too much about hold or technical ballroom specifics. A solid contemporary routine here. Another lift mishap. What’s up tonight? Lindsay almost fell coming down from a lift when Alek nearly missed catching her. That was…short? I don’t know. It was good but I am a tad underwhelmed because I wanted to see more. I think a contemporary routine based on feeling like a hero could have been so much more from a dancing perspective. For sure though, these dances are better for Alek than ballroom ones.

Bruno talks about how hard it is to judge a dance after knowing the person. Bruno talks about Alek almost missing a lift but he did think the dance was moving. Carrie Ann thinks Alek rose to the occasion. She didn’t see a mistake. Instead, something about her toe being caught in his neck. She did feel though it was a bit simplistic. Julianne feels Lindsay worked with Alek’s strength but she wanted to see a bit more side by side.
