DWTS 21 Week 9 – Alek Skarlatos & Lindsay – Salsa – VIDEO
Lindsay admits that Alek isn’t the best dancer left in the competition. Carlos gives him some tips. Alek is a bit nervous about removing his shirt. And here comes the waxing. OUCH. Dang. I don’t understand the need for this level of waxing but alright. Well, not too shabby. Lindsay is quite smart here. She is using a gaggle of girls to help mask some of Alek’s weaknesses. Alek has always been weaker at the latin routines as compared to ballroom. He does have a few nice steps going here though. I see some hip action. I see some swagger. He looks like he is having fun. It is just a bit…under the bar that you would expect from a week nine salsa routine. But it could have been worse. Lindsay did her best with the choreography here though and I have to give Alek props for at least improving on his last latin dance.

Julianne says Alek looks great and the production was fun to watch. The bad news is though that Alek messed up a bit and he needs to use the floor more when using his hips. Bruno liked seeing Alek having fun. He does agree the hip action and the fluidity needs work. Carrie Ann is proud of how far Alek has come. She felt though that the music and Alek never quite came together.
Carrie Ann- 8
