Dancing with the Stars Season 4 Week 7: Rewatch
Ballroom Round
Laila and Maks- Quickstep (Judges' Score=29, My Score=9)- Laila was definitely nervous tonight. You could see it all over her face. Now I don't think this fact affected her dance at all. I thought that this quickstep was Laila's best dance of the season so far. Everything was so refined, her legs were so nice and she moved so easily and beautifully across the floor. Their body contact was perfect. It was almost a perfect dance up until we got to Laila's posture. At times, it was lacking and I'm going to chalk that up to nerves. That's where they decided to show up. But otherwise, I loved this dance.
John and Edyta- Foxtrot (Judges' Score=23, My Score=7)- This was definitely John's best dance so far and probably will be his best dance of the season. He really did a great job portraying the character. And the dance itself had a lot more content than we're used to seeing from John AND it was done competently. There were some mistakes (I think nerves got the best of him in those moments) and John was a bit heavy footed in places, but it was actually a good dance.
Apolo and Julianne- Foxtrot (Judges' Score=26, My Score=9)- I gotta say that I was expecting more from this dance. It was really good, but there were some odd quirks happening from his hands to his head position at times. His posture and frame weren't quite as good as I would've liked them to be either. It was still good and smooth and (mostly) sophisticated. But there were a lot of small moments that were off.
Ian and Cheryl- Tango (Judges' Score=27, My Score=8)- So this was a huge improvement for Ian. The technique wasn't as great as it could've been. His legs got crossed up and they were just a bit atrocious. It led to his posture being not so great. BUT, he definitely let go and truly lived in the moment. He got out of his head and performed the dance really well.
Billy Ray and Karina- Waltz (Judges' Score=17, My Score=6)- I liked it. I think this was my favorite dance from Billy Ray all season. Was there a lot of content? No! Was there even a tiny bit? Absolutely not! But what he did do was so much better than anything else that he did over the season. So I enjoyed it.
Joey and Kym- Foxtrot (Judges' Score=29, My Score=9)- What a showstopper this routine was. Especially the last 15-20 seconds of it. My only issue was that his posture went awry about halfway through. Joey got it together, but it was his best to date by far. I loved it.
Latin Round
Laila and Maks- Samba (Judges' Score=30, My Score=10)-THAT'S WHAT I'M TALKING ABOUT! My girl did what? THAT! That samba was so so so so good. What I love about this dance is that you could totally tell that this dance did not come together until the moment she was supposed to perform for scores. But for it to come together like this was a miracle. She had the hips. She had the samba bounce. Her technique was amazing. She had grace and elegance. Her posture was top notch. It just came together flawlessly.
John and Edyta- Rumba (Judges' Score=22, My Score=7)- It was okay. If you take away the fact that there was virtually no hip action and the rumba chemistry was not there at all, the dance was cool. His technique has gotten a lot better and he gave a very competent performance. I'm glad John and Edyta got to go out on a high note like this.
Apolo and Karina- Mambo (Judges' Score=28, My Score=10)- I thought this was amazing. I have no notes about it. I can see what CAI and Len are talking about, but I didn't catch it in the moment.
Ian and Cheryl- Mambo (Judges' Score=27, My Score=9)- Yeah, this was a breakthrough week for Ian. He had so much fun and he let loose. We really saw him blossom. I still want him to work on his legs and his posture some more. Now that he has shifted his mindset, these corrections will take him over the edge.
Billy Ray and Karina- Samba (Judges' Score=21, My Score=6)- Whew. Everybody's so creative! I am so surprised that this didn't fly off the rails. It really could've at so many points. I liked it but not because it was good. I was wondering what was gonna happen next.
Joey and Kym- Jive (Judges' Score=30, My Score=10)- Perfection. One of my favorite jives of all time.
My Rankings and Scores Out of 60:
1 Laila and Maks- 59 (29 for quickstep, 30 for samba) = Joey and Kym- 59 (29 for foxtrot, 30 for jive) 3 Apolo and Julianne- 54 (26 for foxtrot, 28 for mambo) 4 Ian and Cheryl- 53 (26 for tango, 27 for mambo) 5 John and Edyta- 43 (22 for foxtrot, 21 for rumba) 6 Billy Ray and Karina- 36 (18 for both)
I really feel like everyone stepped up to the plate and really gave great performances (for themselves) this week. I thoroughly enjoyed everyone this week. John and Billy Ray were in the bottom 2 and it was appropriate. I would've liked to see John stay one more week, but I also know that regardless of who stayed this week, the other was going to go the following week. Let me know what you all thought and I will talk to you all soon.

I don't know if you need any recommendation but I just watched Karina Smirnoff and Corbin Bleu Smooth Criminal dance and I think it would be amazing in DWTSS!
Just watched it and DAMN! That was an amazing routine! Always in need of inspiration haha, if only you could see me when I’m trying to write all of the dance parts of the story😅 Pretty sure my YouTube “for you page” will never be the same lol.
You’re right, it would be amazing! Thanks for the tip!

He grew up in New Orleans East. He attended St. Augustine High School and Marion Abramson High School. His godfather and the assistant principal of Abramson advised him to transfer to that school. He was a letterman in football, basketball, and track. In basketball, he was an All-Metropolitan selection and an All-Area selection.

Corbin and Karina- Season 17
And we got another Karina partner. I told y'all that this lady knows what she's doing with her men in this particular style. It was choreographed perfectly. And the way that Corbin moved was so calm and chill, but so commanding and strong. It also had so much intentionality behind each movement. And yet he was so gentle and really connected to both sides in my opinion. This is another top 3 rumba for me.
And let me say this real quick. A large number of Karina's partners have all done great rumbas. The ones that I'm not gonna post (Jacoby, Mario Lopez, J.R.) were all great too, but just not on the level of the three I'm showing off.
