Week 3 brought the Jive and Tango to the ballroom of Dancing With The Stars. This is how I saw week 3.

Sabrina and Mark

They had a great song that really sets the mood for the Jive and I thought they matched that energy tremendously. Sabrina is very fast with her feet and is a great performer. Outside of that I was not as impressed as I was the first week. She had trouble with the chassies. Her legs never made it together and she looked like she was laboring to complete some of the actions. I was also a bit disappointed with the choreography too. That routine was great the first time I saw Mark's mom and dad do it in the late 80's, just before Michael Jackson went completely off the reservation. It will be interesting to see how Sabrina does when she has to dance a slow dance.

Cameron and Edyta

Cameron is improving and has great potential, but this dance was not a very good Tango. It was a Tango according to the steps they danced, but it did not look like any Tango I have seen in my 20+ years of dancing. Cameron's saving grace may be that Wayne is still on the show.

Mark and Kym

Mark was better than I expected. He does a great job with the presentation and always looks like he is having fun. He needs to work on his footwork. He spends to much time on his heels. The other complaint I have with Mark is sometimes he makes some goofy faces.

Jennie and Derek

Jennie has a great look on the floor. She is graceful and has the the power to do all the dances. I think the Tango was the best dance for her so far. Her left side was down way to much and most of the quick changes were done with the arms not the body. But she should stay another week.

Mel B and Maksim

For me Mel was one of the top 2 from this week. She had great speed and ergy to go along with very nice use of her legs and feet. Most of all she looked relaxed and moved with ease.

Wayne and Cheryl

Where do I start. Wayne may be a great entertainer, but for me there was nothing entertaining about this Tango. It was like Abbott and Costello do Tango. Fortunately for Cameron, Wayne did the Tango this week.

Floyd and Karina

Floyd is improving every week. He has a great personality and rhythm and shows them on the dance floor. His greatest weakness as a dancer may be his greatest strength as a boxer. He keeps his upper body closed up instead of standing tall and wide. of course a boxer that stood tall and wide would get hit a lot. He needs to work on this the most.
