So in my last post I didn’t really talk about the team dances, I thought I better come back and do that.

Team Tango had a couple of advantages over Team Paso, unfortunately (or fortunately, however you see it).  The Paso team had 4 couples, Tango had 3.  Paso is mostly done out of hold, Tango in (this helps for synchronization).  The Paso pros decided to hash (and I mean HASH) things out with the stars in the room, the Tango pros handled the choreography beforehand and then taught it to the stars. Team Paso did a good job of making Team Tango look much more professional and a TEAM.

That said, the Paso didn’t turn out badly at all, it had real power, force and energy, everything a Paso Doble needs.  Plus, Mark redeemed himself from his individual dance earlier and Mya caught the judges eye.

But the Tango really came together and was spectacular, garnering better scores than the Paso.  Just goes to show that “leaving the egos at the door” really helps when being a professional artist, and I wholly support that school of thought.

Both teams, in the end, should be commended for undertaking a difficult task!
