Song: A Dream is a Wish Your Heart Makes

Sammi: The Cinderella theme is so sweet. She is seriously the cutest thing ever. As for the dance, it is beautiful and by far, her best one of the  season. However, why did they add the other dancers? There was no need for them…it took away from her dance.

Len: He wanted more hold, but thinks she is here to stay.

Bruno: They are elegant and he appreciates her applying herself.

Carrie Ann: She was truly in character and is blossoming.

Claim to Fame: The Office

Pro: Pasha Pashkov

Dance: Jazz

Song: A Spoonful of Sugar Helps The Medicine Go Down

Sammi:. She is such a cute Mary Poppins. She does a good job with the jazz and for once the extra dancers work. I have to say, she is the happiest person on the show this season, other than Sean Spicer. 

Carrie Ann: She loved it so much she…..fell out of her chair? 

Len: It was a sweet and delicious routine.

Bruno: He loves how she added her own personality to the character and made it work.

Pro: Lindsay Arnold

Dance: Quickstep

Song: You’ve Got A Friend In Me 

Sammi: He is making me cry talking about his Disney memories with his late dad. Seeing the picture has me sobbing. The dance is so fun and shows off his personality. The technique still needs some work, but what he lacks in that he makes up for in spirit and heart. However, there is a ton of improvement. 

Len: He has a friend in Len…and is improving. 

Bruno: It was better and he can see the effort.

Carrie Ann: That was his best dance and she is proud of him.

Claim to Fame: American Idol/Country singer 

Pro: Gleb Savchenko 

Dance: Samba

Song: Under The Sea

Sammi: I feel like it took too long to get it started because of all the messing about in the beginning. The extra dancers also made it way too distracting. However, her smile made the whole routine worthwhile. I feel so bad she had a wardrobe malfunction though.

Carrie Ann: She is growing and moving forward.

Len: He didn’t like the messing about, but liked her samba content. 

Bruno: He tells her places to improve, but overall, he enjoyed it.

Scores: 8-7-8=23 out of 30

Contestant: Kel Mitchell

Dance: 

Song: We’re All In This Together

Sammi: This is by far his best dance ever. I love how he seems to be coming into his own and really seems to be taking this seriously without losing that personality. I know I said that last week, but it bears repeating and this just had me smiling the entire time. LOVED every moment. On another note, I wonder if I can still do that cheerleading move? 

Len: This dance suited him.

Bruno: He is a revelation.

Carrie Ann: He led that like the champ he is.
