TARUA HALL: Five, six, seven, and click and click and twist,
twist, twist.
Reach, reach, reach, and twist and twist.
And plie up, down, go, and click.
My dance this week is with Ally, and she's the magician
and I'm the assistant.
And then I turn into a bird.
[squawks]
[laughs]
And of course Ally's dancing with the JoJo circus.
Ally, you play the man.
JoJo, you can be the beautiful little girl
who turns into a bird.
All right, come on.
Show me what you've got.
[music playing]
Cute little adorable blonde perfect dancer
assistant needs to straighten her legs on her chaine turns.
Now you, you're kind of boring.
OK.
As soon as you do a more difficult turn, nothing.
Nothing here, nothing here.
ALLY: Just have to keep my face up because I just drop it,
and that's something that's a struggle for me.
See ya.
Please welcome Ally and JoJo to the stage.
[applause]
[music playing]
Great job, it was magical.
[applause]
JoJo, I need actually more sass from you in this costume.
For me, you kept the same emotion,
in my opinion, the entire time.
ABBY LEE: You're a bird.
You're supposed to fly.
That grand jete barely got off the ground.
You need wings.
Now Ally, you know, whenever you're doing specific moves,
make them specific and clear.
When you're supposed to throw the focus, throw the focus,
but that doesn't mean you get to rest.
It's time to step it up.
You know, I feel like when you think of Vegas,
you think about the fantasy world that you can go to.
It felt like you were really concentrating
and so much so that I didn't even get
to know you as this character.
There was no fantasy about you.
ABBY LEE: This was flexibility.
Whatever the costume is, whatever the look is,
whatever the character you're portraying is,
people need to be drawn to you.
You started the choreography.
It was all about you.
The minute you went behind your assistant,
I couldn't take my eyes off of her.
Thank you, judges.
ABBY LEE: I'm worried about JoJo.
Yeah.
The magic--
JoJo is not herself.
She is not herself.
Uh uh.
Duet was weak.
Should she go home tonight?
Is she on the chopping block?
For me, she is.
JoJo, the grand jete over here was horrible.
You're a bird.
You're supposed to fly.
We would like to see you earn your wings.
So go ahead and fly back over there to the perch.
