They're just having to try these new things as a ballerina and a Tap dancer.
They'll find a way to come Through.
that was really hard.

And you're a tapper.
It's just weird.
You know what that remind ed me Of a little bit? The mark and chelsea routine.

I'm right along with you.
What a way to get things started Tonight.

I love all the intricate, the Articulation you did through your hands throughout the entire Routine.
The big build-up.

Remember, there's now a "so you think you can dance" page on Itunes where you can download the tracks you hear on the show.
If you're enjoying the music we're featuring tonight, be sure To look it up.
Now, what is the most surprising Thing that marcquet has discovered about jourdan? Let's find out.
what america does not know About jourdan, she's always working out.
First look at jourdan, you think she's a dainty nice girl.
Plot twist.
I think she can bench press more Than I can.
so something you don't know About marcquet is that he is in a hip-hop crew.
Urban dance organization.
Are you the best hip-hop crew Ever? we got a lock on utah.
cat: Jourdan and marcquet have to grasp a dee caspary Routine.
they have to find the place Where they can be happy.
Connection is the most important Thing.
They have to trust each other Even when one is slipping away, that the other is holding on.
sometimes I think marcquet is a little uncomfortable getting Real close to me.
we're getting real close and Personal.
Get up in there.
I think we have to work on like comfort level with each Other.
cat: How are you, guys? Doing good? Okay.
Let's go to nigel first of all.
Nigel, what did you think? nigel: I think it was a good Routine.
I think you were challenged by Dee.
I think you're an interesting Couple.
Somehow I'm not personally Connects with either of you.
Marcquet, I'm not sure who you Are.
You've come as a ballroom Dancer.
You're reasonably good at that.
That's your subject.
But you're good at other things.
But in everything, there's a slight lack of discipline in Your work.
I found the bottom half of your Body on the lifts a little shaky, a little wobbly.
You don't seem to putting your knees over your toes which will Give you stronger balance.
Maybe misty can look at that.
misty: Yeah, I saw you, marcquet.
I didn't see you last week in your partnership.
I feel like jourdan stood out to me.
I saw you this time.
There's something that is Missing in your partnering where you need to have the weight over The balls of your feet so that you stay grounded and connected To the floor so your knows never come up.
But I saw you more this week.
I want to see more of that.
Jourdan, I think you have something that every dancer Wants.
You have the whole package with Your body.
You are strong, you have the Lines, you have the energy.
But I feel that your face needs To match what your body is doing.
We want the audience to feel the passion that you're giving to Your body.
Overall, there's an improvement.
nigel: That's what I'm seeing with jourdan, too.
Your technique is strong.
It was shown off by dee this Week.
But I still have this problem.
I don't know if there's a lack of vulnerability with you that Is not reaching out.
I can't put my finger on it.
Somehow, there's a disconnect for me.
cat: Okay.
Can I -- why do the knees have To be over the toes? Is it for balance so when he Lifts here? nigel: It's strength, using Your thighs, alignment.
It will just stop that -- Especially when you're picking up a weight, it will just stop That wobble that you get.
It's just solid.
thank you.
cat: Got it.
Mary? mary: First, I want to say The umbrella, the lighting, the very first stance was so magical Looking.
I agree with everybody, jourdan.
You're so strong.
Your line is so beautiful.
I'm still missing like this little bit of magic.
I can't put my finger on it, but I love the fact that you attack Everything that is given to you and you execute everything Amazingly well.
I just don't know what it is.
Marcquet, you have to be very careful.
You have to watch how you're shaping your foot -- when you Move from foot to foot.
You have to watch it.
That's where you're showing your lack of training.
Your connection for me as far as partnering and leading her from One step to the other is so unbelievable.
And the care that you give everything from one move to the Next when you're leading her is just out of this world.
cat: Absolutely.
Well, if you love marcquet or Jourdan, then vote for them.
There's two ways to do it.
Online at fox.
Com/dance or by using the fox now app.
Just gorgeous movements.
Let's hear it for jourdan and Marcquet, everybody.

First, we're checking out your Moves.
We partnered with the vyclone App so you can dance with one of our stars.
You'll see in a minute.

cat: Welcome back to the show.
By the end of tonight, only 16 dancers will have a chance of Winning the title as the judges have to cut one guy and one girl From the competition.
Don't do it, mary! Don't do it! Boo! [booing.]
after losing their partners in Last week's elimination, jessica and stanley teamed up as a new Couple.
After seven days together, what Do they know about each other? Take a look.
one thing about mr.
Glover over here, he's also an aspiring Male model.
what america doesn't know About jessica is that she likes to surf.
She should stick to dancing.
what does that mean? I try, guys.
I try.
cat: Taking the new couple on a journey is tyce diorio.
for this jazz piece, they're on a wild funky magic carpet Ride.
They are in their world.
They need to splash and slay this.
the carpet isn't moving.
So me and jessica have to show In our body that we're like floating.
Create this reality.
I definitely feel if we don't Convey we're flying, it was look static.
I forgot.
always fingers crossed.
Different story clean up your act, your Means, but I like it! Misty what did you think? misty: Jessica, you can move! And your body does so much.
I feel like I'm bringing this up a lot.
The face is so important as a dancer.
It's not just about your body, it's about your face.
Both of you together, stanley as well, you tend to overdo it a Little bit with the face.
Your body is doing enough.
You can take it down a little bit.
Stanley, when you're jumping, leaping, at your most extended Position, that's when you shine.
You have to carry that Throughout the entire routine.
And I think jessica, be aware of Your eyes.
You already have this cool Androgynous look.
If you get bugged out, it's a Lot to take in.
So be aware of your faces.
okay.
cat: Mary, what did you Think? mary: Yeah, I loved the whole Piece.
Stanley, you have these moments Of absolute brilliance.
The one like -- we know you can Catch air.
I've already told you, as high As I've ever seen on "so you think you can dance" history.
But that leap -- wow! He went for it.
You dove right down into that.
You know that carpet is not Soft.
I can tell you right now.
I can see it from here.
But no fear of like I'm going to Injure myself.
You went full tilt.
Jessica, you have outer beauty, inner beauty.
It's coming out of the eyes.
I love it.
You have a strong foundation in your dancing.
You don't need the oversell.
You have it.
You're riding that wave, girl! Riding it! What can I say? You're riding the magic carpet! cat: Nigel? nigel: Great to have tyce Diorio back this season.
Tyce, welcome back! [cheers & applause.]
I'm giving the same notes that I Gave last week really, which is I'm agreeing with everyone.
Jessica, you stole myea when you danced for your life in Vegas.
The first routine that you did Live with ricky is one of the best I've seen.

I worry about this overreaction With the face.
Be careful.
You don't need it.
You're talented.
I love watching you dance.
Stanley.
Somehow you seem to have rockets that fly out of your body.
It's through your arms and legs.

There was more energy, but I did see a technique face in there a Couple of times when you were doing things that you're not Comfortable with.
Doing a turn.

what you might not know about Valerie, she is strangely obsessed with pigs.
She owns over 200 pig stuffed animals.
It's weird.
Sometimes in rehearsals she Snorts at me.
I think she wants to be a pig Bad.
that's exaggerated.

weird.
what america doesn't know about ricky, in high school he Was mascot.
The barracuda.
I was.
can you show me a barracuda Impression? Okay.
cat: Their choreographer this week is season 3's lacey Schwimmer.
the viennese waltz is one of The oldest ballroom dances.
It's pretty, fluid and romantic.
It's all about the body connection.
Having insane difficulty getting their bodies together.
when she wrapped us in the tape, I was afraid of what would Happen next.
I've been taped to a tree one Time but not another person.
these two are super talented And they'll work super hard.
If not, I'll hurt them.
cat: You're absolutely gorgeous.
You look like I want to eat you you're so gorgeous.

Mary murphy could get teary any moment.

It's been since season three since she stole our hearts.
She was amazing that season.
But you know, she got swept away And has been with "dancing with the stars" ever since.
That's why she's not been back.
She's working all the time.
The greatest thing for all of our dancers, to have work.
Now, on to the two of you.
That whole beginning was Dream-like.
It was magical.
Ricky, I'm so proud of you.
Your top line was so amazing in That whole first half of that.
If you get the viennese waltz Again or any smooth dance, you'll have to work on that leg Action.
It's not quite right.
nigel: There goes the alcohol.
misty: She'seally passionate.
cat: Lady gaga once threw a shoe.
mary: After one, two, three, you take the back step, it's Falling to the side and really dropping hard.
You've got to work on that.
Smooth that out.
Oh, my gosh, valerie.
Sometimes you're just so Beautiful out there.
You are -- the feeling when you Came around the one lift on the floor, you just -- the feeling.
It was so perfect actually.
You have an inner beauty that is Pouring out of you.
You have to watch your top line From time to time.
That top -- you're sinkg the Left lat muscle.
Pick it up and use your core to Put your head in position instead of -- okay.
cat: Good job.
Nigel? nigel: I have nothing to say About your technique.
Your performance I will talk About.
That was beyond reproach.
Absolutely fabulous.
[applause.]
Ricky, you are a suburb dancer.
You're a level above the general Dancers that we work with.
You really are.
But I have to say that tonight my darling, you look like Cinderella in a ball gown.
[applause.]
And you came up to ricky's standard and a lot to do with The breathing.
The way you felt it, the way you Breathed in, the way you held him.
It was magnificent.
You have grown in my estimation, And it's so nice to see you in a dress.
You look beautiful.
cat: Okay.
Misty, really quickly.
misty: Valerie, you're a Princess.
Tonight is your night.

Carly and serge are up after the break.
cat: Welcome back to "so you think you can dance.
" Time to find out what we really need to know about serge.
he thinks he's a big deal.
But what you don't know at home, He was a professional ballroom dancer, which is a big deal.
Max and val from "dancing with the stars.
" they're like the brothers I never had.
Maybe I'll be as cool as them one day.
you will.
what you guys don't know About carly, when she decided to go to college and grow and find Herself, she joined a dance team.
They're really good.
we are pretty good.
we won the gold medal.
cat: The couple's task is a Luther brown hip-hop routine.
you're going to interview for My world.
our biggest challenge is Creeping.
carly is a beast.
I was like impressed.
Like what? Carly? What? serge is struggling a little bit.
I have to find the sweet spot.
A creepy gangster.
serge and carly need to bring out a beastiest performance "so You think you can dance" has ever seen.
Of blood to terrorize your neighborhood.
Nigel, what did you think? nigel: I tell you what, this Is a tough one for me.
I know how hard you both worked.
I know how much work luther put into it as well.
It's a difficult routine to critique.
I'm not sure that it's going to drive people to sort of go to Their devices and vote for you.
That is a shame.
cat: Why why? [booing.]
nigel: I'm not sure why I'm Being booed.
I haven't said it was bad.
I didn't say they were bad.
You felt like booing.
Get it out of your system, everyone.
Thank you.
Thanks, dad.
It's a tough one because, you know, I don't think people Necessarily realize how much work goes into these routines And how changing style in order to try to get this together.
It was tough.
It's a tough routine to pick up This style and make something of it that is driving people to Vote.
That's the idea of the program.
You're driving people to go, I got to vote for them.
Otherwise they'll find themselves in the bottom six.
cat: Misty, what did you think? misty: I somewhat disagree.
[cheers & applause.]
cat: Everybody has an opinion.
misty: It's important to educate our audiences and let Them know how difficult it is to switch genres.
Serge, you just continue to impress me.
I think you are embodying what it is to be a dancer and you're Just living in the moment.
Carly, this is -- this was Your -- this is great tonight.
The way that you let your -- you Were a skeleton.
The way you left your head in One left and your shoulders move.
You completely grasped and understood the character.
I loved it.
I love this generation.
I love hip-hop.
cat: Mary? mary: I'm right there with you, sister.
I loved it, too.
Carly, you were a beast in There.
Luther was right.

Jacque.

I'm struggling so bad.
they're contrasting styles.
Slow movement and then fast.
I put a soft section in just to Test the rhythm.
he was like the last shuffle.
I was like -- drop step.
showing that rhythm is an Important part of being a broadway dancer.
If they can pull this off, it will be a show-stopper.
broadway, this is for you, baby! cat: I thought you guys were going to get on each other's Lap.
[cheers & applause.]
I seriously thought you were going to land on the front row.
Let's go to misty.
What do you through? misty: Rudy, this was you.
This was you.
I think that the both of you danced in perfect unison, but Yet you were individuals, which is important that you don't lose Your identity.
You were completely feminine, Tanisha.
Rudy, you're so fabulous.
You guys both embodied everything that you needed to be In this piece and in the moment.
Tanisha, when you're doing You're pirouettes, you have to press down to the ball of your Foot and the energy out to the top of your head.
I know it's difficult to do that in heels.

Not bad.

They're just having to try these new things as a ballerina and a Tap dancer.
They'll find a way to come Through.

I'm right along with you.
What a way to get things started Tonight.

Take a look.
we're going to teach you a move called the top rock.
you bring your weight back.

Remember, there's now a "so you think you can dance" page on Itunes where you can download the tracks you hear on the show.
If you're enjoying the music we're featuring tonight, be sure To look it up.
Now, what is the most surprising Thing that marcquet has discovered about jourdan? Let's find out.
what america does not know About jourdan, she's always working out.
First look at jourdan, you think she's a dainty nice girl.
Plot twist.
I think she can bench press more Than I can.
so something you don't know About marcquet is that he is in a hip-hop crew.
Urban dance organization.
Are you the best hip-hop crew Ever? we got a lock on utah.
cat: Jourdan and marcquet have to grasp a dee caspary Routine.
they have to find the place Where they can be happy.
Connection is the most important Thing.
They have to trust each other Even when one is slipping away, that the other is holding on.
sometimes I think marcquet is a little uncomfortable getting Real close to me.
we're getting real close and Personal.
Get up in there.
I think we have to work on like comfort level with each Other.
cat: How are you, guys? Doing good? Okay.
Let's go to nigel first of all.
Nigel, what did you think? nigel: I think it was a good Routine.
I think you were challenged by Dee.
I think you're an interesting Couple.
Somehow I'm not personally Connects with either of you.
Marcquet, I'm not sure who you Are.
You've come as a ballroom Dancer.
You're reasonably good at that.
That's your subject.
But you're good at other things.
But in everything, there's a slight lack of discipline in Your work.
I found the bottom half of your Body on the lifts a little shaky, a little wobbly.
You don't seem to putting your knees over your toes which will Give you stronger balance.
Maybe misty can look at that.
misty: Yeah, I saw you, marcquet.
I didn't see you last week in your partnership.
I feel like jourdan stood out to me.
I saw you this time.
There's something that is Missing in your partnering where you need to have the weight over The balls of your feet so that you stay grounded and connected To the floor so your knows never come up.
But I saw you more this week.
I want to see more of that.
Jourdan, I think you have something that every dancer Wants.
You have the whole package with Your body.
You are strong, you have the Lines, you have the energy.
But I feel that your face needs To match what your body is doing.
We want the audience to feel the passion that you're giving to Your body.
Overall, there's an improvement.
nigel: That's what I'm seeing with jourdan, too.
Your technique is strong.
It was shown off by dee this Week.
But I still have this problem.
I don't know if there's a lack of vulnerability with you that Is not reaching out.
I can't put my finger on it.
Somehow, there's a disconnect for me.
cat: Okay.
Can I -- why do the knees have To be over the toes? Is it for balance so when he Lifts here? nigel: It's strength, using Your thighs, alignment.
It will just stop that -- Especially when you're picking up a weight, it will just stop That wobble that you get.
It's just solid.
thank you.
cat: Got it.
Mary? mary: First, I want to say The umbrella, the lighting, the very first stance was so magical Looking.
I agree with everybody, jourdan.
You're so strong.
Your line is so beautiful.
I'm still missing like this little bit of magic.
I can't put my finger on it, but I love the fact that you attack Everything that is given to you and you execute everything Amazingly well.
I just don't know what it is.
Marcquet, you have to be very careful.
You have to watch how you're shaping your foot -- when you Move from foot to foot.
You have to watch it.
That's where you're showing your lack of training.
Your connection for me as far as partnering and leading her from One step to the other is so unbelievable.
And the care that you give everything from one move to the Next when you're leading her is just out of this world.
cat: Absolutely.
Well, if you love marcquet or Jourdan, then vote for them.
There's two ways to do it.
Online at fox.
Com/dance or by using the fox now app.
Just gorgeous movements.
Let's hear it for jourdan and Marcquet, everybody.
[applause.]
After the break, we'll be checking in with jessica and Stanley.
First, we're checking out your Moves.
We partnered with the vyclone App so you can dance with one of our stars.
You'll see in a minute.
First, let's see some of the Moves you submitted to vyclone this week.
cat: Welcome back to the show.
By the end of tonight, only 16 dancers will have a chance of Winning the title as the judges have to cut one guy and one girl From the competition.
Don't do it, mary! Don't do it! Boo! [booing.]
after losing their partners in Last week's elimination, jessica and stanley teamed up as a new Couple.
After seven days together, what Do they know about each other? Take a look.
one thing about mr.
Glover over here, he's also an aspiring Male model.
what america doesn't know About jessica is that she likes to surf.
She should stick to dancing.
what does that mean? I try, guys.
I try.
cat: Taking the new couple on a journey is tyce diorio.
for this jazz piece, they're on a wild funky magic carpet Ride.
They are in their world.
They need to splash and slay this.
the carpet isn't moving.
So me and jessica have to show In our body that we're like floating.
Create this reality.
I definitely feel if we don't Convey we're flying, it was look static.
I forgot.
always fingers crossed.
Different story clean up your act, your Means, but I like it! Misty what did you think? misty: Jessica, you can move! And your body does so much.
I feel like I'm bringing this up a lot.
The face is so important as a dancer.
It's not just about your body, it's about your face.
Both of you together, stanley as well, you tend to overdo it a Little bit with the face.
Your body is doing enough.

But what you don't know at home, He was a professional ballroom dancer, which is a big deal.
Max and val from "dancing with the stars.
" they're like the brothers I never had.
Maybe I'll be as cool as them one day.

Nigel, what did you think? nigel: I tell you what, this Is a tough one for me.
I know how hard you both worked.
I know how much work luther put into it as well.
It's a difficult routine to critique.

I haven't said it was bad.
I didn't say they were bad.
You felt like booing.
Get it out of your system, everyone.
Thank you.
Thanks, dad.
It's a tough one because, you know, I don't think people Necessarily realize how much work goes into these routines And how changing style in order to try to get this together.
It was tough.
It's a tough routine to pick up This style and make something of it that is driving people to Vote.
That's the idea of the program.
You're driving people to go, I got to vote for them.
Otherwise they'll find themselves in the bottom six.
cat: Misty, what did you think? misty: I somewhat disagree.

You were completely feminine, Tanisha.
Rudy, you're so fabulous.
You guys both embodied everything that you needed to be In this piece and in the moment.
