Ricky was weird looking, but a really beautiful mover. I think he deserved to stay for longer. The reasoning they gave for keeping the other guy - his personality - seriously, that doesn't get you far in the dance world. I've never once been asked to chat with someone at an audition - only dance. They don't want to hear you talk!!!
Benji's solo was...um...yeah...It's clear he's been taking other technique classes (he was lifting and kicking his leg way more than a swing dancer normally would), but I didn't get the dropping pants thing at the end - though it did make me laugh.
On that note, can I tell you how much I HATE this trend in hiking the leg up to the side and leaning over? It's not a true show of your extension because you are bent over and your hips are all out of alignment. Plus, I don't need to see anyone's crotch that much. I've never been in a legit technique class that included that. I think it's something they are doing at these suburban studios now and people think it's impressive? If you notice, none of the real choreographers ever put that in their pieces...Sorry, it drives me crazy...
