Ryan and Ellenore perform a Contemporary piece by Travis Wall

Really incredible piece. I loved the song choice and the athleticism of the choreography. Travis really put them through the ringer physically and emotionally and they held up to the challenge. They both showed every ounce of their training in practically every movement. Travis continuously asked them to move through strenuous moments with fluidity and grace. I loved Travis' creativity in choreography. You could feel the underlying driving beat of the music pulsate through their emotional exploration of movement and storyline. Incredible.

I was expecting great choreography from Travis, but I wasn't expecting much from Ryan and Ellenore and they both surprised me. They will definitely be safe. Ryan surprised me in his ability to perform this style at such a high level of integrity. Ellenore is a powerhouse! Where did that come from? As a couple and as individuals, they needed this dance tonight. This performance, Travis' unexpected and demanding yet artistic choreography, helped them make a name for themselves. They definitely bounced back after last week's horrible hip hop "experiment."
