I LOVE HAVING A FELLOW NERD HERE 😂♥️ I feel like they limited the different styles of ballet technique to give a more cohesive look (Korean platforms are MAD sensitive to having CLEAN dances on their shows) so I see why we only see the more popularized ones. I bet you we will be getting a “partnering” challenge in the future. This is the perfect show to do it on and I will be LIVING for it all!!!! Can’t wait to see what they choose to do with contemporary and learning about Korean Dance!! WOOHOO!! NERDS UNITE

This was fun! Crazy exhausting format though. It was all male variation bread and butter stuff back to back. I saw a mixture of Cecchetti, English, and Russian/Vaganova style training. The ballet nerd in me would have love to have seen someone with Bournonville training just so I could see some crazy petite allegro. I didn't see any Balanchine style dancers either which would have been fun because it would have different arms, different musicality and maybe changing spotting direction during turns. I'm getting greedy because I want all the things!
Our fav from group A was my overall winner. He felt very stable the whole way through. I did spot a couple that didn't stand out in this format that I have a hunch are excellent at partnering. We probably won't see that much in this show but I am curious. I also think our a la seconde master at the end would have a beautiful adagio.

love love love this! Ah this show is everything I wanted to see from a dance show. I think ballet was always my first love when it came to dance and I've recently been getting into watching more ballet related videos so this is a perfect show for me right now. Also trying to come up with the courage to go back to taking ballet clases >.<
Im interested to see how the show moves forward and am hoping they do another season with our lady dancers.
Oh and I saw a tweet listing out all the judges and their credentials for the show and they seem like a very highly experienced group. I'll try to find the list if you want to take a look unless you're just waiting for the ep 1 to see who they are.
