There were several great performances last night, and I'm really loving the new format which allows us to see women dancing together onstage without men, but my favorite routine last night was this piece danced by Megz and Edson:
Video Description: Megz, a young Latina hip hop dancer, and Edson, a young Latino contemporary dancer, perform a contemporary routine choreographed by Talia Favia and set to "You There" by Aquilo.

I was very relieved that Asaf was finally booted, especially considering his garbage routine with Kate, during the judging for which the judges didn't even mention that the choreographer had clearly taken out the lifts about which Kate expressed anxiety to Travis. The guy was dangerous because he wasn't good enough. I'm glad to see him go for the sake of the other dancers alone.
I was very sad to see Marissa go. I would have been sad no matter which of the three stage dancers it had been, to be honest. It's a really strong field this season.
