More Prep for Tour and Final Three Predictions

Getting ready for the tour is coming along very well. There are a lot of logistics to deal with before starting the actual choreography. With something of this magnitude, there is a lot of work to be done. Costumes might have to be altered depending on choreography. Everything has to be together. It is a lot of fun, but it is a lot of work too. The producers of the tour really wanted something different. Louis had been doing the show for the last three tours, and this is something I wanted to do and I want my choreography to be as different as possible. We have repeat viewers who have come to every tour. We're trying to turn a new page. It is an experience for me and something that I will take away for my future ventures.

All the dancers know each other. It isn't hard to be in charge, but sometimes it is so much easier to have people dislike you in order to get something done, rather than being everybody's friend and then have everything be a mess. I don't want to have my friendships used as a weakness. I will make sure they know where I'm coming from, that it is nothing personal, but it is the job I was given.

The number that you saw on the show won't be in the tour. Nothing against country music, but dancing to it is very difficult. It's not really Latin flavored. I am picking the entire score for the show, and since people come to see us do what we're capable of, I'll be picking songs that best showcase our talents and abilities.

As for the show, I'm not surprised about Maurice's exit. I think at this point everyone is kind of good enough to stay and it is sad to see them leave. It is shaping up how we thought it would all along. I think it's going to be Brooke and Warren and Lance in the finals. I think Cody is riding the Julianne wave. It is possible people are voting for her as much as they are for Cody. I think Brooke, Warren and Lance would be a perfect final.
