'Dancing With The Stars': Skai Jackson redeems herself with powerful Cha Cha performance in semifinals
'Dancing With The Stars' is nearing the end as the contestants take the dance floor for the semifinals round. With only six people left in the competition, things are getting intense. In the latest episode, which aired on November 16, all the cast members had to reperform a dance form that they had failed to impress with previously. At the same time, they would be given help from one of the judges who would guide them about how they could improve. For Skai Jackson and her dance partner Alan Bersten, Bruno Tonioli was appointed as the judge who would help them get better. Bruno decided to give Skai Cha Cha as the dance form as she had failed to deliver a good performance last time.
Her previous Cha Cha performance had turned out to be a nightmare because she forgot her steps. At the same time, her performance seemed all over the place, according to the judges. In the latest episode, Skai hoped to do things differently. Bruno gave her tips on how she could improve and make sure the dance could look better.
After taking all the advice, it was finally time for her to step on the dance floor and let the music take control. The judges were impressed with how much Skai had learned in a short period of time. Derek Hough pointed out that Skai looked more confident with her performance as compared to the last time. He applauded her for picking up on the mistakes and making sure they were not repeated. Derek was also impressed with her choice of dress. Bruno, on the other hand, seemed proud of everything Skai had learned and changed in her performance. He praised the way her legs moved to the music.
Carrie Ann Inaba also had similar views as she was in love with the way Skai moved to the music. She admitted there was a big change in her performance. The scores for this week also proved that Skai was coming out stronger with a powerful performance. She got all 9's, and that made her a total score of 27 out of 30.
Last time, Skai received a total score of 18, and with 27 in her bag this time, there is no doubt that she is more focused than ever.
'Dancing With The Stars' airs on Mondays at 8 pm ET on ABC.
