Jeanine and Jason – Travis Wall Choreography
Ahhh…. once again I am in awe and inspired! As Nigel says the only thing that exceeded the choreography by Travis Wall was the dancers who danced it….
The passion is obviously genuine and I enjoyed watching the tension build and maintains it’s strength with the final connection meeting with a kiss……. 
call me boogy eyed but that was LoVe! ^^
Contemporary dance to me is so powerful. We can convey a message with simple dynamics of movement, moving through the music and clever detail in every move. Every step breathes into another and combining Jeanine and Jason’s level of technique and ability to bound and control at any given moment leaves me begging for more. Travis did an amazing job but as complex as the choreography was, Jeanine and Jason made it appear effortless and light.
When you improvise and choreograph movement you put on a piece of music and you allow your body to ‘just move’. Use momentum and shifting of weight to dictate where the body goes but don’t force change in levels. Allow your body to rise and fall while your body becomes familiar with the music.
A way to replicate this fluidity is to allow the body to melt into the floor. Use your plie and maintain contact with the floor while you let one body part follow after another.
Jeanine has an obvious gift in her ability to maximise her extensions and lines…. they go on forever, never stopping before whipping back into circular movements and jumping turns with extended limbs, creating a whirlwind effect.
The whirlwind of love?
And Jason! She killin herself to be with him….. well what special lady wouldn’t?? He is a dream to watch. So strong and his gaze was intent on finding his way to her. Technique, BAM. Passion, BAM. Commitment, BAM. The quality of his allegro is BAM! He is a dancer with a natural ballon (spring). Brilliantly showcased in this SYTYCD masterpiece.
At the beginning of the show Debbie Allen spoke of how america should vote, not for the best dancer but for their favourite dancer, the one who is still on your mind long after they leave the stage…… Jason and Jeanine….. just beautiful.
