The tots mostly handle it well!

Sophia also gets a little help from her godmother andDWTSalumKim Kardashian.
The samba routine is just okay.
The biggest obstacle here is the lifts.
Adam apparently felt it he has chills.
Val thinks what Mackenzie is doing is extraordinary.
And Mandy, Queen of Contemporary, was very pleased with the light, feathery routine.
Brandon gives Ariana a PROP in a SAMBA and this girl doesn’t miss a beat.
Prop work is hard!
As Mandy points out, Brandon’s choreography in this cute hula-based routine is on point.
It captures both the spirit of the samba and the spirit of the movie.
Adam is just in love with her consistently well-done performances.
He’s portraying an arrogant mariachi player and he needs to sell the character.
Mandy is happy to see that Mandla really worked on his legs and footwork this weekshe can see improvement.
Val, however, is underwhelmed.
He makes it look so easy whenever he gets on the dance floor.
He commands the stage whether interpreting the character or doing some traditional Charleston moves.
“A lesser dancer would’ve been lost,” Mandy tells Miles.
She’s a fan.
How can you not be?
And let’s be honest, she’s gotten by mostly on personality.
A true Disney princess transformation!
Alan uses Sky’s gymnastic skills to their advantage and this contemporary is full of tricks.
But also with emotion!
It’s a perfect match!
And he handles the tricky foxtrot choreography well to boot (get it?).
Mandy points out that he tackled the quick-quick-slow nature of the style well.
Val too is impressed with the footwork.
He’s definitely not the best technical dancer, but he shows improvement each week.
Hercules is known for his strength and muscles and Akash is, well, not.
He has a lot of work to do to embody the character.
I wish), but it’s hard not to enjoy Akash and Kamri dancing together.
I mean, they aren’t wrong.
And it very much dooms our eliminated couple: FromTeam Sasha, Sophia and Jake.
