Brodie Kane and Enrique Johns dance a tango. If anything, it’s a reminder of how much fun Sonia would’ve been on the show, but I’ve said that enough for one season! And look, this is just great TV, regardless of how good the dancing is. The judges seemed to like it, which is a reminder that they are the experts, and I am the one referencing a Claire Danes vehicle from the 90s.īut also: The triumphant return of Sonia Gray, filling this pair out to a trio for a dance to Earth, Wind and Fire’s ‘September’. This song was fine, but felt a little bit low energy, which runs counter to the vibe of the song, I thought. If you can listen to this song and not think of the scene in My So-Called Life where Ricky and Delia dance to this, you are… probably younger than I am.
