His personality shone through, especially with his declaration of preferring hairstyling to sports – a relatable and endearing moment that further endeared him to the audience of Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition.

Jazz Funk with a Michael Jackson Twist: The jazz funk routine featuring Elizabeth, Hadley, and Asia was a bizarre yet entertaining mix.

Elizabeth held her own, but the judges critiqued Asia for lacking energy – a harsh comment considering her age and the demanding choreography. Despite the mixed feedback, this piece, like all the choreography this week, demonstrated an improvement over the previous episode, keeping viewers engaged with the evolving dance quality in Abby’s Ultimate Dance Competition.
