Spoiler: Power to Team Australia

Australia fared well in the second episode of NBC’s Superstars of Dance.

The Australian Dance Theatre opened the show with a loose ballet set to the song “Power to the People.”

Dressed barefeet in jackets and pants, the members of the company tumbled, rolled and leapt over one another.

One review said: “They are very skilled and do a lot of interesting combo movements – spins to floor rolls to flips and other odd bits. However, after the first third of their performance, it started looking more like Capoeira (which actually would’ve been really cool to see on the show). Not to say it wasn’t difficult choreography to pull, just saying there was a little too much roll/jump-spin/roll/kick/roll/spin/roll. It was like someone button-mashing on a dance game.”

Of soloist Reed Luplau the reviewer said: “Reed’s opting for a more rock-flavored number this week. He seems more alive dancing to this music than the touchy-feely stuff from last week.”

The group number scored 62 points for the number and finished second overall with a score of 355 (behind the USA on 363).

South Africa was third with 346.
