I never get tired of watching this dance. To me, he looked a pro -- watch how FAST they are doing all those very physical dance steps and intricate movements. He is a thing of beauty to watch.
I didn't really know who Riker was before DWTS (I only knew of his brother Ross because of him being a Disney Channel star). But after DWTS, I became like Riker's biggest fan!!!!! He's such a great dancer, SO MUCH fun to watch, and he's just SO cool!!!!!
Allison Is A BEAST of a Dancer. Super Strong!! I do agree with Some of the judges the pure Samba technique wasn't great but honestly most of the audience at home DO NOT CARE if his technique was perfect. We just want to see a entertaining & awesome routine and Riker/Allison delivered
+StrawDinesExtract Her latin/ballroom technique isn't good at all. I don't enjoy her dancing. She isn't elegant like other female pros. She moves frantically.
Riker and Allison are one of my favorite pairs. Riker could keep up with Allison in every way and Allison did not let up on the difficulty or entertainment factor. We never needed to wonder if Riker would improve if he was gonna mess up. We could just sit back and enjoy the show. Wish more couples like this were on DWTS
I feel like they were underscored in more than one occasion throughout this season. Riker didn't win because he was before his time w/ DWTS. Allison isn't trained in ballroom as much as she is in Contemporary. Her choreography was very fun and upbeat and the judges (mostly Len) didn't appreciate it as much as they should've.
the judges saying his technique was off makes sense but honestly he has so much swag that it's just so much fun to watch like he adds his own flair and it's so entertaining
May well be the best male dancer who didn't win. I know Julianne Hough liked James Hinchcliffe better, but when Riker hit the top of his form, no one was better. Allison didn't hold back on the choreography, either. Riker's just incredibly talented. He deserves to be on Broadway.
I didn't know u could dance Riker omg I mean I knew u could sing and that you had the bad rock boy attitude thing going on but this takes it to a whole new level
Allison is not a trained ballroom dancer, you can tell by her form when she dances since is mostly a jazz/contemporary dancer in sytycd...but i can only admire for her effort. I remembered both her tangos with ivan where in yer shoulders are doing same thing here
