He had good hip action for not really  having to do that in skating. I especially liked Anna saying &#8220;skating  is so very different from dancing&#8221; and that she was worried about it. That  so needed to be said.<\/p>\n<p>Evan had excellent lines and great flow in those  lines during the rumba. His understands the music so well and could hit  positions like no other man in the competition. The song was faster than  the original which made the dance hard but Evan and Anna worked through  it. The main problem with this dance for Evan and Anna was lack of  connection, emotionally. Yes, it was there somewhat but it wasn&#8217;t the  romantic connection like I am use to seeing.<\/p>\n<p>I thought Evan, who scored 27, and  Nicole, who scored 29, basically tied for best dance. Its hard to compare as the Tango  and Rumba are two different dances. The worst dance tonight was Kate and  Tony, who also scored the lowest with the panel of judges once again.<\/p>\n<p>__________<\/p>\n<p><em>Figure Skaters Online strives to be an accurate source of  information related to the sport of figure skating.
