Hi it's Nony!
Here's some stuff from twop.com.
I was at the Entyce workshop this weekend with Tyce, Donyelle, Heidi, Benji, Natalie and also Chris Jones (a hip-hop dancer from You Got Served). Allison and Ivan were supposed to be there, but they said Alli is doing High School Musical 2 and Ivan also had some other commitment.
Anyway, they had a Q & A with the dancers and they were asked who their favorite judge was. They pretty much all had nice things to say about Nigel. They said even though his comments could seem harsh, they knew that Nigel was trying to give them constructive advice. Also, they said he was much sweeter off camera.
As for the workshops - Benji and Heidi taught a 'swing jazz' workshop. It was a dizzingly fast combo to a My Chemical Romance song. By they way, props to Benji for being a real trouper. His foot was in a cast, he had fallen and injured it while teaching a class a couple days ago. He could have easily dropped out of teaching the workshop, but he forged ahead - plus he even performed in the teachers' recital at the end of the day, with a swing routine that he carefully choreographed around his injury. And during the Q & A, he said he was trying to live up to his title of America's Favorite Dancer. Benji said he was taking even more classes now than he did before the show, to get even better and more versatile. That's why I voted for him - that kind of attitude, dedication and caring about the audience really impressed me and still does.
Natalie taught a contemp routine to a slow song and it was pretty. Chris Jones did hip-hop (and he's a fantastic dancer, by the way). Donyelle taught 'street jazz', it was hip-hop but with some jazz moves. She was absolutely the best teacher there. She broke down every move carefully and the class did very well keeping up. Tyce taught a Broadway routine to Christina Aguilera's 'Candyman'. Benji is dancing with Christina in the vid of that, as we know. But that vid was very retro 40's swing stuff - jive/lindy hop. Tyce's routine had a couple of jive kicks in it, but otherwise was more of a jazz/pop thing with a little urban feel, more like the kind of stuff you see in a typical music video. Donyelle took Tyce's class and he had her dance solo to it, she was great.

I found a bunch of videos of Travis, Ivan, Allison and the oh so pimped Jamie teaching and dancing at NYCDA this year. They're really good, so I thought I'd share.
Travis's Combo with Jamie assisting. Done to Sinking Feeling by Roisin Murphy and I'm obsessed with it.
Travis's Solo
Allison's Solo Amazing.
Travis, Allison and Jamie doing Travis's combo.
Allison and Ivan Hip Hop I can;t find them in the video, it's the combo they taught, with everyone on the floor.
Enjoy!
