Raida was known for his incorporation of body tricks into his beat juggles, and I’m sure he’s smiling in heaven at Shines’ performance. Shines, in particular, impressed with a unique variation of Total Eclipse’s “Rolling Fills.” However, there were some challenges in following the pocket of rhythm in her final juggle, which affected the score in the “technicality” category.

The rolling fills in the beginning were on point. When the behind the back juggles happened a little fader/timing stuff started happening. I appreciate the overall flow of the set.

Great presence and overall set. I really like the rolling fills in the beginning. The body tricks were great. I would have scored higher if the routine was a little cleaner.
