In the semifinals, do a choreography about the father-son relationship revolution was obvious to Jordan and Santiago. Their number rose by more than one on Sunday.
Jordan’s father died of cancer when he was 11 years old. “I started dancing after the loss of my father and doing choreography about what we experienced was a way to close the act,” he explained. It allowed me to come to terms with my grief and make peace with everything. It’s a very personal event, but it also touches and concerns many people.” To make their number clear and understandable, the duo used the song Mélancolie by Patrick Watson. “We decided not to rely on sadness,” Santiago said. We wanted to focus on the beautiful father-son moments. We really wanted to show the love between Jordan and his father, more than the illness. Especially since his partner confirms that his father never complained and that he always tried to show his family the positive side of life.

Aside from a place in the final, the duo feel they have learned a lot during their experience at Révolution. “We have strengthened our friendship and the communication between us,” Jordan said. We have further developed our way of working and our own dance style. We started as amateurs and will emerge as professionals.
