As soon as the footwork began, she changed, and from what I hear in my clip, the crowd and commentators changed too (from pindrop silence to a roar/gush), like they were just waiting for the exciting part.
On the other side, I think that's exactly what the choreography intended. The tension of the program kept build until the big ending. I think it's the typical theatric/drama choreography. No?
