Last night the Top 9 took to the stage after a Top 10 week that was a little disappointing over all. But this week the majority of the Top 9 stepped up and delivered great performances. While some fell short of the emotional connection we (and the judges) might have been looking for, much of [...]

Last week, Cristina Santana was sent home, despite having a great performance with Pasha on performance night. We got a guest performance by Brian Gaynor on the Results show, and several dancers were challenged with the fact that they need to perform better if they want to stay. Tonight we open with one of those [...]

Last night , the top 10 hit our stage in a variety of styles. Billy Bell and Jose Ruiz got dealt styles they were completely unfamiliar with, while Ashley Galvan and Cristina Santana randomly selected styles that were a little closer to home.
Performances
The Top 10 open the show with a contemporary number choreographer by Sonya [...]

Last week we lost Alexie Agdepa, as our Top 10 turned into a Top 11. The contemporary dancer turned in a Hip-Hop performance that was only ‘ok’ by the judges standards, and didn’t do much more than ‘Dance Cute’. While the audience might vote for cute they didn’t vote for Alexie, and after a somewhat [...]

The Results show opens with the Top 11 Dancing to ‘Acapella’ by Kelis. It’s a nice enough high energy routine that runs longer than the group numbers usually do, with each of the Top 11 getting a chance to dance in the spotlight. There will be a lot packed into this results show, with multiple [...]

We’ve seen our Top 11 make their way through auditions and the Vegas callbacks to make it to the So You Think You Can Dance stage. Last week we got one more chance to see the dancers at their best, as each performed in their best style with members of the All-Stars. Now the hard [...]

So last night the Top 11 were set, with Billy Bell getting the special ‘11th’ spot because there were just too many good dancers to reduce it to a Top 10. I personally would have given that final spot to Anthony Burrell, but I’m not the one making the choices. Tonight, it’s a Showcase, as [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us, and Vegas week took us down from 122 contestants to just 24. Now those 24 have gone back home, and the judges, instead of calling them all back to Vegas as they normally would have done… will instead be going out to their homes to visit the contestants and [...]

Season 7 auditions blew past us almost faster than we could track. Thanks in part to the paucity of talent in Nashville we got our first look at Vegas week last week as the dancers were cut down from 122 to just 58. This week the cuts will come deeper as people we’ve grown attached [...]

The second stop on So You Think You Can Dance tonight is Nashville, the final audition city and last chance to qualify for the show before those dancers that make the cut move on to Vegas. No fooling around for us now, let’s go right to the auditions. Our judges for Nashville are Nigel Lythgoe, [...]

Tonight the So You Think You Can Dance auditions hit Dallas and Nashville and we’ll get at least a starting look at the Vegas finals.  It’s a whirlwind audition tour and then the cutting begins as the producers and judges work their way from the 122 dancers who made it to Las Vegas to the [...]

It’s been three years since SYTYCD went to Chicago for their auditions, but this year the tour hits the Second City to see what the dancers there will bring to the table.
Chicago – Day One
Joining Nigel and Adam this week is contemporary choreographer Stacey Tookey. If Sonia is a slightly odder Mia Michaels with cooler [...]
