Paula Van Oppen Before SYTYCD
Another popular person from SYTYCD Season 5 that is back for SYTYCD season 6 is Paula Van Oppen. I remember there were a bunch of Paula fans that came on this site when Paula Van Oppen just missed making the SYTYCD top 20 in season 5. She has a nice fan following and for good reason. In case, you’re not sure who I’m talking about, in season 6 she’s the girl in yellow.
Time to take a look at some videos of Paula Van Oppen before being on SYTYCD.
This is a sweet little lyrical solo of Paula Van Oppen at 17 years old to the song Without You

Now for a performance from Paula Van Oppen at The Music Center Performing Arts Center Spotlight Awards in 2007 to the song Make Me Whole – Amel Larrieux
Also, you won’t want to miss this interview of Paula Van Oppen. Sadly, I can’t embed it here, but it’s worth going to YouTube to check it out. It even has a clip of Paula singing in a choir. She’s been all over the place. Commercials, singing, sports, pageants. It’s crazy.
Here’s another nice one that was pointed out in the comments:
There’s lots more that I could post of Paula Van Oppen, but this is a nice beginning.
In case you missed Paula Van Oppen on season 6, she’s the girl in yellow in this clip and before you ask, the song she danced to is: “Stay” by Katie Thompson
I just love seeing these snippets of the contestants! I enjoyed the “Without You” of Paula, but really, really enjoyed the dance she did with Marshea… http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3DuQgskDI1U&feature=player_embedded) their side by side work was so ON and looked so effortless. I am really looking forward to seeing her in the Top 20.
Thanks Lisa. That is nice. I added it to the post.
I think the itunes link for Without You is wrong. It doesn’t link to the same song as Paula dances to in the video. Do you know who sings the remake of the U2 song?
Paula is so flexible. I don’t know why she reminds me of Janette. It might be the hair. I’m wondering how she’ll do with faster dances.
The interview was really interesting. I’m hoping to see good things from her!
If you think that’s incredible. Watch this!

Not only is Paula in it, so is Kherington Payne! They were team mates at Dance Precisions in Placentia, CA. As was Nathan Tresoras.
Here is another one with Paula & Kherington for Dance Precisions, and a whole host of other incredible dancers at this studio that will be heading to SYTYCD as they also turn 18.
sandy,
Thanks for sharing those videos. They are nice. I would have liked to see some close ups and what not. I bet being there would be just fantastic.
