Gustavo Vargas Comes to SYTYCD

Gustavo Vargas is an amazing dancer, choreographer and actor, who played a salsa dancer in the movie “Along came Polly”. He choreographed a number of routines on SYTYCD Canada and recently debuted as a choreographer on SYTYCD USA Season 6.

In So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 2 Gustavo choreographed:

  • Mambo for Cody & Melanie in the Top 16 show
  • Cha Cha for Vincent & Amy in the Top 14 Show
  • Sexy Mambo for Jayme Rae & Everett in the Top 8 Show
  • Salsa for Vincent & Tara-Jean (who won the season) in the Top 6 Show
  • His Salsa Dance for Mollee and Nathan in Top 16 didn’t fair well as Mollee and Nathan received a lot of critiques from the judges and though the dancers chemistry and technique were off, Gustavo’s choreography was fantastic.

    Nigel identified the good things in Guastavo’s routine and Mary pointed out how Gustavo is known as “suavo” for being suave and that Nathan lacked that emotion in the routine.

    Nonetheless Nathan felt “HOT” and I personally enjoyed the routine.

    I look forward to see more Gustavo on SYTYCD.

    So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 2 – Top 4

    It feels like this season flew by.

    I apologize for my lack of posts and power rankings last week but I was unable to post, despite having watched and taken notes for a post – I just didn’t get time. I can say I was shocked Melanie Mah went home, as she was a fave from day one for me and I was not surprised Emmanuel went home, as I felt he had gone as far as he could and should have gone home the week previously instead of Cody.

    That being said – let’s focus on our Top 4 – – – wow!

    There is so much chatter from the judges that the girls are the stars and that a female will win it, I can’t help but wonder if this is suggestive from the judges to try and make it a female since Nico won last year…. maybe I am just a conspiracy theorist…. but I think the men are equally talented as the women and it will be a tough season finale to watch.

    I loved seeing the 4 dance together, then the 2 males and 2 females. Plus couples dances and solo’s made an action-packed evening.

    We had some awesome judges (yes I am biased-ly in love with Blake McGrath & his blue jacket!)

    Leah looked less “wind-tunnelled” (yes, that is as close to a compliment as she gets…. she is too young to have a face that looks it’s had plastic surgery)

    Top 4
    Melanie LaPatin and Tony Meredith.
    Cabaret

    Sexy, Hot, Loved the entire thing to bits!

    Top 2 Men
    Show-Tyme
    Hip Hop

    This was so fast, I really enjoyed it, I thought Everett picked it up better, perhaps from his tap skills?

    Tara-Jean & Everett
    Sean Cheeseman
    Jazz

    This was so moving, it made me love these two most of the top 4… powerful, emotional, despite a tumble…Best / Fave Routine of the Night

    Top 2 Women
    Melanie LaPatin and Tony Meredith.
    Mambo

    This was good, Jayme Rae outshone Tara-Jean (in my opinion) but the “salt & pepper spice” comment by Blake and the mini-lap-dances from the girls to the judges was cute & fun.

    Jayme Rae & Vincent
    Stacey Tookey
    Contemporary

    This was an awesome routine also – my 2nd fave of the night I think… though at Top 4 they are all amazing aren’t they?

    Tara-Jean & Vincent
    Maria Torres
    Hustle

    Her dress was stunning and they moved so well together, it was entertaining and awesome

    Jayme Rae & Everett
    Kelly Lannan & Eric Caty
    Samba

    Everett is such a showman and Jayme Rae has such an appeal – I just love watching these 2 dance. Look at this photo – what an ending!!!

    Solo’s

    Jayme Rae – She became a fave early on and has remained strong. I find her entertaining and alluring and I think people will vote for her. If she wins, Canada will have voted well.

    Tara-Jean – Pretty and quiet, she never stood out for me, I often predicted she’d go home but she is still here and she always shows us why. Her solo was full of flips and jumps that impressed me.

    Vincent – His solo’s are always amazing. Although I wasn’t a huge fan in the start and even thought he’d go home earlier on, he seems like an easy win based on his following.

    Everett – His tapping just captivates me. He is the underdog in my opinion, but if he won it I’d be happily pleased. He is like the Evan of SYTYCD last season in my books.

    My Picks

    I’d like to see Everett or Jayme Rae take it… but I feel like Vincent or tara-Jean might. I know I am copping out of predictions… I jsut think they are all so wonderful.

    SYTYCD Top 6 Choreography Critiques

    Top 6 already??  Seriously?  I don’t know how it happened.

    Mary Murphy as guest judge- this should be interesting, at least it will give the judges some more energy while doing the judging.

    Vincent/Tara Jean
    Salsa

    This piece was great.  I think that Tara Jean was the star of that piece, but that might be because she was wearing very little and managed to land some amazing lifts.  On the other hand- Vincent was terrific as well.  I love the idea that Salsa can be updated and young while still holding its technical merits.

    Everett/Melanie
    Jazz/Rock

    I was totally underwhelmed by this piece.  It felt forced and awkward the whole way through.  The music was loud and annoying.   They are so much better than this piece showed them to be.  And that lift over the head- I think that might have been the most awkward, un-attracted and un-stable lift I’ve seen on this program.  People won’t remember this piece.

    Emanuel/Jayme Rae
    Quickstep

    It’s either going to be magical or horrific.  There is no middle ground in the Quickstep.  This just wasn’t good enough- the Quickstep has to have a fluidity to it and they both were quite stiff and uncomfortable looking.  As Mary said- the open work was fun to watch, but those steps and choreography weren’t Quickstep moves.  I don’t believe that axels are usually seen in a Quickstep.  I hope that Emanuel does better in the next piece- because he might be in trouble based on that piece.

    It seems to me that the judges in Canada are much more leniant than the judges on the American version of the show.  I wonder why that is because if Nigel was reviewing that piece he wouldn’t have had nice things to say like Jean-Marc did.

    Vincent/Tara Jean
    Contemporary

    This piece is why people dance.  It was as full of emotion and connection as it was with movement.  Neither Vincent or Tara Jean out-danced one another.  It was all about the moment.  No special lights, no elaborate costumes were necessary.  They put it all on the stage with such courage and beauty.  I’m amazed.

    Everett/Melanie
    Hiphop

    It’s difficult to go from such a tender piece to a hard hitting hiphop however this piece was well executed.  The connected pieces were well done, and they pulled off the dirty-ness that was needed to bring the steps to life.  It was fun and totally convincing.

    Emanuel/Jayme Rae
    JazzFunk

    I liked this piece- but I’m always nervous about a piece that was too many props involved.  I think that Jayme Rae out-danced Emanuel this time.  I keep getting distracted by Emanuel’s facial expressions but maybe it’s just me.  It was really really sexy, but I guess I just didn’t really believe it.

    So You Think You Can Dance Canada Top 8 Results Show

    The opening routein by Tyce Diorio was awesome. I am a little upset with the camera men I felt like I was missing a lot of awesome moves because they were zoomed in on certain people.

    Also, Next Tuesday Mia Michaels is choreographing the group routine….. exciting! I did my Power Rankings this week but was off quite a bit. Here are Tonight’s Results.

    Girls

    Jayme Rae – Safe (As I predicted)
    Kim – Not Safe (Not as I predicted)
    Tara-Jean – Safe (Not as I predicted)
    Melanie – Not Safe (Not as I predicted)

    Boys

    Cody – Not Safe (As I predicted)
    Vincent – Safe (As I predicted)
    Emanuel – Safe (Not as I predicted)
    Everett – Not Safe (Not as I predicted)

    I was way off with predictions this week.

    Solos

    Kim – Sexy, hot, hard hitting
    Melanie – Pretty, passionate, full
    Cody – cute, quirky, fun
    Everett – Pure talent, entertaining

    Good-Bye

    Kim & Cody


    Final Thoughts

    If you had asked me a couple weeks ago I would not be upset if Kim went home but I was really starting to like her and so it was sad to see her leave. Cody I adore but I knew he wouldn’t make it to the end. I am plesantly surprised Melanie is still here, she was my favourite from day one. Final 6 … this will only get more difficult!

    So You Think You Can Dance Canada Power Rankings Top 8

    What a night. I can honestly say we have an unbelievable Top 8. And Mia is right, our Top 4 girls are the best i have seen!!!

    Last week I predicted who would go home, however it is getting so difficult. I can say who I feel should be in the bottom or who I think Canada will vote for.

    Mia Michaels (with a new shaved head), Dan Karaty, Tre Armstrong and Jean-Marc Genereux were judges and we had Nico Archambault debut as a SYTYCD choreographer. It was indeed a special night.

    Although during rehearsals there were multiple injuries with Everett suffering from a bleeding nose from a few kicks in the face to Emmanuel’s sprained ankle (and his fingers are still bandaged) but the show must go on – and it did – and it was spectacular!

    Top 4 Guys Dance
    Jazz with Melissa Williams
    “Beggin” The Four Seasons - Jersey Boys - Beggin' – Jersey Boyz

    They were not at all in unison, a boy band they are NOT! I did enjoy the solo bits with spins and kicks as well as the overall routine. Vincent stood out for me.

    Top 4 Girls Dance
    Burlesque in my opinion with Sean Cheeseman
    “Dr. Feelgood” Aretha Franklin - Aretha Franklin: 30 Greatest Hits - Dr. Feelgood (Love Is a Serious Business) – Aretha Franklin

    This was sexy, hot and amazing. The girls were in sync, each had a chance to shine and the choreography was super seductive. Jayme Rae stood out *slightly* for me but overall the all shone like the superstars they are.

    Couples

    Vincent & Tara-Jean

    1. Rumba with Eric Caty
    “Hero” Enrique Iglesias - Escape - Hero – Enrique Iglesias

    Maybe it’s the song but I teared up, I was covered in goosebumps and I enjoyed every moment of this amazing routine. The kiss at the end was hot and Mia Michaels was correct, the end bit was very Karma Sutra. I just loved it, Tara-Jean was sexy and Vincent was powerful and I adored every second of this routine.

    2. Krump with Lil’ C
    “Chea-Chea-Chea” – Tha J Squad

    Neither hit it very hard but it was a good effort. Tara-Jean seems to me to be the weakest link of the 4 girls, though even saying that feels wrong because they are all so amazing. Vincent delivered though it was not overly “krumpy” for me.

    Tara-Jean
    “Farewell” Rosie Thomas - When We Were Small - Farewell – Rosie Thomas

    Passionate, Emotional, Pretty. But not sure if her overall effort will get her to next week.

    Vincent
    “U Can’t Touch This” MC Hammer - MC Hammer: Greatest Hits - U Can't Touch This – MC Hammer

    Unique song choice for his genre of dance but he delivered. It was hot, sexy and most importantly ENTERTAINING!

    Kim & Cody

    1. Hip Hop with Luther Brown
    “Humpin’ Around” Bobby Brown - All the Number Ones - Humpin' Around – Bobby Brown

    I loved this routine. Mia Michaels called it “dope” and I concur. It was hard, it was hyped, it was a throw back to old school hip hop and they nailed it. Both of them were in their genre and showed they could rock it out.

    2. Smooth Waltz with Pierre Allaire
    “What a Wonderful World” Louis Armstrong - Louis Armstrong's All-Time Greatest Hits - What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong

    This fell flat. It was cute and quirky, I was shocked to see Kim not being sexy… but it was not entertaining and as the judges pointed out it showed poor technique and didn’t deliver.

    Kim
    “Jerk it” Thunderheist - Thunderheist - Jerk It -Thunderhiest

    Back to the sexy where she belongs this was an amazing routine. I especially loved the gliding across the floor on her back and the abrupt sudden movements… hot!

    Cody
    “Missin’ You” Trey Songz - Trey Day (Bonus Track Version) - Missin You – Tre Songz

    The problem with Cody is that his hip hop is smooth and natural and looks to come so easy. I think that can be mistaken for lack of effort or passion. I believe he HAS the passion and drive and effort, but he is just so talented his solo’s appear relaxed. I hope this doesn’t land him in the bottom

    Emanuel & Melanie

    1. Contemporary (Ballet parts) with Sabrina Matthews
    “The Scientist” Coldplay - A Rush of Blood to the Head - The Scientist – Coldplay

    What great lines. It was a beautiful routine though I felt the pairing was a bit off. The judges really emphasized how well Melanie did while playing hard ball with Emmanuel. He was injured, he did miss rehersals, he did fairly well all things considered, but also he is a fan favourite mainly because of his background with skating and his familiarity.

    2. Disco with Melissa Williams
    “Hush Hush” The Pussycat Dolls - Doll Domination - Hush Hush -Pussycat Dolls

    I enjoyed the routine. I feel like Melanie has been in the bottom when she shouldn’t have been before and fear that will occur again. Emmanuel I feel has been in the top when he shouldn’t have been and wonder how Canada will vote this week given he was injured.

    Melanie
    “Innocence” Björk - Volta - Innocence – Bjork

    I loved this solo. The song choice was so perfect for her movements. She really delivered passion and talent and showcased why she should stick around.

    Emanuel
    “Mad World” The Hitmakers - Big Smash Hits - Mad World (as made famous by Adam Lambert) – Adam Lambert

    He always looks to glide on ice. I wanted to see more. I worried about his ankle. I feel it is tough to judge or rank someone who is injured. I don’ tknow if people will vote for him based on previous weeks and loving him already or even as sympathy for his injury or if he will finally go home. We shall see tomorrow.

    Jayme Rae & Everett

    1. Mamba with Gustavo Varagas
    “En Berransvilla Me Quedo” Joe Arroyo - La Verdad de Joe Arroyo - En Barranquilla Me Quedo – Joe Arroyo

    Jayme Rae’s hips were flying and she was sexy as hell even as her costume was falling apart. The kicks, spins, dips and that end flip… wow! Entertaining and amazing. Yes Jayme Rae outshone Everett but that is how it should be and Mia Michaels was correct – HOT A LICIOUS!

    2. Jazz Funk with Nico Archambault & Wynn Holmes
    “Sexy Chick” David Guetta - One Love - Sexy Chick (feat. Akon) – David Guetta (feat. Akon)

    If Nico’s choreo can’t keep these two out of the bottom 2 I don’t know what can… Nico’s debut as a choreo on the show was AMAZING… I loved it as much as I love him !!! Everett was the perfect geek and Jayme Rae sexy as sexy can be. The story was cute, the moves were amazing it was a well-crafted routine from idea to performance….

    Jayme Rae
    “gettin’ in the Way” Jill Scott - Who Is Jill Scott? - Words and Sounds, Vol. 1 - Gettin' In the Way -Jill Scott

    Every movement was precise and amazing. I think she should be safe based on her paired routines and solo. She has become quite the superstar.

    Everett
    “Stand By Me” Ben E. King - Ben E. King: Anthology - Stand by Me -Ben E King

    This guy is entertaining. He makes tap fun again. I can’t keep my eyes off him when he moves and that is a good thing. I think he should be safe.

    Power Rankings

    Girls

    1. Kim
    2. Jayme Rae
    3. Melanie
    4. Tara-Jean

    Boys

    1. Vincent
    2. Everett
    3. Cody
    4. Emanuel

    I predict Tara-Jean and Emanuel go Home (Though I kind of sadly think it may be Cody and not Emanuel, I would probably cry if that was true though)

    Do you agree? Disagree? Why?

    SYTYCD Top 8

    I’m not over the fact that Canada got it wrong when it came to the guys vote last week.  Austin should have stayed at home.  But nevertheless we press on to the top 8!

    First observation: I want to be Mia Michael- what a gorgeous mama with the shaved head.  Hot Hot Hot.

    Boys Dance:
    This piece was really well choreographed by some guys definitely were out-danced by others.  There is a reason that Emanuel was in the back-he wasn’t as clean or seeming comfortable enough with the choreography.  Although he does have a sprained ankle – so I’ll lay off a bit.  I did love the fact that it was a ‘manly’ piece with great music.

    Tara Jean/Vincent
    Rumba

    I was in that piece.  It was an innocent love that had moments of sexyness in it.  I thought that they were totally in the music and into to each other.  It was just a beautiful piece.  I’m jealous of Vincent’s feet.  Always beautifully pointed.

    Kim and Cody
    Hiphop

    I guess that SYTYCD Canada has a deep seeded love affair with old school style hiphop.  What about lyrical??  It was good they were both good.  Didn’t move me or do anything that we haven’t seen before.  I’m just bored with the hiphop.

    Melanie/Emanuel
    Contemporary

    The judges are going to rave about this piece.  I thought that there were nice moments in the piece but as a whole it didn’t move me the way that contemporary usually does.  People have been commenting about something looking off with Emanuel’s chest, I think that because his legs are so long it makes him look shrunken up top.  That was noticeable to me in this piece.  I just didn’t think that there was much genuine in this piece.  I didn’t really believe that they were together.  I guess I was wrong- the judges didn’t rave.


    Jayme Rae/Everett
    Mambo

    I think that it’s because Everett is a tap dancer he has this organic level to him that makes him even compete with Jayme Rae and her falling-apart costume.  Jayme Rae is just this dirty hot thing who may not like to be in the follow position but she is in total charge of her hips.  It was a great piece.  It just shows the audience that you have to be ‘in’ the piece for us to love it.

    Top 4 girls

    Loved it!  Sexy in a vintage kind of way.  It was great and classic.

    Vincent/Tara Jean
    Krump

    Lil C!  this was good, although Vincent got lost compared to Tara Jean.  He just wasn’t hitting it hard enough.  But he is such a good dancer, it almost didn’t even matter.  He was 90% there.

    Kim/Cody
    Smooth Waltz

    It was lovely.  The choreography was.  The dancing itself just wasn’t really flowing.  They were uncomfortable in the piece and it showed.  People on the moon could see how awkward it was.  It was lovely but terribly uncomfortable.


    Melanie/Emanuel
    Disco

    I didn’t like this piece.  It had zero rhythm and even though Disco is so hard to dance and pull off, it shouldn’t look as hard as it did.  Also, for Emanuel being in this God-like shape he should be throwing her around that stage with no problems or effort.  The whole seemed way to heavy.  Emanuel might be in trouble.

    Jayme Rae/Everett
    Jazz Funk

    Now that is what Jazz/Funk’s definition is.  The characters were fantastic and believable.  The movement was crisp and clean throughout.  The timing was spot on. The connection between Jayme Rae and Everett was totally on point.  I loved this piece!

    It definitely ended on a high note..  I can’t imagine who will be going home.  Should be interesting!

    So You Think You Can Dance Canada Top 8 Dancers Superstitions

    The Top 8 Dancers are a superstitious bunch! What do your Top 8 dancers do before stepping on stage?

    Cody Bonnell, 19, Unionville, Ont.
    I always wear black underwear if it doesn’t show under my costume!

    Emanuel Sandhu, 28, Vancouver, B.C.
    I just try to keep focused, but I always have a black coffee before going on stage.

    Everett Smith, 25, Glen Morris, Ont.
    I didn’t used to be superstitious, but after dancing with Tara-Jean, I make sure I knock on wood.

    Jayme Rae Dailey, 21, Montreal, Que.
    I take a moment to myself and close my eyes and hope for the best.

    Kim Gingras, 24, Montreal, Que.
    I listen to a lot of Frank Sinatra! It calms me down before the show and makes me super happy. But if I need more energy, it’s all about Beyoncé!

    Melanie Mah, 19, Richmond Hill, Ont.
    Right before I go on stage, I usually do crunches. And I get a little superstitious about it and have to do a certain number — usually 38!

    Tara-Jean Popowich, 20, Lethbridge, Alta.
    I stand on my tippy-toes with my eyes closed before I go on stage. And of course I knock on my piece of wood whenever I need to!

    Vincent Desjardins, 20, Trois-Rivières, Que.
    I don’t really have any superstitions, but when I’m doing ballroom, I really brush the bottoms of my shoes to make sure they’re not slippery. I do it at least 10 times before going on stage.
