Predicted Season 8 Top 20 Couples

After taking a look at Amanda’s Meet the Top 20 posts and the contestant photos on Fox’s official site, and after watching the Meet the Top 20 episode last week, of course, I thought I’d try my hand at predicting the Top 20 couples.

I based my predictions on several factors. I tried to switch up dance styles as much as possible, played the “personality” game a bit and tried to guestimate heights and body types as much as possible. Let’s see how many I get right when Wednesday comes around.

1. Melanie (contemporary) and Tadd (“urban”)

2. Ryan (contemporary) and Alexander (ballet)

3. Caitlyn ( jazz) and Marko (hip hop)

4. Sasha (contemporary) and Nick (tap)

5. Jordan (jazz) and Wadi (b boy)

6. Ashley (contemporary) and Jess (Broadway)

7. Missy (jazz) and Rickey (contemporary)

8. Miranda (contemporary) and Mitchell (contemporary)

9. Clarice (jazz) and Chris (hip hop)

10. Iveta (ballroom) and Robert (hip hop)

What do you think? Do you think I got it right or horribly wrong? Who do you think should dance together? What kind of pairings would you like to see?

Meet The Top 20: Part One

Get to know the top 20 by watch these videos that I found on Dance Plug’s YouTube channel. I’ll add my thoughts along with the videos, so enjoy getting to know the top 20 for season 8.

Missy Morelli

I like that she seems to true be enjoying every asppect of her journey so far and to hear hear say Vegas week was fun.

Nick Young and Rickey Jamie

I’ll admit I’m already a fan of Nick and yes partly because he is a tap dancer but I think he will surprise us. He spent $3oo on tap shoes…which sounds about right for a good pair. Rickey seems to have a lot of personality so he should be fun to watch.

Robert Taylor Jr. aka The Woo Man

He will be one of those loveable characters on the show. Learned a few things about him to that was a bit surprising, he has auditioned before and started in musical theatre before hip hop.

Sasha Mallory

Out of her and her sister, I had a feeling Sasha was going to make it.

Ryan Ramirez and Ashley Rich

I like these girls. Also after Arielle Coker got cut if Ryan didn’t make I’m sure something would have been thrown at my television.

Wadi Jones and Clarice Ordaz

Wadi was another I just had the feeling he was in the top 20, but I love that Legacy was his choice of b-boy to work with.

Tadd Gadduang

Actually I would like to see him dance with Gev.

Dance is one of my biggest passions. I grew up dancing at Augusta West Dance Studio (the same studio that Kathryn McCormick). I have a BFA in theatre/dance from Valdosta State University. Tap is my favorite style of dance.
