Jonathan Platero Before So You Think You Can Dance Top 20
Jonathan Platero is another person we saw very little of on SYTYCD. Turns out he’s a salsa dancer. I love that they have a salsa dancer on the show. Provides a little variety. I wonder if they’ll bring salsa as one of the styles they do on the show now too. I don’t remember them really using salsa before. I am interested to know what kind of solos Jonathan Platero will use.
Here’s a video of Jonathan Platero’s salsa routine with Sophia Luna:
Here’s another video of Jonathan Platero and Sophia Luna in Canada doing a salsa routine.
He’s also a gymnast, so along with partnering skills, he has flexibility and tumbling. I’d like to see him pay more attention to his hands, but in this competition, he’s not supposed to be doing ballroomy precision, so maybe that won’t be an issue when he’s dancing in other styles.
That’s right. I was going to mention that he’s the tumbler. Thanks for adding that note. He will be interesting to watch develop.
