All-Star Chelsie, Please?
So, would Chelsie have to get booted off Dancing the the Stars early in order to compete in SYTYCD Season 7 as an All-Star? What about that juicy Wikipedia tidbit Mariyana found?
All-Stars Dance Pool
- Stephen “Twitch” Boss (Season 4) – Popping/Locking/Krump
- Pasha Kovalev (Season 3) – Ballroom/Latin
- Kathryn McCormick (Season 6) – Jazz/Contemporary/Broadway/Cultural
- Allison Holker (Season 2) – Jazz/ Contemporary/Broadway/Cultural
- Ade Obayomi (Season 5) – Contemporary/Classical
- Comfort Fedoke (Season 4) – Hip Hop/Krump
Chelsie Hightower (Season 4) -Ballroom/Latin (This is only if Dancing With the Stars permits. If she is eliminated within the next two weeks, then she will be participating.)
Check out this great, sweet, article about Chelsie on Dancing with the Stars.
Ugh… I’m still trying to find some sort of documented verification on the internet…. can you tell that I don’t feel like working at the moment? And Wikipedia is USUALLY good with references… this is getting annoying.
Well can’t find documented proof… but apparently Chelsie Hightower was selected as one of Michael Jackson’s back up dancers on the London tour waaaaaay back when… http://mjsbigblog.com/fox-la-sytycd-recap-chelsie-hightower-was-one-of-michael-jacksons-backup-dancers.htm
Amazing what you find where you’re looking for something else.
Yay! Lauren’s back!

Hmm, he didn’t put down her specialties…. According to wiki she’s contemp…
I’m so excited about the all star season !! I think it’s a great twist, especially after the slightly disappointing sixth season (not dancers wise, just format wise). I’m not sure if their choosing two dancers from each season (excluding season 1) but if they are, then chelsie wouldn’t be able to be on it, because they already have two people from season 4.
Season 2: Allison
Season 3: Pasha, Lauren
Season 4: Comfort, Twitch
Season 5: Ade
Season 6:Kathryn
I kind of hope their not picking specifically from seasons, because honestly besides Travis Wall there’s no guy that I’d personally want to see back from season 2.
I want to see Janette and Jakob from season 5 and 6 come back, I think those would be my picks!!
@Erin
hehe I remember practically everyone from past seasons but that’s cuz I’m a sytycd-a-holic :/
But you’re right I don’t really care for any others except Travis and possibly Heidi and Dmitry. Although it was unfortunate that even when she was assisting Benji, there was no mention of her name in the captions.
Totally agree that they should have Janette and Jakob!
I feel like with 3 contemporary female dancers, having Katie is just wishful thinking. >_< I wouldn't mind seeing Mark 😀
lol I also wonder how ppl are going to decide whether they will stop voting for Chelsie so we can see her on SYTYCD haha.
@Marianya, once again for your eagle eye. 🙂
@Erin, I don’t think they’re going to break it up like that. But then again, who do you think they’d bring back from season 1? Benji annoys me sometimes. Great dancer, I can see that. But he won and I don’t think they’re picking winners.
@Erin & Christine, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Janette and Jakob. 🙂
They’ve taken the bit about Chelsie off of Wikipedia:

@Emilie
i don’t actually think there bringing back anyone from season 1, they might but it seems unlikely for two reasons; 1. the show was pretty different back then, there was no Cat(Kat?), there was no elimination night, etc. and 2. not many people watched it, therefore not many people would recognize the dancers there choosing as all-stars.
benji also annoyed me sometimes haha, but i think that might have been because i really wanted travis to win 😉
@christine
I know the feeling haha I’m kind of a SYTYCD addict myself 😛
i started watching in season 2 and it’s the season that got me hooked on the show, but truthfully when I was remembering all the great dancers that I would want to see again, the majority were girls, with the exception of a couple great guys (Travis, Benji, Ivan, maybe Dmitry)
I want them to bring back Mark as well ! when I started thinking about the guy dancers that I loved, most of them were from season 4 haha i loved Gev as well 🙂
I have a feeling Erin is right. I think S1 will get skipped, and they’ll pick a guy and girl from S2-6. That means we need a guy from S2, a girl from S5, and a guy from S6. And I’m presuming they would all have to have been top 10 in their season.
We also need a ballroom girl, so I do think they will get Janette 🙂 Salsa, yes, but she can do every ballroom style (and non-ballroom style, lol).
I think, style-wise, another contemporary/jazz guy is needed, and probably another ballroom guy (as there are so many ballroom styles, there will probably be at least 3 ballroom routines a week). So…
They *could* get Ryan (S6) and Travis (S2). BUT, I’m pretty sure Travis will be around as choreographer (which is awesome!), not dancer. They could get S6 Ryan and S2 Ryan, lol, but I honestly barely remember S2 Ryan.
I’m thinking perhaps it will be Dmitry (S2) and Jakob (S6). I know Dmitry has been choreographing, too, but he hasn’t been doing it as much lately (for the show at least), so it’s not like with Travis. And omg, to have Jakob back! Nigel was as much a fanboy of him as he was of Kathryn, lol, so it seems very possible 🙂
@Erin and Ahs: You’re probably right about Season 1. I can’t say I’d mind too much, since I didn’t start watching till Season 3. Season 4 was a pretty amazing season, I have to say. 🙂 Can’t wait for Season 7…
6 out of 7 right so far.
I hope Chelsie makes it too and I would love to see somebody from S1 to be featured. Because not many people haven’t seen S1 and they would love to see how talented these guys are
Isn’t Mark on Lady Gaga’s Monster tour? So he’d sort of be out of the pool for All-Stars.
As for Travis Wall, consider that odd rule that All-Stars won’t choreograph the numbers they dance in. Seems like a rule that nicely figures Travis in as an All-Star *and* choreographer.
I’m super glad they got Kathryn back. I’d like to see Katee join the All-Stars as well, and considering Lauren is one, I don’t think Glee is anything that would hold them back.
Anyone noticed that, so far, none of the All-Stars have been competition winners?
Travis can be a good pick as well but he doesn’t need to choreograph there heaps of other great Contemporary choreographers that can be the same like what Travis does. Like Sonya & Tyce
It’s the same with Lauren & Pasha they were both choreographers on the show as well. Lauren choreographed the Season 4 auditionees
Ben – Also dealing with All-stars competitiors choreographing their own routine wouldn’t be such a good idea though. Cos it would be unfair for the other competitiors who have partners that can’t choreograph a routine for example for people who freestyle mainly Hip Hop dancers
