Top 20 (Part 2) Power Rankings
I feel relatively confident in 2 of the Bottom 3 couples, but I feel like whichever dancers I pick for that third slot, there’s going to be lots of dissent. Which, is a good thing. 🙂 It means we’re passionate. So, bring it on! I’m dying to know which dancers y’all think will be in the Bottom 3.
Top Three Couples:
Caitlynn and Mitchell – I think they had the best routine of the night. This is the first time we get to see them dance together on stage and I was really please with their chemistry and their strengths as dancers. They were both in their style this week, so that certainly helped them a lot, but they could’ve both been hurt by Mitchell’s injury last well.
Sasha and Alexander – People were really affected by this piece and the timing couldn’t be more fortuitous, on the same night as the President’s announcement about the troop withdrawal. Plus, it was the second to last routine and Sasha seems to be a favorite.
Ashley and Chris – As the last routine, it’s one of the more memorable anyway. Plus, it was really upbeat and sexy. The song was great, their moves were great, as was their chemistry. Plus, they were safe last week when Jordan and Tadd probably had a better routine, so there seem to be some fans on their side.
Middle of the Pack:
Melanie and Marko – This is probably the favorite couple. It’s mine, for sure. They’ve consistently had about half the vote in our favorite dancer poll. But this routine didn’t live up to its promise. It had everything going for it – great dances, great choreographer, interesting song, funky moves. But it didn’t entirely come together. Still, I don’t think they’ll be in danger.
Ryan and Rickey – This is another opportunity of a not-quite-right routine danced by a favorite pair. I think they’ll be safe, but Ryan and Rickey’s Mandy Moore wasn’t all that it could’ve been and Ryan was smiling (sometimes weirdly) throughout the piece, playing to the audience. Plus, it was the first routine. But, I think they’ll be safe too because they’re such favorites.
Iveta and Nick – They came in #2 in our favorite dancer poll and they had a fun but not very memorable Bollywood routine. They have a good partnership, to be sure, but the routine was pretty early. Still, they’ll probably be safe.
Miranda and Robert – I know a lot of people, like our reader beth, disagreed with my comments about this routine and really loved it. Plus, Robert toned down the more annoying parts of his personality while still being playful. So, even though these two were in danger last week, they’ll probably be safe this week.
Bottom Three Couples:
Missy and Wadi – I hope they survive, but I think they’ll be here in the bottom. I really love Wadi and it hurt to see him so sad after the judges’ comments. It’s gonna be a tough week though and I think that as one of the two dances with obvious flaws, they’re in danger. However, many people may just vote for their favorites and I’m pretty sure lots of people love Wadi and like his partnership with Missy.
Clarice and Jess – They don’t have a great partnership and they were in the bottom last week. This week, their routine was the other obviously flawed one. They looked so awkward whenever their were paired. Clarice is not very big, but Jess sets up his lifts so obviously that he makes her seem like this huge weight. I think I’d like them better with different partners.
Jordan and Tadd – A lot of people liked this Viennese waltz, but I thought it was pretty boring. Plus, it’s not a style that people vote for unless it’s a phenomenal, stand-out routine. Their stint in the bottom 3 might hurt them again this week.
Personally, I’d lose all the girls to keep Wadi and Tadd. Regardless of who they keep, if this IS the Bottom 3, I hope they switch up the couples. Maybe Missy and Tadd or Jordan and Wadi.
What do y’all think?
Tomorrow’s episode is gonna be tough, man.

Week 2 Twitter Roundup
happy performance day! thought I’d take a look around Twitter and see what everyone’s saying on what promises to be a great performance show.
if you’re looking to follow any of the SYTYCD Season 8 dancers, just search “D8(their first name)” ie. D8Tadd or D8Ryan. it’s pretty simple!
these are the Twitters for the S8 contestants. Most of them today are just thanking people for their support. I’ll update this as the weeks go on and the All-Stars begin to get announced.
One other thing, according to S6 Jakob’s Twitter, his 21st birthday was 2 days ago! If you have a Twitter or a FB, go on over and wish him a happy belated birthday!!
have a great time watching the show tonight everyone!

SYTYCD Canada Season 4 Premiere
Tonight was the premiere of So You Think You Can Dance Canada Season 4 on CTV.
For those of you who are not able to watch SYTYCD Canada, I will try to bring you updates each week.
First of all the basics:
Our judges are Jean-Marc Genereux, Tre Armstrong and Luther Brown.
We often have guest judges. Tonight it was Mary Murphy and Rex Harrington.
The procedure during auditions are the same, they dance then get a ticket to the finals or go to choreo or get sent home.
Our host is Leah Miller. She is not nearly as amazing as Cat Deely and to be honest, gets on my nerves almost as much as Jean-Marc.
Choreo is run by Blake McGrath, called “Blake Boot Camp”
Any questions?
Tonight were the Toronto Auditions
I have listed the dancer, the music if I could figure it out and then any details I could. Feel free to comment if I missed anything important or let me know what you think.
Daniel Keith Morrison
Hip hopping in his thatched hat appeared to be a joke but busted out some serious (and goofy) moves.
Sent to finals.
Jordan Clarke
“Firework” – Katy Perry (montage)
“Fall at Your Feet” – James Blunt (audition)
Sent to finals.
Cassandra Flammini
“Fever” – Peggy Lee
Jazz Dance
Tre said she had“delicious toes” while others called her “Cassexy”
Sent for choreo – made it through
Joey Arrigo – 18
“A Drop in the Ocean” – Ron Pope
Stunning contemporary
Sent to Finals
Rodrigo Basurto
“Pressure” – Belly
B-boy
Sent to Finals
Sarah Vance
“Bleeding Love” – (acoustic)
Sent to Choreo – made it through
Marivic De Vera
Tahitian Dancer
Sent Home
Adam Lopapa – 18
“Feeling Good” – Michael Buble
Sent to finals
Jennifer Abbey
“Perfect” – Pink (montage)
“Only Girl” – Rihanna (audition)
Very heartbreaking story, quite emotional
“Can’t Touch This” – MC Hammer – warm up routine / mid-day montage
Lisa Frias
“The Way I Am” – Ingrid Michaelson
Sent to Choreo – made it through
Jordan Davis
Very fun hip hop
Sent to finals
Jena Singh – 19
Salsa dancer
She had been a partner for someone auditioning during season 2 but was too young until now to audition herself. Her shoe came undone during her routine but she still rocked it.
Sent to choreo – made it through
Melissa Mitro
“S&M” – Rihanna – (montage)
“Say You Don’t Want It” – One Night Only (audition)
She is so muscular and athletic, she joked about her “guns”
She actually made it to the finals in season 1 but did not show up, because she was committed to competition dance with a team and did not want to let them down.
Sent to finals – hope she makes it this time, I like her!
Jean-Marc returned, he had been at a ballroom competition. I honestly, prefer when he is NOT there, his voice and the way he hits on all the hot ladies gets on my nerves.
Yara Casconcelos
Sent to finals
Shandal Lee Williams
Crump – Hard-hitting, spasms and throwing himself on the floor doing Contortions. The judges were more fearful he was going to hurt himself than anything. Was told to calm his aggression.
Sent to Choreo – did not complete choreo
Matthew Cuff
“Sexy Chick” – David Guetta
Voguer – He auditions every year, but his ‘flamboyant’ style is not well recieved typically. Tonight he had fun and had improved a lot.
Sent to Choreo – made it through
Andrew Chung
“We No Speak Americano” – Yolando Be Cool
B-Boy who auditions every year. Decided to focus on locking this year to take it to the next level. He almost made Top 20 last year and I predict he will make it this year after judges compliments on how much cleaner and confident he is.
Sent to finals.
Katie Arnold
“Marry Me” – Train (montage)
“Bleeding Love” – Five Finger Death Punch (Acoustic)
Unsupportive father, emotional intro, but she is nervous and weak and stopped mid-dance
Sent Home
Suzana Garcia
“Errtime” – Nelly (montage)
“Commander” – Kelly Rowland (audition)
Lot’s of compliments on her looks, but that she was needing to bring more precision to her dancing, she was too wild.
Sent to choreo – made it through
Brenner Smith – 18
Everett Smith (tapper from Season 2) is his brother. I LOVED Everett! Brenner is Contemporary though. I really liked him.
Sent to finals
AJ Lopresti
“Shambala” – Three Dog Night
Tapper who auditioned as contemporary in the past and did not make it.
Sent to Finals
Kirstie Keenan – 19
“Best for Last” – Adele
Some mixed responses from the judges. I really think she is cute and quirky and fun.
Sent to choreo – did not make it through this year
Esie Mensah – 25
Martial Arts Black Belt in 3 Disciplines. She was unique and hard-hitting and I could just see Sean Cheesman having a hay-day with her.
Captain Canada
After another year of all No’s he announces he is “retiring” This guy has a hat and a Canada Flag Cape… all in fun.
Jordon Barley – 18
“Like a G6” – Far East Movement
He was really awesome. He learned off the internet!!
Sent to finals
Vicky Luo – 23
Chinese Dancer, amazing, made it to finals season 2 and has studied other forms of dancing to prepare for this year.
Sent to Choreo – made it through
Aleksandra Jurevich
“Where I Stood” – Missy Higgins
A returning auditioner, she did very well.
Sent to finals.
“I Like to Dance” – Hot Chelle Rae (montage of dancers sent to finals)
Blake Boot Camp
“Mine” – Ace Hood (montage of dancers sent to choreo)
*New those who got sent to finals get to go to choreo to see what is to come in finals if they wish*
Montage of sweating dancers making mistakes, saying it is hard and hurts, while Blake says it is not good enough.
“DJ Got Us Falling in Love” – Usher (Blake’s Routine for dancers)
I included choreo results above next to each dancer sent to choreo.
And that was SYTYCD Season 4 Premiere.

Some Dance Lagniappe
This is NOT SYTYCD-related, except in the sense that it IS dancing. Here in Louisiana, we have a concept of lagniappe, which means “something extra.” Here is your “something extra” for the week, just to whet your appetite for dance.
Photographer David Eustace filmed the Scottish Ballet’s principal dancer, Tomomi Sato as a “study in movement.” It’s cool, just a touch creepy and really beautiful. Hope you enjoy!

Top 20 Results Thoughts and Discussion
Sorry this is late, y’all. I was trying to watch last night’s results show while at work. Which was successful until about halfway through the solos and I had to actually go work. I’ve since caught up and am ready to talk. Seems some of you are, too, so here’s a space for your discussion, too. Sound off in the comments.
My thoughts:
-I loved the Sonya group routine. It seemed like the girlie “beasts” were a bit favored over the guys, but I do have to agree that I think the girls are stronger this season. The guys are growing on me but all my favorites are girls right now. Also, I thought the “Where were you in ’92” line was ironic, considering most of the dancers are younger than 19 and ’92 was almost 20 years ago now…
-I’ve loved having Megan Mullaly as a guest judge. She knows what she’s talking about, but she’s kind and supportive and clearly a fan. Best of all possible worlds for a guest judge.
-The photo of a scared Nigel congo-ing (?!?!) with Lady Gaga was hysterical. And scary. 🙂
-I’m glad they didn’t try to act like Melanie/Marko are in danger because I really love this couple and they had one of the best routines of the night.
-In the Missy/Wadi and Iveta/Nick couples, I do like the guys a lot and I really liked their partnerships, which is helping Missy and Iveta grow on me. Glad they’re safe.
-Between Ashley/Chris and Jordan/Tadd, I think Jordan/Tadd actually had the stronger routine. It was just at the beginning of the night, so maybe people forgot about them. I really like their partnership. I like Ashley/Chris, too, don’t get me wrong and they had a cute hip hop, but I liked the African jazz better.
-I’m SO GLAD Caitlynn is safe. She’s quickly become one of my favorites. Doesn’t she kinda look like a brunette LoFro? However, I loved watching her danced with Robert. They had such a great routine and incredible chemistry. Who knows if she and Mitchell will have good chemistry together next week? I want her to continue to be safe.
-I’m not surprised Clarice/Jess were in the bottom, but I thought she did a really good job in the Broadway. She had so much charisma and I think she and Jess might actually be a good pair.
-Keri Hilson’s performance was great and all, but I would’ve liked more focus on the dancer. I may be in the minority about generally being kinda blah about the musical performances (unless they have SYTYCD alum as dancers).
-SO GLAD Ryan and Rickey are safe! They are such a great partnership. You could tell they were a bit nervous, despite the crowd reaction.
-It was clear who the bottom couple was gonna be between Miranda/Robert and Sasha/Alexander. It’s funny that they paired the girl with the least exposure with the guy with arguably the most. Maybe it’ll help draw Miranda out. Their routine was athletic and I feel like the choreography was great, but it just didn’t come together. Whereas Sasha/Alexander’s routine was fantastic.
-GOPAK! That was funny. Both Amanda and I giggled at the flashback to Jeanine and Philip’s Gopak because it was a running joke on the tour, which we both attended in Atlanta. So funny. And the guest dancer Gennadi Saveliev was amazing. The height on his jumps was incredible.
-Mitchell’s solo was very good, controlled and powerful. So far, his personality is my least favorite (and Robert an annoying second least favorite) of the guys because he comes off very arrogant. But he can dance, for sure. I think it was Sasha who was jumping up and down in near the end (her hair gave her away, plus it’s her style).
-Jordan’s solo was a bit…gymnastic stripper-ish. I love her to death, but I don’t know that it was the strongest solo she could have presented. I like the music, though, and it fits her.
-Tadd’s solo was probably my favorite. It had so much character to it and really showed off his skills. He reminded me so much of Dominic in his 8 second intro during the performance night and a little bit here too, in his solo. Love him.
-Clarice’s solo had a few nice elements, but I was distracted by the weird handkerchief thing hanging from her hip. The first move was pretty awesome, though.
-Jess’s solo, too, had a ton of character. Like Tadd, he really took his time to display himself and his dancing, which is something I don’t think either of the girls did very well.
-Miranda did, however. Hers was probably the best of the girl’s solos. She had some amazingly high jumps and leaps, especially at the beginning, but it didn’t feel frantic.
-Robert’s solo was good, but Tadd’s and Jess’s were definitely better. He had such a wave of audience support though, all woo-ing for him. You could tell it took Cat by surprise a bit.
-I’ve been pretty Lady Gaga-‘d out lately. Her last few singles have not impressed me very much. But “Edge of Glory” reminds me of the songs of hers I’ve liked and the video was pretty good. It’s kinda cool that she had her tv premiere on SYTYCD during Season 4 AND that she’s gonna guest judge later in the season.
-WOW! I was pretty surprised and pleased that they’re not sending anybody home. Cat was DE-LIGHT-FUL during the whole bruhaha. It’s gonna be tough to see 2 couples go home next week, but it’s nice that we get to see them all dance one more week, right?
What do y’all think? some of you are, too“>Our reader Emily called me out on not having a place for her and other readers to share their thoughts. Here it is, go for it.
