SYTYCD S7 Dallas/Nashville Auditions + Vegas Week Thoughts
Wow, is that a mouthful.
So… my thoughts.
As always, I’m still processing. I’ll probably wait longer to post my thoughts after this, just because there’s so much going on, so much to talk about.
Margaret posted some spoilers earlier today and here’s the comment I put, which sums up a lot of my feelings about tonight’s episode:
Thanks, Margaret! I kinda get the feeling this is a “choreographer’s season,” more than any other. This is the time where, since they have to limit it to 10 (11) dancers, they have to decide who they most want to choreograph. And who can rise to the same level as the professionals, the All-Stars. They need dancers who are already at the “TOP 10″ part of their journey, even though we’re just now starting to watch them.
That being said, I think they’re kinda pushing the dancers through who they feel have the best chance of rising to the All-Stars’ level. And, of course they want the best *every* season, but I think it’s easier than ever for them to say to themselves, “not these season, it’ll have to be next” for dancers they might have cultivated a bit more in previous seasons. They love “journeys,” after all.
Or, as Marianya put it just now while we were chatting:
and one thing i noticed that the judges were saying when commenting on the dancers through auditions is that they are thinking in their heads, “is this someone i want to choreograph”
