SYTYCD Canada Top 20 Revealed

SYTYCD Canada Season 4 Top 20 revealed tonight

I was out of town so I have not posted any of the other audition details, but if you are interested I can do that this week.

Tonight the Top 20 were revealed. If you do not want to know who made it yet, do not read on…. you have been warned.

Judges on hand included Mary Murphy, Tre Armstrong, Luther Brown, Blake McGratha nd of course, Jean Marc Genereux.

I was so sad to see some of my favourites go…. but excited to see some awesome, talented dancers make it.

Here are Canada’s Top 20 Dancers for this season:

Males:

  •  JP Dube
  • Boneless – Dwayne Gulston
  • Christian Millette
  • Joey Arrigo
  • Adam LoPapa
  • Moses Layco
  • Francois Pruneau
  • Matthew Marr
  • Shane Simpson
  • Rodrigo Basurto
  • Kevin Howe

Females:

  • Cassandra Flammini
  • Teya Wild
  • Jordan Clark
  • Carlena Britch
  • Melissa Mitro
  • Geisha Chin
  • Shelaina Anderson 
  • Denitsa Ikonomova
  • Yuliya Zavadska
  • Lindsay Leuschner
  • Lauren Lyn

No, your math is not off, they did a TOP 22 again!!!

There were some emotional rejections. Derek with green and purple mohawk cried and dropped to the ground. Snarky Jo called it “bologna” and acted “too cool” for the show. 

Miss attitude Carlena sat alone in a room after her behaviour towards other dancers and production made judges question if she deserves to be in the Top 20. Of course she ended up making it, but I don’t think it is fair to see people act that way and be given this great opportunity. Then again, Shelaina Anderson had attitude in her early years of auditioning, then finally learned from her mistakes and made it last year… only to hurt her foot. But she too is being gien a chance this season, so let’s see how it goes for both of these seemingly reformed  “brats”

Here is the Top 22:

SYTYCDC 3 – Stand Outs and BG Info from Calgary/Halifax Auditions

It surely looks like an incredibly busy week! I am back with more (significant) background information that viewers should know about the stand out dancers from the Calgary & Halifax auditions. Somebody mentioned to me before (I forgot who) that it is so much better if we knew more about the dancers, individually beforehand, so that we have a clearer understanding of why they dance the way they dance, how much training they actually have, and ultimately, who we should vote for. I couldn’t agree more.

CALGARY AUDITIONS

Jo Roy 18 Edmonton > Amazing blend of styles. She has this uniqueness about her that really makes her stand out. Love her technique and she has undeniable talent. I would like to see her krump it out!

Kevin Howe 21 Ottawa, ON > Auditioned in Season 1 but cut in Ballroom round during Finals. He is obviously a competition dancer and is very technically trained. He seems to be quite popular in the dance world (Canadian one, at least) already.

Jera Wolfe 19 NS > SO AMAZING. My new favourite already. 😀 Has an amazing repetoire of styles to dance from. He blends styles almost effortlessly. I believe he will be a sure in for the Top 20. He is auditioning with one of his own pieces in the video below (in which he looks like an amazing dancing vampire HAHA):

Julia Harnett 25 Calgary > Auditioned with partner Rufino Rodriguez (23). Her ethnicity is already of interest to me. She is trained in ballet AND ballroom – she will definitely be a force to  be reckoned with, if she makes the Top 20, in which I believe she will.

HALIFAX AUDITIONS (“Haligonians” … Teehee!)

Yuliya Zavadska & Sharone Lewit ? Vaughan ON > Love that they’re showing how multicultural and welcoming Canada is. I don’t live far from Vaughan at all, but I’ve never heard of this duo. The Internet has a lot of search results for Yuliya though. She seems to be very good. Top 20 material, if they wanted a ballroom girl.

Alexandra Crenian ? Mississauga ON > Now, her audition wasn’t shown, but she was briefly shown during the “shaking/nervous” scene and also when they showed who made it to the Finals. She is Miles Faber (SYTYCDC 1)’s girlfriend. I’m not kidding. She’s a gorgeous and talented one. I briefly ‘met’ her at the iDance 2010 convention in Mississauga and she says she teaches in Mississauga most of the time. She was Miles’ assistant and this girl is amazing at hip-hop. I think she will be a part of the Top 20, TBH!

Curtis Jean 21 Halifax > At first, I thought he was a bit underrated. Yes, not overrated. And then I realized his moves were quite sloppy and he acted as if he was superior to everyone else. And then he had some  muscle spasms and pain. And then he quit. And then I was like – okay no more love for this guy. Sorry!

SO THERE WE HAVE IT! Calgary & Halifax auditions! I think they cut out the Saint John auditions this year? Correct me if I’m wrong. I actually missed the Vancouver auditions tonight believing they would air at 9PM, but in reality, they aired at 8PM. Poo. See you all next time! Enjoy!
