Last night marked the true beginning of the season for So You Think You Can Dance. The past few weeks we have seen the audition process, but last night the top 20 dancers were revealed and we were able to watch them perform actual correographed dances for us. Personally, most the time I prefer when they simply dance in pairs with a story line, whereas tonight they were in groups of 3 or 4 for the most part -- so it isn't surprising that my two favorite dances were only groups of 3 people.
Also - many of the dancers that made it into the top 20 -- I do not remember at all from the weeks of auditions. It kind of stinks for those people, because many of us viewers have made connections with the contestants that have been shown a lot during the audition process like Cyrus, Whitney, Lindsay, and Alexa. Hopefully they will all be able to stand out once the voting process begins.
My first favorite dance included one of my favorite guys of the season because of his sweet personality - Cyrus. Now, he is definitely not trained in dance - he is a popper - but I love his spirit and enthusiasm for dance. I also loved the number he was in tonight because I love stories and characters in the dance. Here is a video of the dance he was in with Cyrus being in the blue shirt, Cole in the red shirt, and Brandon in the white shirt. And if you can believe it, only Cole is a trained dancer. Brandon is a stepper.
My second favorite dance was actually the ballroom number. Believe me, I usually am not a fan of the ballroom numbers and find most of them pretty boring -- but these are my favorite two girls of the season so far -- Whitney and Lindsay - and they know each other from backhome which is probably a comfort for them during the competition. Here they are dancing with Nick.
The final number of the night was also amazing. It had all the dancers together and was correographed by the wonderful Mia Michaels who has been absent from recent seasons, but I love her! Here is that video.
