So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 4 brought us Billy Bell, Anthony Hart, Amber Jackson, and Thomas Hamilton. Tonight we head to New Orleans. Nigel’s pretending he’s a doctor again, so Lil C and Adam Shankman join Mary.
Shelby “Skip” Skipper wants to put bounce music on the map. Mary’s never seen that before, but she loved it. Lil C thought it was buck. He will be going straight to Vegas, not something I would have anticipated from this particular style.
Jonathan Litzler is a contemporary dancer with some acrobatic background. Adam calls that one of the best auditions ever. Even without the tumbling, it was still great. Mary is running out of adjectives. I’m sure Lil C will let her borrow one.
Alison Nance, Calvin Turner Jr., and Edward Spots are also heading to Vegas.
Eric le Blanc is apparently on something. He says energy drinks. He wants to be on the hot tamale train, but Mary’s not gonna just give it away. Eric’s not expecting to advance, but Mary and Lil C will let him go to choreography.
Justin Kenney survived a car wreck but ended up dancing again three weeks later. He dances hip hop and breakdancing, although he can’t do some of the stuff he used to do on his head. Mary says he took it to a whole nother level with his power moves. They will be sending him to choreography.
Eric promises he’ll be back, but his run for this season has obviously been terminated. The judges agree to take a gamble on Justin and send him to Vegas.
Kimalee Piedad competes in theater arts that’s sort of like ice dancing. Her partner’s not auditioning, even if he should be. Mary thought that was just fabulous. Adam felt that was stunning but is curious what she’s like on her own with a different partner that may not be so skilled in lifts. He’d like to send her to choreography, but the other two want her to go straight to Vegas.
Popper Micah Mixon grew up on mayonaise sandwiches, sometimes with bread. Dancing was the only good thing he had. He’s never had any formal training, which impresses Mary. Adam said that was not new, but it was fresh. He will go to choreography.
Jakob Karr thrills all the judges. Mary calls it fantastic. Adam says he freaking rocks. Lil C calls him phenomenal.
Diana Drexler’s grandfather passed away yesterday, but she’s still there to pursue her dream. Mary enjoyed the passion and honesty. Adam doesn’t think he could have done that after what happened. She will be going to choreography.
Micah has been cut. Diana, however, has made it.
