In So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 5, we saw Jonathan Litzler, Justin Keney, Kimalee Piedad, and Diana Drexler. Salt Lake City is the last stop on the audition tour.
Bryan Foyer looks like he quite possibly is going to injure himself. Mia calls him one of the strongest B-Boys. They give him a yes to choreography.
Tristy Mirci was in 25 car accidents (as a passenger) over 3 years. Memo to anyone who knows her: stop driving with her. Nigel suggests that these other drivers were dance critics. He can’t believe she’s danced for 3 years because somebody must be robbing her.
Hayley Cloud had a herniated disc following a bad landing during one of her routines. She says she’s recovered and ready to go again. Mary likes the confidence. Mia challenges her to do a handstand, which she can do for 5-8 minutes. Nigel likes that she’s a competitor and is sending her to Vegas.
Ariana Rowley is a local burleseque performer, whose goal is to bring a little bit of Vegas to Salt Lake City. She plans to show the judges something they’ve never seen before (and don’t want to see now). Well, Nigel’s at least entertained by this stripping. For whatever reason, Mia wants to see the choreography, which Nigel jumps right onboard with.
Ballroom dancer Iveta Lukosiute came from Lithuania, which was under Soviet control. Nigel doesn’t think he’s used this word very often: vivacious. Looked fantastic, danced brilliantly, and had of the more enjoyable couples auditions ever. Mary and Mia are trying to avoid crying as they send Iveta to Vegas.
After 15 minutes, Bryan has decided to stop choreography, planning to get some lessons and come back next year. Without the stripping, Ariana does not get as much love.
Pascal Nayigiziki quickly generates a look of “Why is this guy wasting my time?” from Nigel. Nobody knows what he’s doing up there, not even Pascal. Despite that, he gets what seemed to be the longest audition of the night. Where has he been training? Aw man, where hasn’t he trained?
Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello used to be competitors, but now they’re married. Mary loved Ryan’s masculine leadership role, but Ashleigh’s a little bit fake. Mary’s wondering where the chemistry is from this married couple. Mia agrees. Nigel as well. Despite the negative comments, Ashleigh’s told she’s a good dancer, and both will be going to choreography.
Leigh Asay and Josh Murillo audition together, having partnered up about two weeks ago. She’s so involved in it that she loses a toenail. Oh, I did not need to see that. They’d like to see Josh do the choreography. As long as she can still walk, Leigh can come get a ticket to Vegas.
Josh will not be going to Vegas. Ryan will be. What about the wife? Yes, Ashleigh will be joining him.
