The auditions concluded in So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Episode 6 with Hayley Cloud, Iveta Lukosiute, Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello, and Leigh Asay. Now it’s Vegas week.
Nathan Trasoras first auditioned last year… when he was 17. He ended up with a ticket to Vegas then. Ellenore Scott follows him and keeps the judges in a good mood.
After the first 10 solos, the judges have some results. Nathan and Ellenore, along with Justin Kenney and Ivete Lukosiute, advance to the next round. Shelby “Skip” Skipper and Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello also advance.
Thomas Hamilton and Allison Becker are in the next group. Neither will be advancing.
Willem de Vries and Jacob Jason are back same sex dancing. The judges have decided to split up the pair, eliminating Jacob but keeping Willem.
The first stage of the process has cut about 25% of the dancers, eliminating 41 out of 152. The next genre is hip hop.
Nobody believes that Teddy Tedholm is ghetto, but it doesn’t matter because he’s safe. B-Boy Jean Lloret, however, gets cut despite the style, unable to get the choreography.
Ryan Kasprzak, who has the most recognizeable name on the stage, is getting his shot again, after having made it so close last year when the judges supposedly had to pick between him and his brother Evan. The judges are split 3-3 on him, which is enough to keep him safe.
Cha cha is the next morning with Louis van Amstel and Anya.
The first casualty, Billy Bell, has been whacked upside his face by Christina Santana. He won’t be allowed back on stage until he stops bleeding.
Krumper Russell Ferguson is paired with Iveta Lukosiute. Both of them are moving forward, and they get a standing ovation from Adam Shankman.
Billy’s nose finally stops bleeding, but he’s missed almost all the rehearsal. Legacy is also in his group, but I have to wonder whether somebody with a stupid nickname can get to the top 20. He is dancing with Paula van Oppen. Legacy has been asked to fight for his life. Billy, Christina, and Paula, however, advance.
Ryan Kasprzak is in the final group of the day, hoping he can outdo what he did yesterday in hip hop, which he realizes is his worst genre. He’s told that the feel of his effort today was too strong, so it’s not happening again this season.
John Litzler is also dancing for his life. Nigel gives a no due to lack of emotion. Mary says yes. Adam also says yes, but he doesn’t feel his heart. The rest of the panel follows this up by saying no.
Legacy is the last remaining dancer to perform. His B-Boying is great, but he’s gonna have to do more than that. He gets a yes from all the judges.
Teddy Tedholm and Shelby Skipper have been eliminated.
