It’s here! The finale of the fifth season of So You Think You Can Dance. The final results are announced at the very end, and until then when have two hours of dancing to enjoy.
They squeeze a lot into the finale – The Rage Boyz Crew! Talia Fowler! There’s a weird bit where the show [...]

It’s our final performance night, and the Final 4 turn out all the stops to show us what they’re made of. It’s quite the night, held in the Kodak Theatre for the first time - and featuring 3,000 people in the audience!
FINAL 4: They begin the night by all dancing to Wade Robson Pop routine about [...]

Results! Tonight we find out who the final four will be. Must be nerve racking for the dancers…
The night begins with a heartbreaking Tyce Diorio piece to “Send in the Clowns.” Evan is only one who really stands out in the group – he is fantastic. The final shot of him waving goodbye is incredibly [...]

It’s the Top 6! This season flew by, and now we are at the crucial junction where the finalists are decided. Before the dancing starts, the Nigel notes how close the competition is, and how the audience is voting based on choreography as opposed to dancers. Well said and very true, considering the Breast Cancer [...]

It is the extra special 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance, with all of our favorites from past seasons back for some fun. This is gonna be great!
…Except that it’s not. In my immediate thoughts after the episode, I feel a bit let down. We know about all the guest performances before, [...]

It’s the 99th episode, and Ellen Degeneres is in the house!
This episode is a two hour spectacle with a lot of dancing (seriously? We need less solos and more one hour shows) and some funnies from Ellen. I’m glad she didn’t actually critique, and is just there to have some fun, crack some jokes, and [...]

It’s results time, Nigel isn’t here, and the show is only one hour. YES.
The opening routine is an interesting mix of ballet, hip hop, and Japanese influences. Here’s the real kicker – it works. It’s really intriguing, and Melissa and her pointe get a starring role. I’m guessing a Robson routine and I would be right. LOVE.
Cat [...]

TOP TEN IN THE HOUSE! And Debbie Allen as guest judge. She’s my favorite of the revolving third judges.
GROUP ROUTINES: The Top 5 girls dance a Bollywood routine and the Top 5 guys dance an African routine. The African dance is high energy, powerful, rhythmical, and awesome. I know they didn’t have much time to learn [...]

I have a feeling I’m not going to like the eliminations tonight…
The show kicks off with a fantastic routine by NappyTabs to “Seven Nation Army” by the White Stripes. I love it. As much as I hate their lovey-dovey-Evan-and-Randi-are-preggers-with-Halos kind of thing, NappyTabs have a way of pulling off awesome.
Nigel takes a moment to address the ideas [...]

Here we are, Top 12, at the all important week where the couples take on two dances in one night. The Top 10 are guaranteed a spot on the So You Think You Can Dance tour, so I’m guessing they’re all extra nervous this week.
We begin with a Doriana Sanchez disco with Melissa and Ade. [...]

Top 14 Results! Let’s see who is going home tonight…
The show begins with a Tyce Diorio Broadway routine set to a song from The Wiz. A nice, subtle Michael Jackson shout out. A lot better than a more obvious tribute, with moonwalks and a single glove.
Cat Deeley gets straight to work, announcing that Evan and Randi [...]

My summers would never be the same without So You Think You Can Dance and the sublime Cat Deeley. It’s Top 14 night and we have two hours ahead of us. Let’s get it started!
Cat pointedly asks Mia if her opinions on any dancers have changed in the past three weeks. Mia implies that she [...]
