‘So You Think You Can Dance’ All-Stars All In Place

We’ve been following So You Think You Can Dance executive producer Nigel Lythgoe‘s Twitter feed closely for the past few weeks, and, slowly but surely, he’s been announcing the All-Stars from previous seasons who are going to be coming back to perform with the contestants on Season 7. Finally, all 12 have been compiled and announced:

So here they are: Allison Holker from Season 2, Neil Haskell, Lauren Gottleib, Dominic Sandoval, Pasha Kovalev and Anya Garnis from Season 3, Courtney Galliano, Mark Kanemura, Twitch and Comfort Fedoke from Season 4, Ade Obayomi from Season 5 and Katherine McCormick from Season 6.

Nigel has already said there will be a top ten selected for Season 7 from Vegas week, but the 12 All-Star dancers — six men and six women — will make sure that there is a steady rotation of strong partners for the contestants to pair up with each week. The group also represents a nice mix of ballroom, contemporary and hip hop dancers, and we can’t wait to see a couple of them being asked to dances outside their style, like disco or Bollywood.

Nigel also tweeted that this Vegas week was “the best competition” for the only 10 available slots. Are you getting excited for the upcoming season yet? Which All-Star are you most looking forward to seeing? (We’re happiest about Neil and Twitch — we love their tricks, although some SYTYCD traditionalists may disagree.)
