This week on So You think You Can Dance, the top 12 dancers this season performed and after two are eliminated, the top 10 will be revealed. That means that those are the dancers going on the tour after the season ends.

The guest judge this week was Tyce Diorio and even though he is totally confident as a choreographer, he still seems a bit timid in the judging department. But he knows his stuff and give him another time to judge and I’m sure he’ll have it down.

This was my absolute favorite performance of the night! And not surprisingly, one of my favorite choreographers, Wade Robson choreographed the peice. (I’m sooooo glad he’s back this season!) Brandon Bryant and Janette Manrara danced this one perfectly too. It’s a jazz routine with some humor thrown in. I loved it!

Evan Kasprzak & Randi Evans did a great job performing a samba routine choreographed by SYTYCD vetrans Anya Garnis & Pasha Kovalev.

This was a fun routine where Jeanine Mason & Phillip Chbeeb performed a jive routine choreographed by Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin.

Caitlin Kinney & Jason Glover performed a Lyrical Jazz routine choreographed by Mandy Moore. I thought it was good, but not great.

Kupono Aweau & Kayla Radomski performed a very cool Broadway routine choreographed by Joey Dowling. Kupono has really come a long way this season!!

I have become such a fan of Melissa Sandvig & Ade Obayomi this season. They proved why when they took on a Waltz choreographed by Ron Montez. Fabulous!

this was the first time this dance style has ever been performed on the show and from Nigel Lythgoe’s reaction, it will probably be the last. Here, Jeanine Mason & Phillip Chbeeb did a good job with it, but it wasn’t very technical or interesting to watch. It was a Russian Folk routine choreographed by Youri Nelzine.

Caitlin Kinney & Jason Glover were elegant with their performance of a Foxtrot choreographed by Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin.

Kupono Aweau & Kayla Radomski were amazing with this emotional performance of a Contemporary routine choreographed by Mia Michaels.

This was such a fun routine! It took me back to the days of disco and made me want to shake my groove thing! ;-) Here, Melissa Sandvig & Ade Obayomi performed a Disco routine choreographed by Doriana Sanchez.
