"sadly, no ballroom." "much like tyce's pants."
HOORAH, so you think you can dance is back! And they've gone back to having a top 20, BUT are also including all-stars once the group is narrowed down to the top 10. I APPROVE OF THIS PLAN. I LOVED getting to see more of Kathryn and Ade and to see how much their dancing had grown in so short a time. If this year's all-stars are half as good as last years, I will be verrrry happy.
Even though my general feelings towards S7 were pretty much as follows:
there were still some fantastic moments that came out of it.
This season’s auditions have been pleasantly surprising, with the contestants they’ve been featuring in the auditions leading up to Vegas trending a bit older than those in S7 - which is fantastic in my opinion because one of my many gripes from last season was that the cast was SO. YOUNG and the judges kept commenting that they needed to “mature” as dancers...Well, what did they expect when they picked kids all under 20??? But these opening episodes have given me hope for this season!
So, in honor of the new crop of so you think you can dance peeps making their way soon onto my screen (and into my heart!), I thought I'd post my favorite dances from the past three seasons - those that left a serious impression, were just loads of fun, that I continually return to on youtube - many of which involve my sytycd-OTP of all time, Kathryn & Legacy from S6.
HOW SO CUTE U GUYS???

People from S8 auditions I’d like to see make it through:
There seemed to be a ton of talented contemporary dancers (as always), but it seems like this season is turning into the season of hip hop! EXCITING!
Hiro
Marko
and Patty Anne Miller
Also on my radar are Arielle, Brandon, Melanie and Ashley.
I kept waiting for Adrien Lee from last season to show up (he was the one guy I was really rooting for to make it to S7), but sadly there was no sight of him D:
Looking forward to the new season!! But for now, gratuitous Legacy/Kathryn otp vid!
edit: the first time I post after over a month and it's this ridiculousness. LOLOLOL FOR DAYS.
