Season 15 Premiere Recap: Which Auditions Blew
You Away? By Rebecca Iannucci /

   So You Think You Can Dance
returned for its 15th season on Monday night, and the
premiere had everything you might expect from the Fox
reality competition:
Contestants' emotional backstories! Mary Murphy's elated
shrieks! Nigel Lythgoe's creepy ogling of the female
dancers! Ah, there's nothing like tradition.The Season
15 premiere also featured a string of impressive auditions,
including a dancer or two that could very well be standing
in the finale at the end of the summer. Let's break down
the Los Angeles tryouts that earned a trip to The Academy,
from least to most impressive:   6. Gaevin
Bernales (B-Boy) — It's a shame that SYTYCD
is once again leaving out the choreography round from its
auditions this year; dancers must wow the judges enough to
go to The Academy right away, or they'll be sent home.
Gaevin would have been a perfect candidate for the
choreography round: He can confidently and stylishly pull
off a breakdancing routine, but I'm not sure he has the
range or skill level to master Dance's
more intricate and emotional styles. 5. Marcus
Nyemchek, Magda Fialek and Allen Genkin (Latin
Ballroom) — This trio gave us the sexiest
audition of the night, and it seems Magda, at the very
least, is a shoe-in for the live episodes, assuming her
ballroom prowess translates to other styles. But I found
myself wanting more from this group by the time their number
was over; their technical skill is unquestionable, but I'm
not yet emotionally invested in any of their Season 15
journeys.4. Jay
Jackson… also known as Miss Laganja Estranja, honey
darlin' (Jazz) — When SYTYCD
and RuPaul join forces, wonderful things happen. (Don't
believe me? Then you need to rewatch last season's "Call Me Mother" group
number. I'll wait!) Miss Estranja, who competed
on Season 6 of RuPaul's
Drag Race, was easily the most energetic and daring
dancer of the night. Those splits? I'm in pain just
thinking about them. I'll be interested to see how far she
goes at The Academy; Nigel Lythgoe already seems mortified
by the idea of a drag queen competing on his show, and
there's a legitimate conversation to be had about who Miss
Estranja would dance with on the live episodes, should she
get that far. But in the meantime, it's clear Miss
Estranja will be a joy to watch whenever she takes the
stage, and her acceptance into The Academy is getting Season
15 off to a lovely, inclusive start.   3. Eddie
Hoyt (Tapper) — As soon as Eddie's audition was
over, I wanted to reach through my television screen and
wrap him in a hug, given how badly he was shaking during the
judges' critiques. But if he can get a handle on his
nerves, and showcase a diverse skill set at The Academy,
Eddie could be a formidable competitor this season. His tap
choreography is some of the most delightful and creative the
show has seen, and I'm looking forward to watching him put
his stamp on other styles.2. Alexis
Gilbert (Contemporary) — Alexis stole my heart
with her audition song alone: a cover of Taylor Swift's "I
Did Something Bad," performed by Broadway vets Shoshana
Bean and Cynthia Erivo. (It's impossibly badass.) But
Alexis' performance was also stunning. After getting cut
at The Academy last summer, Alexis used every beat of her
90-second audition to show off her flexibility, strength and
innovation. Unless Alexis badly botches a routine at The
Academy — like, really
badly — I wouldn't be surprised to see her in the Top 10
just a few weeks from now. 1. Marina
Mazepa (Jazz) — One of last season's most
memorable auditions came from twin sisters Anastasiia and Viktoriia, who
performed a manic, yet strangely compelling, piece that
brought the judges to their feet. Marina's routine
reminded me so much of that one: bizarre but provocative,
haphazard but confident, puzzling but emotional. From the
moment Marina walked on stage — face covered by her hair,
dressed in an all-black ensemble — you couldn't look
away, and the contortionist movements that followed were
utterly fascinating. Of course, her impressive showing at
the auditions doesn't mean Marina will excel at The
Academy, but I'm already eager to see more from
her.With that,
I turn it over to you. Which auditions from the Season 15
premiere impressed you? Drop a comment below with your
