Welcome
back to the Academy. Tonight,
the remaining contestants will go through contemporary with
Travis Wall and jazz with Mandy Moore before the judges
narrow down the field to ten girls and ten guys.
Will
your favorite make the cut? Let's
see!Forty
one dancers remain at this point. Cat
introduces Travis and congratulate the contestants on making
it halfway though the Academy. Travis
doesn't want robots. He
wants to give them an outline and then he wants them to add
their own flavor to the routine and stand out. After
90 minutes, it is time to perform.In
group one are ballroom dancers Dillon and Allen.
Cole
Mills (also ballroom) is in this group. All
three seem to take to contemporary well. Cole
is especially good. Nigel
notes Dillon was outperformed and he is let go. Travis
compliments Cole and of course he is safe. Finally,
Allen. Nigel
was a bit disappointed because he feels Cole out-shined
Allen. The
two of them though are safe and will be dancing
tomorrow. Nigel
tells Allen he needs more from him.And
now, a bit of a montage where we see many dancers doing a
fabulous job with Travis' contemporary and getting lots of
praise from the judges. Many
dancers make it through. Tessa
is in the next featured group. Also
in the group are Sydney and Hannahlei. Tessa
is definitely back in her element. All
three do a nice job. Nigel
tells Sydney that she stood out. Hannahlei
is also complimented by the judges. Tessa
however, is told she is having a hard time picking up
choreography. They
note her solo was amazing. They
give her another shot to step it up tomorrow. The
other girls are of course safe.And
now, a montage of some difficult judge comments- noting some
of the dancers weaknesses. Melany
(salsa dancer), B-boy Brandon are sent home. In
the next featured group, ballet dancer David Greenberg, and
two tappers (Eddie and Evan) are performing. Evan
impressed Mary a lot. Vanessa
too. He is
safe. Nigel
asks both David and Eddie to come down. David
and Eddie are both given some harsh words. Both
of them are eliminated. Aww.
Poor
Eddie. So
excited and happy to be here but I think we all knew that he
wasn't long for the show considering his limitations in
things beyond tap.In
the final group to be featured, we see Bridget, Emily, and
Gennesy. All
are contemporary dancers. Emily
is informed by Nigel that he enjoyed her performance more
than anyone else. She
is safe and Travis would love to work with her on the
show. Gennesy
is told that it seemed like she gave up at some
point. Vanessa
gives her a pep talk. But
she has another shot tomorrow. Finally,
Bridget. Nigel
says that Bridget lost him today and Travis says it was
sloppy while Mary didn't connect with it. And
she is eliminated. Damn,
that's a tough one.
Thirty
three dancers are left and Mandy Moore arrives for
jazz. It
will be a huge group production number. It is
going to be a mesh of all the dancing styles before everyone
dancing together. Some
of the dancers note how hard it is to do such an epic
routine with so many people. And
of course, they are all exhausted. Mandy
works with the tappers on their portion. In
addition to learning it, they must also choreograph a piece
of the routine themselves. Mandy
continues and works with the jazz people. The
hip-hop group practices as does the contemporary and
ballroom people. Cat
checks in with the groups because of course, the one thing
they need right now is questions from the host. I
love Cat but let them practice girl!Time
for the huge group routine. This
is hot. Every
dance style gets a chance to shine. And I
love the seamless way each portion comes into play.
By
the end, everyone is dancing together. That
was a really solid routine for sure. Nigel
wants to take them group by group for the results.
The
contestants are nervous. The
judges are talking but of course, we the audience don't
know who they are talking about.
Nicole
(ballroom) is eliminated. Cole
and Allen (ballroom) are both safe at the moment.
The
three ballroom girls are all safe and Mary notes she
doesn't want to lose any of them. Two
of the tappers also move forward. A few
other dancers are given the go ahead by the judges in a
quick montage of results. OH.
Here
is Tessa again. Mandy
was frustrated with her. Tessa
doesn't know what to say. And
she is eliminated. Remember,
she is the one who the judges said had the best solo routine
on day one. And
now, she is done. Victoria,
Alexis, Gaevin, Jay (the drag performer) are all eliminated
from the competition.Twenty
seven dancers are left on day four. They
will do a final solo before the judges determine the top
twenty. Jay
Jay is up first. Yet
another strong solo filled with emotion and
athleticism. Jay
Jay is a stand out on this show in terms of the
contemporary/jazz boys (and maybe all the boys) and I
can't see him not making the show. We
only get to see about three seconds of other solos
unfortunately. Allen
(ballroom) is featured. Haha.
Love
the song choice and the personality. Oh,
the shirt comes off. Allen
is going for broke. DAMN.
Nigel
calls it desperate. He
isn't happy with that solo at all. Allen
knows he blew it. He
will never do that solo again he says.Dustin
Payne is next to be a featured. He
tells a great story with his dancing- very connected to the
music and lots of cool moves. His
hands are phenomenal. They
are his secret weapon. The
solos are officially over. The
judges have got to make some hard decisions. Jay
Jay is in the top twenty of course. Genessy
makes it in by the skin of her death after some tough words
from Vanessa. Magda,
Jensen, Stephanie Sosa, Dayna, Sydney, Brianna, Chelsea
Hough, Emily, Hannahlei round out the top 10
girls.
Meanwhile,
Cole Mills, Justin, Slavik, Peyton, Dustin, Evan, Kyle,
Darius all make the top ten guys. Some
of the contestants are in tears as they hear that they will
not be moving forward. Allen
is out now. Mary
says he blew it. He is
given another shot as he makes it into the top
twenty. He is
the final boy to join the previously announced nine
guys.The
panel tells the dancers that it is NOT OVER. TWIST.
TWIST.
Only
ten will be going through to the live shows. That's
right. Next
week, each dancer will be paired with an all-star and
choreographer to perform in duets outside of their
styles. The
girls take the stage next week as we narrow them down from
ten to five and the guys the following
week.Damn,
these twenty dancers through they had the live shows but
half of them are still in for some heartbreak. I'll
see you all next Monday night. :D
