BWW Recap: SYTYCD Reveals Top-20 Amidst Ultimatums, Early Contenders & A Broken Tooth
by Matt Tamanini - Jun 26, 2014


After four weeks of impressive, but not compelling, auditions, on Wednesday night, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE's 11th season dove head-first into an expedited Vegas Callback Week. Not only did we see each of the callback rounds, but we also saw the Green Mile, which brought us to this season's Top-20. While not having the Green Mile lead into a studio performance, as in recent years, was a little disappointing, I definitely appreciated not having the Top-20 announcements drug out for an entire two-hour broadcast.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE Final Four Recap WITH PHOTOS: Best Show of the Year
by Matthew Allen - Sep 4, 2013


I have been pretty vocal with my feeling that the entertainment value of this season of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE has been lacking a bit. However, while there still hasn't been a singular defining moment this season, as the numbers dwindled, the entertainment skyrocketed. Tonight was the most enjoyable evening of reality television that I have seen in a long, long time. With the final-four dancing 14 routines, in every imaginable combination, we were treated to a remarkable evening that had very few missteps.

SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE- Semifinals Recap with Photos!
by Matthew Allen - Aug 27, 2013


Something was a little off in tonight's semifinal episode of SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE. The Group Performance, which normally opens the show, was moved until after the judge's introductions, and then Cat mentioned that 'America's Favorite Dancers' would be crowned in two weeks. That doesn't make any sense, there will only be two boys and two girls left at the end of the night, are they taking a Day-After-Labor Day Holiday? Why won't Cat explain what's going on to us?
