So You Think You Can Dance...Dance...Dance

So You Think You Can Dance

revealed their top T W E N T Y for 2011.

Just like my friend, Sidney B, does for some other series, I will make some predictions for this as well.

This is the first season where I actually really like all of the top 20...

S O T H I S W I L L B E T O U G H

This is who I want/feel will be in the top 6.

Ready?

1. Melanie Moore

She is from Georgia and just so adorable. I haven't seen her do one bad routine. She is really likable because she seems so
happy and outgoing.

2. Caitlynn Lawson
Washington. She is only a senior in high school, but she is gorgeous. She seems really upbeat and always has a smile even when she is getting critiqued. I think America will love her. Her previous contestant inspiration was Travis Wall which doesn't hurt her case at all.

3. Clarice Ordaz
California. She is one of the best jazz dancers I have seen on the show. She looks forward to working with Sonya Tayeh which is my favorite choreographer. It will be rad to see her do Sonya's routines. She is also trained in everything from hip hop to ballet. I think she will go far on pure talent.

4. Marko Germar
Guam. Helloooo Marko. He is just so great. His style reminds me of Mark from season 4.
Plus he has a bullet lodged in his shoulder still. Anyone who can move like that with a bullet in their arm is top 6 in my book.

5. Wadi Jones
New York. Concrete jungle where dreams are made. Wadi's hip hop skills are out of control. It has proved in seasons past with dancers such as Russell and Twitch that hip hopper's can go far.(Twitch just happens to be one of the dancer's who inspired him. Maybe he will follow in his footsteps and be in Step Up 4?) They are normally better at picking up other styles of dance as well. I think Wadi will be this years hip hop sensation.

6. I couldn't pick just one last guy so it is a tie between...

Nick Young
and

Mitchell Kelly.

Nick has almost the same likable personality as Kent from season 7. (see video below) His tap tells more of story than past tappers I've seen on the show. He seems like he will shine through in other styles as well. I vote Nick.

Others might not...so this is why I put contemporary dancer Mitchell on here as well. His first dance last night with Travis Wall's choreography was amazing. He was so lucky to be a part of that. I think a lot of people will be drawn to him.

Nick is from Wisconsin and Mitchell Chicago, I have to support my mid-western roots!



Time will tell if my predictions are right...so excited for
season 8!
