So You Think You Can Dance Week 4 Performance

Tonight was another awesome “SYTYCD performance” night and it included a great “special announcement”, which I will get to after the dance schedule summary.
Also note Mia Michaels was a judge tonight and her critique of the dancers is something to pay attention to. Another Mia note is that she has changed her mind about Brandon. A few weeks back she said that she didn’t see his potential and could not grasp the great things other people were saying about him. This week she said that, basically, Brandon has made a believer out of her. She told Brandon that “Dance teachers are normally hard on the students with the most potential and that it’s a way of pushing them to greater heights.” (This brought Brandon to tears and it was a special moment.)

Best of the Night (in order of performed):

Brandon and Janette danced the Cha-Cha. Once again out of their element and they pulled it off. This couple is quickly becoming one of the best couples on the show this year. This weeks Cha-Cha was one of the best Cha-Cha routines ever danced of all the seasons. Last week they danced one of the best Hip-Hop routines this year and a few weeks ago they danced the best ever Disco routines.
Nigel said, “Best ever Cha-Cha routines”. Mary said, “Awesome.” Mia said, “Brilliant!”

Kupono and Kayla danced Contemporary. This couple only has been together for two weeks. Tonight was a Wow!”. Nigel said, “Fabulous”, Mary said, “Great chemistry”, and Mia said, “Great routine and amazing performance.”

Ade and Melissa danced Classical Ballet. This was the first time that a Classical Ballet routine was danced on SYTYCD. The these was Romeo and Juliet and they danced it beautifully. Nigel said, “Great!”, Mary said, “Loved it and great chemistry.”, and Mia said “Brilliant.” Mia also said, “I am happy to see Classical Ballet being introduced on this show.”

The other routines of the night:

Evan and Randi danced Broadway. I thought it was very well danced, but the judges gave it mixed reviews. Nigel said, “Even though he was some what disappointed in Evan’s performance, he still had the couple in the top 10.”, Mary said, “She enjoyed it.”, and Mia said, “They didn’t take the routine to a higher level.”

Jason and Caitlin danced the Jazz. It was a “strange” routine but I thought they danced it well. Nigel said, “Very well danced and then went on to say that Caitlin’s costume made her look like a dancing condom!”, Mary said, “So-so routine”, and Mia said, “Danced very well.”

Vitolio and Jeannine (New couple this week) danced “The dreaded Quick-Step.” I thought they danced it very good and it looked to me to be one of the best Quick-Step routines ever danced on SYTYCD. Nigel said, “Very good overall.”, Mary said, “they brought-it.”, and Mia said, “Good job, great routine, and wonderful.”

Phillip and Jeanine danced Hip-Hop. Since this is Phillip’s specialty he should have “nailed it” and he did. Now Janine, I thought was even better because she was out of her element and did a great job. She “hammered it.” Nigel said, “Tremendous”, Mary said, “Jeanine brought it and fabulous routine.”, Mia said, “She liked it.” This was probably a great pick for Phillip and will probably keep him another week, but wait till he gets another non-hip-hop and hopefully a Tango… (Make a believer out of me Phillip. I have you on the bottom of the “guy” list.)

The Great Announcement made tonight by Nigel!

Nigel announced tonight that a new foundation named “The Dizzy Feet Foundation” is being formed to help under-privileged children. Many people from SYTYCD and many other top stars are involved in its creation. For more details on the foundations web-site: <Click Here>.

This is what’s it’s all about! Bringing a opportunity to children so they can follow their dreams to dance, create a way to enjoy the dance, and even better, allow them to follow the path to their true potential.

There is nothing I can say to everyone at SYTYCD about this new foundation except “God bless everyone involved!”
