At this point several “NO” dancers were shown and Mary decided there need to be some rules. She then introduced “Mary’s Dance Rules.” #1 Do not wear hat over eyes. #2 Do not do the never ending reach. #3 Do not do self worship. #4 Men -- no booty shaking.

11] Diana This contestants grand-father was very ill when she came to the audition and pasted away yesterday. Her family pushed her to follow her dream and go to the auditions. She was keeping the family updated on her progress.
Adam said, “Your Grand-Father would be proud of you.” Mary said, “Very good, great moves and you made it look effortless.” I thought it was a beautiful routine, danced with passion.
She was sent to choreograph and at the end of the night the judge’s decision was “YES”. (YEAH!)
Tonight’s show notes:
Once again I liked the way the show was presented tonight. The embarrassing routines were held to just a few and the contestants sent to choreography were saved to last few minutes and then only the contestants that were going to Vegas were quickly shown. I think this made the show 100% more interesting than last years audition shows.
I have nothing else to report tonight except don’t forget the “Dizzy Feet Foundation” for kids. Click here for more information.
Next week is the auditions in Salt Lake City UT and after that “VEGAS Week starts”.
