Tonight, the Top 5 will compete in a tour-themed challenge on a new episode of So You Think You Can Dance.
The show opens with the Top 5 doing a Hip Hop group number.
The Top 5 will be backing up T-Pain singing “Church” and “Dreaming” with a routine choreographed by Fullout Cortland and Kyle Hanagami that includes a set, props and a costume change.
The performance starts out robotic , then becomes Hip Hop-esque. Anthony really puts his all into every performance while Mariyah always struggles a tad.
The Top 5 run back for their quick change and come back out to perform with lights as props. Easton starts this routine, dancing in his style between each of his competitors. It almost looks boy band-esque, this choreo matched with these outfits and the lights.
Allison says it was fantastic performances from all of them, then applauds Madison for going on with an injury, but says it took her a second to find her during the first performance.
Maks says he’s starting a fan club for Mariyah but she only had one standout moment and was a half count behind for the rest of the performance.
Allison says Anthony isn’t their best technical dancer and JoJo notes Dakayla felt more than safe partnering with Anthony.
Maks says Dakayla is peaking at the right time and was the standout of the performance. JoJo says she was blown away by Dakayla and any tour would hire her.
Maks says Easton needs more confidence, but Allison disagrees and says tonight he gave the fire they needed to see.
The bottom three are… Anthony , Mariyah and Easton.
Easton – Solo
He always shines in his solos more than anything and added a lot of tricks and character to this one.
Mariyah – Solo
Mariyah has such a unique way of dancing but she’s verging on repetitive, like she’s already used all her tricks.
Anthony – Solo
Anthony usually leans toward Contemporary but is adding a pop ‘n lock/Hip Hop element to this solo. He’s got incredible balance.
The dancer being eliminated is… Mariyah.
