The Top 20 will be featured in their very own special on Monday, October 26 at 8/7c pm. The competition begins Tuesday, October 27. There will be NO results show the first two weeks of competition due to a scheduling conflict with the World Series.
The So You Think You Can Dance Season 6 Top 20:
Nathan Trasoras – 18 – Contemporary – Mia gives him a big spiel about being too young, but the fake out isn’t very convincing. He’s thrilled to make it.
Kathryn McCormick – 19 – Contemporary – She never stops crying, mostly about her family.
Channing Cooke – 18 – Contemporary – My Boston homegurl makes it. Nigel tells her she needs to work on chemistry with her partner.
Ariana Debose – 18 – Contemporary – Blink and you’ll miss her. Cannon Fodder
Ellenore Scott – 19 – Jazz – They kinda blew by her too, but no way this brilliant dancer is fodder
Billy Bell – 19 – Contemporary – Will have to put off his Julliard education (scholarship, no less) for SYTYCD.
Russel Ferguson – 20 – Krump – He’s a very versatile krumper who swears he’s never been trained (Don’t believe it!) He’s the first ever krumper to make the Top 20.
Kevin Hunte – 23 – Hip Hop – Hip Hop dancer, and cannon fodder, I’m afraid.
Bianca Revels – 20 – Tap – Nigel lays the fake-out on thick on the oft-rejected Bianca. But she’s finally in!
Phillip Attmore – 25 – Tap – Another tapper. He was super defensive during Vegas. He makes it.
Peter Sabasino – 22 – Tap – Is there room for a 3rd tapper? Of course there is! Oh Nigel telling Al Stewart jokes. Yikes.
Victor Smalley – 21 – Contemporary – Blah blah blah…he’s in, despite the judges hating his hair.
Jacob Karr – 19 – Contemporary – That was fast! Blink, and you missed it.
Mollee Gray – 18 – Jazz – Perky dancer from Utah. She hurt her foot in Vegas. They put her in the Top 20 despite her “childish” dancing.
Pauline Mata – 19 – Jazz – She injured her ankle in Vegas, but still, she makes the cut.
Noelle Marsh – 18 – Contemporary – Was cut in Vegas Season 5. Is buds with Mollee Gray. Season 6 is her year.
Legacy Perez – 28 – B Boy – They fake him out, and he falls for it! He’s in the Top 20
Paula VanOppen – She makes the Top 20…but…
Ryan DiLello – 28 – Ballroom – He’s hot. Ryan and his guns make the Top 20
Karen Hauer – 27 – Ballroom – She’s so much better than Ashleigh. What?
Ashleigh DiLello – 26 – Latin Ballroom – Wife of Ryan. Damn, she’s in! Because Paula VanOppen turned the Top 20 down for a movie role.
Some of the rejected:
Amber Jackson – CUT! she’s technical, but personality free, according to the judges. She’s mega-talented, I hope she comes back.
Gene Bursten – Faced the judges with Ryan DiLello
