SYTYCD Blog #4 - Wisconsin and Milwaukee

SYTYCD Blog

Tonight we head off to the Great state of Wisconsin, and hit Brew City, Milwaukee, the home of the greats like the Fonz, Lavern and Shirley. But before the audition process starts, we are going to look back at a few great auditions we didn't get to see from other cities

Sounds good to me, I love doing the look back when we have good dancers to check out, I never get enough of the ones that come to impress…it’s the “dancers” that are just trying to make it on TV that annoy me. First up is Michael Kim, he came back from season 2 where he got to vegas but salsa sent him home. This year he brought back some great popping and locking

All Poppers take notes. This is what it is all about. The way his body snaps and pops is the way it should be done. He was fantastic, so crisp and clean in his movements. Amazing.

I'm so glad the judges sent him straight to Vegas




Me too...that was AMAZING! One of my favorties from last year. Not so dirty if you know what we're talking about.We have two crazy roomies, Katee Shean and Natalie Reid, who spend most of their free time doing crazy workouts together taking the stage next. First up is Katee. Katee was fun, but also graceful and full of talent.

I loved these two, they're the kind of girls you fall in love with. Katee really enjoyed herself dancing, and was a pleasure to watch Natalie looks like a contemporary popper, which is really cool

Katee went straight through, and it was Natalie's turn.

she is sooo interesting!

Natalie is different, and in a good way. Very interesting. Very cool, kind of had what i would say an African dance feel to it. doesn't just look good, she moves great!

yeah almost, i agree with the judges calling it captivating, unique, and honest

And it looks like the two friends get to keep on doing their crazy workouts together in Vegas, becasue Natalie is through too.

well you can't break up a pair




It'd be like splitting up Clyde and Artie

Or you and Clyde!

You had to go there...didn't you?

haha you had to see that coming

Let's not talk about that anymore...let's talk about dancing.

ok ok, Janette Manrara and Romulo Villaverde are up next from the D.C. auditions...they're doing the salsa, and it looks hot hot hot

I love the Salsa. Their tricks are amazing...but look at Romulo, his foot work is a bit sloopy in the actual dancing parts. But she is fantastic

i loved his lifts and holds though! Her legs are fantastic

His tricks were indeed fantastic. It was an awesome dance.

I didn't even notice his mistakes, because i was blown away by the tricks

They were a great pair, and most definitely entertaining

I'm really surprised they were sent to choreography, Janette was sent to Vegas but Romulo wasn't strong enough to go through to Vegas




Finally we hit Milwaukee.

The judges are joined by choreographers Napoleon and Tabitha to see what the city has to offer

First up is Bianca Revels. AND THANK YOU! Finally a Tap dancer!!! Nothing thrills me more than Tap. I love it.

well i loved her feet...but i wasn't impressed by her arms...looked a little limp

I LOVED IT!

I honestly thought she should have gone to choreography before Vegas, but the judges sent her through.

James Davis was certainly fun to watch...but maybe not simply irresistable

I am sorry, but the footloose thing only works if your name is Kevin Bacon.

haha, yeah it was a lot of jumping around, not a lot of dancing

The sent him packing...thankfully.

Evan Kasprzak is next out of the gate. I wasn't so sure about this guy at first, but he has some good moves.

I really enjoyed him, he seemed really original and fun to watch, I loved all the moves with the hat, and he gets some serious height with the jumps

I dig the old school stuff that he did.

Yay straight to Vegas!

Victor Campos did a silly pop dance as he called it...but it was just weird then he had to go and be rude to the judges, big mistake

Oh the guy who wanted to be Zorro, and probably hit a few brewery tours before his audtion. He was a waste of time.

well he seemed like he was trying to be confident, but you could tell he was super nervous on stage...and just ended up bumbling around enough about him...next

Like I said he sampled one too many on those brewery tours. But next. Travis France was at least fun to watch, unlike drunk Zorro. His toe Touches are great.

yeah, but that's all he had going for him He was a jumping bean, but really no dancing at all

none what-so-ever. but a nicer guy.

Kourtni Lind came to auditions with her mom for support, but i think they looked more like sisters

Kourtni does look like someone. She had great control

i loved her, i think Mia Michaels would go crazy on this girl

Oh yeah...Mia would love her.

the choreography was very in depth, she used her whole body

Nigel thinks she looks like Uma Thurman...I might have to agree on that one. The nose, the smile. Uma can Dance.

The judges loved her as much as we did, and she's through to Vegas.




Tom Kozal was up next, and he already got a point for using new Britney music. He gets another point for being highly amusing. But that might be where the points stop.

yeah, he was seriously flamboyant he made me laugh though :)

He is definitely a fun guy. But he needs to stick to Dancing with the Goats.

haha, well he's going home to play with those earless goats

Ashley Henry can shake it like whoa...but can't dance

She's a firecracker though. Lots of energy!

oh yeah, i love her personality...but this isn't the show for her..it's not "So you think you can Shake"

I know, or else you'd whoop up on this show Julie.

lol, I can drop it like it’s hot but I can’t believe this girl’s shimmy shakes won her way into the choreography...there's no way she can make it to Vegas though

I'll agree on that one. But maybe the choreography will do her some good.

Susie Garcia, the "school teacher" is up next. I hope here students enjoy this one.

I was thinking something along the same lines I think she was trying a bit too hard.

I think Nigel let little Nigel make his decision to send her to choreography

Yeah, but at the same time, she may have more to give. I'm not giving up on her quite yet.




Rebecca Hart is back for the second time this season, the judges turned her down in LA, but maybe things will be different further east?

I think she made a smart move coming back. She was quite good.

yeah, she has the talent, she just put it in the wrong package before

I really wish we could have seen more of her first audition, so we could compare. But from the way the judges talk this girl made major and the right changes to send her off to Vegas.

she's seriously lucky, not a lot of people would have the guts to come back just too weeks later, but she was able to wow the judges

Brice Casimir was up next.

he could move, but he wasn't interacting with the judges

Yeah, he had some amazing moves. But he just didn't connect. But the judges are giving him another go in Choreography.

Let's see if these guys can handle what Travis dishes out

Brice's fate was dished out first, and it was a no.

Ashley Henry wasn't able to talk her way into Vegas either

Susie, our Hot for Teacher lady is going off to Vegas though, along with 11 other dancers.

They still have another day to go though and Cooper Zamorano started off day two with a bang. this guy was cute and he can dance! I loved his contemporary style...and that move with his hips on the floor def got me thinking...

Oh Julie, he definitely was cute, but then again my standards are low (ie Clyde), but my dancing standards are high, and he impressed me.

Whoooa there, Clyde's not even here to defend himself! Oh, well...




He'll get me later, don't you worry. Until then, it's a free for all. Anyway, Yesenia Gomez, who got far in Vegas last year is back for another go.

She looks great this year, she lost 50 lbs and came back full force I can't belive her knee went out in the middle of her routine

She started out rather good. So it is a shame.

She's an amazing person to be able to turn her life around, the judges want her to get her knee better before she comes back to dance..I really hope she comes back to show her stuff

Yes, I am looking forward to seeing her again next year.

Yesenia's frind Phillip Courter up next with a weird but interesting pop, break, something routine?

He wasn't the best we've ever seen. But he had some entertaining moves.

He's going to Vegas, but I highly doubt we'll see him in our top 20

Once again Julie, I'll agree there. If he does make it through, it will be shocking.

Raymond Love, Julie Heart's cousin, has his audition next. After being stopped and scolded by Nigel for not showing any love to his nameless partner, he gave his real audition.

Mr. Love did better his second time around, but he started in with Nigel, which is very tricky, the judges loved his choreography, and it was enough to keep him around a little longer

He has some serious potential. Hopefully he shows that in choreography.

I agree, if he were to make it further, i'd like to see what kind of solos he'd do. Hao Hou came on stage next in an interesting tribal outfit. he was pretty unsteady on his feet though

This guy should have been doing fire dancing at a luau

haha, he matched mary in the leopard print

I think I'm as much at a lack of words as the judges.

Lizz Plott brings some more tap to the competition. I got two tap dancers in one day! Yea! And of course I thought she was fantastic

I think Lizz was way better than Bianca, and I loved her performance and personality

Lizz is more loveable. And she is off to Vegas.




Now on to the choreography...Raymond Love is out

No love for Love, but 11 others made it through on the second day.

we've got just one more mystery dancer left

wow...that was a show

Oh my gosh. That was hilarious.

It was Travis!! I have to see that again, i don't believe it!

Lack of Mohawk throws me off.

that was fantastic!

I don't know if my Travis crush just got worse, or better.

I can't believe he danced in drag, he really had that down...mannerism and all




Great way to end the audition process.

oh yeah, now it's full speed ahead to Vegas! I'm so excited I can't wait!

Yes, soon we will know who our top 20 are.

Stay tuned tomorrow it’s gonna get serious after that!

Comments

According to the South County Classical Ballet website, where Katee Shean has a bio, Mia Michaels has trained Katee.

Hmm, that's interesting, I hadn't heard about that...I wonder if they'll address that with the judges-perhaps she wont judge while she's in the competition
