Out of all the grueling hard work dancers put in day in and day out on So You Think You Can Dance it always pays off when they hit the dance floor. From Travis Wall’s star studded lyrical performances, to Twitch’s Time Defying moves these dancers leave it all on the floor and deserve a standing ovation. From challenging dances like the Cha Cha to emotional contemporary and from Jazz to Hip-Hop, these dancers show if they are able conquer and master every style and type of dance even if it is not their own specific genre. Although the auditions are already coming to a close in LA, the real action continues in Austin, Texas Tuesday May 21.
