Tonight’s special two hour episode featured auditions in LA and Chicago.

In LA, the line for auditioning was around the block, over a mile long.

Besides Nigel and Mary, Wade Robinson sat in as guest judge. He has worked with Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, and NSYNC in the areas of choreography.
Both of the past season’s champions have been from the LA auditions. Would this year continue that tradition?

There were a variety of dance styles represented. For example, Lauren Gottlieb showed a ballet influence. We think she may have been involved in cheerleading as well at some point, judging by her performance. She showed nice lines and excellent body control, commanding attention. She will be competing in Vegas.
Jessie Peralta did an interpretative routine that was sensual and interesting, even bringing baby oil into the equation at one point.
Some people are pursuing a career in the arts, even without parental/familiar support. One of these, Jesus Solorio, turned in an excellent audition, good enough to go straight to Vegas.

Dan Carrity of hip-hop fame was a guest judge, along with Mary Murphy, a ballroom dance champion, and Nigel Lythegoe.
The first stop was the Big Apple. New York City is the dance capital of the world with more dance studios and schools than anywhere in the world.
