Our last two auditions take place tonight in Los Angeles and Seattle. First stop, Los Angeles, with guest judge Adam Shankman. We’re also joined by Joshua, Katee and Comfort from last season.
 
Bianca Revels is a familiar face- she got cut just before the top 20 last year. She’s a good tapper, but we’re still not sure she’ll be able to handle much else. She’s got a good personality though, and potential, so the judges send her straight to Vegas.
 
Brynelle and Xavier Blanton are probably the weirdest brother and sister we’ve ever seen. Before they even start to dance, we’re sure this is going to be a nightmare… and we’re right. It’s like watching zombies dance. No tickets to Vegas for Brynelle and Xavier.

Tonight’s auditions take place in Memphis and Miami. First stop, Miami- we haven’t been here for four years, so hopefully we’ll find some fresh talent. Our guest judge for this stop is Tyce Diorio.
 
We’re alarmed when Tony Riendeau says he has his own style. That usually doesn’t mean good things. And Tony is no exception. He flops around like a fish out of water for a few minutes and gets a resounding no from the judges.
 
Priscilla Marrero gets off to a really interesting start. She’s quirky, in a good way, and we really like her… until she talks. She’s really awkward. But this is about dancing, and she’s great at that. The judges send her straight to Vegas.

So the new season of So You Think You Can Dance has begun, and our first two audition stops are New York City and Denver. First up, New York City.
 
The first auditioner of the season is Gabi Rojas. Why does this name sound so familiar? But anyway, Gabi has rheumatoid arthritis in the majority of her body, but you’d never guess it to watch her dance. She is amazing, and the judges put her directly through to Vegas. It’s a good start to the season.
 
Next up are Saalim Muslin and Habby Jacques. Oh good, more weird street dancers. Because we haven’t seen this a million times before. Turns out they’re really more creepy than anything, and this isn’t dance- it’s contortionism. The judges put them through to the choreography round.
 
Holy crap. Katherine Leach is apparently TRYING to make a fool of herself. What is this? The judges cut her.
