Welcome back from a two-week hiatus to Season 18 of “So You Think You Can Dance.” Did you miss us? Our past two Monday nights weren’t nearly as eventful without the chance to watch our faves compete to be America’s Favorite Dancer. So in case you didn’t catch last night’s episode, we’re here to fill […]
