Eight dancers survived the first cuts last week. By the end of this episode, six remain. But first: two hours, two duets each, two group routines, and eight solos. Here’s what went down.

They say the first cut is the deepest, and surely “they” are people who have been watching “So You Think You Can Dance” for 16 seasons.

After approximately 14 million weeks of individual auditions, […]
