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. Because while the cuts actually get a little more emotional as the season goes on—come on, we get attached!—the first round of cuts always feels particularly cruel. These dancers […]
We did it! We made it to the live competition shows! The “we” in question, of course, being the viewers and voters at home, the four hardworking judges, and—yay!—the Season 16 Top 10. Last night, the top five guys and the top five women took to the “So You Think You Can Dance” live stage […]
We almost don’t dare to say it, but after last night’s final, final, final Season 16 audition round, it appears to be true: Next week, IT’S TIME FOR THE LIVE SHOWS!

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