We flew straight to Phoenix after last Thursdays show for the season six auditions, en famille.
We landed into the desert heat, all 109 degrees of it, slightly dazed and confused.
We met an amazing deaf girl named Alison, who could feel the bass line of the music.
She did a wonderful audition, then moved onto the choreography round with Anya and Pasha.
She doesnt take it for granted Alison was truly magnificent!
I also had aSYTYCDfirst: In Phoenix, one of the contestants puked on my foot.
News, hot off the press!!
The performance show this week was one of our strongest yet.
We ask so much of the dancers, and they constantly deliver amazing results!
The show started withBrandon and Janette, and as always they didnt disappoint.
But I know Brandon was nervous, as Mia Michaels was on the judge panel.
She has been very vocal in the past about Brandons attitude and talent.
He neednt have worried!
It was such a wonderful moment and Brandon was crying as he left the stage!
However she bit the bullet and embraced the character wholeheartedly.
On Thursday both Jason and Caitlin had their bags packed, they were so sure they were going home.
The show started and Caitlins entire family had come to the studio dressed as aliens to offer their support.
When the results were revealed and they avoided the bottom three couples, they were ecstatic.
Kayla and Kuponolooked like superstars in theirTwilightinspired routine from Sonya.
Ade and Melissaperformed the shows first ever classical pas de deux en pointe.
I think Melissa inspired millions of little girls to take up ballet, with her beautiful portrayal of Juliet!
Unfortunately, we had to loseVitolio and Karla.
They performed a magnificent quickstep normally the most dreaded style of all!
Whenever dancers pick it from the hat, they cringe.
Jean Marc Genereux did an amazing job with the choreography and I loved the dress quick-change.
If only women could buy dresses like that in real life!
Mind you, I think its womens prerogative to change their minds and keep men waiting!
Wow…I suddenly feel very Carrie Bradshaw!
