SYTYCD - Audition Rundown

So You Think You Can Dance is back and if the past 2 weeks of auditions are any indication season 5 will not disappoint. This year has thus far brought a lot more tapping, the wisdom of Lil C (please make him a permanent judge), the amazingness of Adam Shankman and oh yes the return of Sex. While there were plenty of good dancers showcased here are our top 3 guys, girls and couple. You people are lazy so let's start with the best.

Nathan Trasoras (my overall favorite) - What can I say - I'm a sucker for a boy that can turn. Unfortunately Nathan was too young to make it onto Vegas. Lucky for us the gods are gifting us with a Fall season of SYTYCD (auditions in Atlanta Monday!). I would be shocked if we don't see Nathan in the Top 20 come November.

Erik "Silky" Moore - One of several great tappers showcased thus far but Silky added his own hip-hop touch. If you're worried he won't be able to tackle contemporary choreography check this out.

Evan Kasprzak - So different from what we normally see on this show and so entertaining. Oh and did you see that leap?



Natalie Reid - After being the last one out of the Top 20 last year Natalie is back and in my opinion better than before.



Gabi Rojas - She grew up in the circus and it shows. A little bit of contortionist, a little bit of theater and a lot of great dancing.



Anna Dunn - The judges took exception with her "head banging" but I loved her interpretation of the music and her choreography.



Asuka and Ricky - They're no Pasha and Anya but definitely the best ballroom dancers we've seen.
