It’s a milestone week on So You Think You Can Dance, as the top 20 take the stage for the first time, and Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg perform.
America’s favorite dance show is celebrating its 200th live performance episode this week, which is no small feat, given it’s on-the-cusp renewals each season. Hopefully, the celebrations will include dance montages galore, and Nigel and Mary shoving cake in each other’s faces.
Jason Derulo and Snoop Dogg will be on hand for the celebrations, to perform their new hit “Wiggle,” likely accompanied by some SYTYCD favorites doing some wiggling of their own. Derulo is no stranger to SYTYCD, having served as a guest judge last season.
Season 11’s top 20 will take the stage for the first time this week, paired up with another finalist specializing in the same style, to dance for America’s votes. This will hopefully be a cakewalk week for the contestants, because not only will they be paired with another finalist from the same style, but they will be dancing a routine in that same style. This will likely be where the truly talented dancers rise to the top, and those that can’t quite hack it will quickly be revealed.
As a reminder, season 11’s top 20 contestants are: Bridget Whitman, Brooklyn Fullmer, Carly Blaney, Casey Askew, Emilio Dosal, Emily James, Jacque LeWarne, Jessica Richens, Jourdan Epstein, Malene Ostergaard, Marcquet Hill, Nick Garcia, Ricky Ubeda, Rudy Abreau, Serge Onik, Stanley Glover, Tanisha Belnap, Teddy Coffey, Valerie Rockey, and Zack Everhart.
