Season 11’s exciting auditions continue this week, as we meet new talent in Los Angeles and Philadelphia.
We’ll be meeting the rest of the dancers Los Angeles has to offer, as we return for day two of the West Coast auditions. Christina Applegate will be returning as judge for the second day, where hopefully she won’t shed as many tears as she did last week.
Nigel and Mary will be joined by two new faces to kick off the Philadelphia auditions: Tony award-winning Kinky Boots star Billy Porter, and ballet dancer with the American Ballet Theatre, Misty Copeland. Obviously both performers have a lot of experience and expertise to bring to the table, and it will be great to see how they react to the contestants’ auditions.
In this preview for tonight’s episode, we see that the contestants will be bringing sex appeal, some innovative routines, and some more amazing stories of overcoming life’s trials and tribulations to make it out on that stage.
One of the talented contestants taking the stage tonight is Stanley Glover. Stanley’s routine is so powerful and so incredible that at times it seems like the music he’s dancing to is coming right out of his body. He is certainly one to watch this season.
Well, we’ve been waiting to meet Marlene and her partner all season. They’re in all the commercials (see above), smoldering all over each other before their routine even begins. As it turns out, we already know her partner, Armen Way, from last season’s dropping-Malece-on-her-head incident. Hopefully he’s gotten over the attitude problems that hurt him last season, because he’s obviously an amazing dancer, as is Marlene, and it would mean a great season for ballroom if they both make it into the top 20.
