Season 1, Episode 4: Meet the Top 16

Well, after a very long hiatus, I am back – and writing about one of the most boring episodes SYTYCD has ever produced. There was zero dramatic tension, since most of the dancers who got air time in previous episodes had already gone home.

So instead of commenting on the episode itself, I thought I’d write about which of the top 16 I think are good enough to make it on to the show now. I’m making the judgment solely on what little dancing I’ve seen them do so far – which in many cases admittedly is just a minute or two. I’m also going to ignore everything I know about how good some of these dancers are now (particularly Nick, who is amazing in a Travis Wall piece set to Rolling in the Deep).
