Results
After the Top 18 videos below, you'll find the dance videos from the results night when available.
- Great group dance: “Higher Ground” by Stevie Wonder; Mia Michaels choreography
- Classic Indian dance demonstration: Amrapali Ambegaokar; the second half is absolutely incredible
- Dance for your life solos, 1
- Dance for your life solos, 2
Caitlin and Jason were the first couple in the bottom three. While the judges
gave them mixed results on their hip-hop, last week's Bollywood was among my favorite SYTYCD
performances ever. I disagree with this result.
Ashley and Kupono were in the bottom three as were Kayla and Max.
Judges felt Caitlin's solo was very strong and that Jason's was one of the best they'd
ever seen. Ashley and Max were eliminated, but
neither result was unanimous.
