By the end of the night, only five girls would continue on to the live shows. We got three contemporary, two hip-hop, two jazz, and three ballroom routines! Madison and Sophie both danced cha-cha, while Mariah tackled a salsa. Madison and Cha-Cha were a pretty good mix. Were her legs a little too straight during most of the routine? Yes, but her attitude kind of made up for it. Sophie\u2019s Cha-Cha was a lot of fun, and you could tell she was enjoying herself except for when she got into her cha-cha steps. Then her thinking face was on full display. But the tricks were cool, especially the last one. And then there was Mariah\u2019s salsa. I would have liked to see a little more Latin motion, especially since she seemed pretty grounded throughout the routine. But the tricks they pulled off were ridiculously awesome. All three of these ladies did a good job, especially when you consider they were new to the style. The judges thought so too because all three of them are advancing to the Top 10.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, four out of five of our ballroom girls (Melany Mercedes, Ashley Sanchez, Sofia Ghavami, and Nazz Sldryan) got cut. Sumi Oshima (Hip-Hop) was also cut. In two weeks, Mariah Russell (Contemporary), Stephanie Sosa (Ballroom), Anna Linstruth (Hip-Hop), Sophie Pittman (Contemporary), and Madison Jordan (Contemporary) will be paired with an All-Star for the first live show.<\/p>\n<p>Do you agree with the judges choices?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This past Monday on So You Think You Can Dance, we saw our Top 10 Girls perform in a style outside their own.
