Welcome back to Simple Man Entertainment my friends I know it has been a while since we have posted anything here. Of course as I am sure you are aware we would not miss out on posting about a phenomenal show called “So You Think You Can Dance”. We are now at the start of the Season Six Top 20 competition and it looks like this season is going to over shadow Season 5, which was awesome.

Last week we all saw the judges whittle down the remaining Vegas contestants to the Top 20 dancers for this season, and there was at least one surprising twist there. One of their picks Paula van Oppen declined to compete because she had accepted a movie contract, which allowed dancer Ashleigh Di Lello to join the Top 20. This of course made her husband and top 20 contestant Ryan Di Lello very happy.

Last night we all got to see a one hour show that showcased the dancers in their chosen genres performing without fear of being cut. The show started with a 1930’s inspired piece that involved the entire Top 20 group of dancers. The routine was very well choreographed and performed depicting a sort of dancing gang fight between rival groups.

This season has also seen a couple of new firsts for the show. Season 6 finally has its first Krumper Russell Ferguson appearing in the top 20. Season 6 not is not only showcasing its first ever tapper in the Top 20 it is debuting three tappers in the Top 20. Season 6 is definitely proving to be a season for firsts and with the competition as close as it is these first timers are going to have to step it up a notch or ten.

Another first for “So You Think You Can Dance” is going to be the loss and absence of Emmy award winning choreographer Mia Michaels. She announced her departure right after she was taken to the hospital from choreographing a routine for “So You Think You Can Dance Canada”. Mia Michaels is not one of my favorite judges but she is a favorite choreographer and I will miss her creativity this season.

Tonight of course will be the first night of competition for the Top 20 dancers and two of them will be leaving the show at the end of night. This is due to a change in the format of the show by its producers. I am not sure if this format change will carry on throughout season 6 but I will find out and get back to you all about that. One other thing, it appears that Top 20 dancer Billy Bell has left the competition due to illness and there is no news yet who will replace him.

That is all I have for you right now, but we will be back tomorrow with a recap of the routines and results of tonight’s show. I hope you all have a great day and enjoy the show tonight on the Fox channel. Till tomorrow my friends CIAO4NOW!!!!!
