We're on to round two of auditions and truth be told, I was actually excited for it. Auditions are usually my least favorite part of the show, especially since few, if any of the dancers featured in the audition episodes ever make it to...

Things are moving fast this season with "Dance" and I can't say I'm complaining. Tonight's auditions wrapped up in the South with Dallas and Nashville, and we even got to see the first part of Vegas Week.
In Dallas, Nigel was joined by Tyce...

We started with 58 dancers remaining in Vegas and by episode's end we were down to our Top 10 dancers. Vegas Week is fine and all, but the real reason I'm tuning in tonight is to watch the judges tell the dancers first-hand whether they made it...

Sonya choreographed tonight's opening routine,...

The theme for tonight's show was inspiration, and unfortunately it was anything but. The bulk of the routines tonight were just so-so for me, with the exception of maybe two. This crop of dancers is talented, certainly, but I don't feel like many...
