Things are heating up on So You Think You Can Dance

The fourth week of SABC1's dance reality show So You Think You Can Dance was sizzling hot. The competition is getting tougher and the contentants becoming more and more aggresive in their performances. This past weekend's show was filled with fireworks as they all fought to stay in the competition for yet another week.

The highlight for me for this week was Darren and Megan, who did a riveting pantsula routine. Megan is known for her outstanding dancing skills and could have easily pulled off the pantsula dance. Darren on the other hand, was a complete surprise. Maybe not really a surprise, but more of a shock as everybody was bowled over by the display of brilliance in the execution of the township dance genre. My second favourite couple were Ashly and Kim. Their chemistry is wonderful and their fluidity when dancing together shines through.

For a noteworthy mention, I have to praise Bathembu and Marisa for their awesome performance. The fact that they did so well, only dancing together for the first time (after Marisa's partner, Blaze, was booted off last week after his stint at the hospital from an undisclosed sickness) proved that they are true professionals, very flexible and determined to see themselves amongst the top contenders at the end of the competition. My other favourite couple, Elizma and Katlego also did their thing. Despite the judges feeling that Katlego was outshined by Elizma, I thought they were both really good.

Overall, it was a very entertaining show. The dancers and their choreographers deserve all the accolades they get for their respective outstanding jobs. Tune into So You Think You Can Dance results show on SABC1 tomorrow evening at 19:00 to see who was placed in the bottom 3 for this past weekend, who danced for their lives and was saved and who is out of the competition.
