Chicago/LA Auditions (or "Polar Summer")
June 4
Welcome back gang to Dance and we pick up where we left off with what was left of the Chicago auditions, plus a bit of the LA auditions as well. With that, let's begin.

CHICAGO
Oriental Theatre


Starting things off is Paul Brushhaer alias "The Puppet," who thinks he may ended up on the wrong show. Instead, he wanted to act like a puppet, hence the nickname. Good thing he didn't bring puppets on the show. Anyways, off to Hollywood he goes and next up is Emily James. She has a marketing degree and auditioned in seasons 8 & 9, but took one season off for school. Back at it, she decides to resume her dancing duties and it shows. Off to Hollywood for her. Franchesa Bass is next and her dance is inspired by aliens. I kid you not. They beam her off to Hollywood without a hitch.

With guest judge Fabrice joining the powerful 2, one fan happens to be Jenna Scaccia. After years of watching rehearsals, she decides to dance. That'll take her to Hollywood. To round it out, James Thomas. He's a hip-pop contortionist. I'm not playing. Even though it was eye-popping, round 2 came for him.

22 went on to round 2 and James dropped out, because he couldn't hold his partner correct. 10 survivors came correct and we arrive in the west coast.

LOS ANGELES
Orpheum Theatre


Jessica Richens was once a NYC Rockette, but now she's about to rock out by interpreting lyrics to a James Brown song. She wore the hat, but did moves to make the muscles go. And it was off to Hollywood she goes. Next was Valerie Rockey. She idolized Gene Kelly and Fred Astaire growing up and now she's on stage wearing only red shoes. That makes it interesting. What makes it more interesting is she's going to round 2. Also going to round 2 was Kyle Taylor. He's a Wichita native who did a very interesting popping routine.

Justine Lutz came in next. She had some contemporary, but had everything else to add in. That equals a trip to Hollywood for her. We have a couple named Daisie Mendoisia and Mauricio Vera. Despite not having a way to be in ballet for Daisie, both deserved a great dance and Hollywood would be their next stop. If Haillee Payne looks like Miley Cyrus, then that's who she is. Instead of twerking, she did a jazz-funk routine. It took her to Hollywood in an instant.

Sebastian Sierra returned with a vengeance and this time.....he's still got it. He's off to Hollywood! Next came Dani Platz. She stopped dancing at 13 for an eating disorder. Now at 18, she did some contortionist moves and it was round 2 for her. Lastly was Marie Bonnevay alias Marie Poppins. Although she didn't come in on a broomstick, she actually did popping moves. The judges fly her off to Hollywood!

With day 1 done, 14 survivors took on round 2. Kyle couldn't handle the pressure and decided not to take it anymore, but Valerie and Dani took it and went on.

Next week, more of the LA auditions. Will it be better than tonight? You'll find out. Goodbye everyone.
