LIVE BLOG -- So You Think You Can Dance Canada continues tonight as the Top 22 perform for the first time for Canada's votes.

To start off the show, Leah announced that Shelaina was injured and would be unable to dance tonight. She didn't say what her fate would be in the competition.

Claudia & Yonni

Style: Salsa
Choreographers: Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-01

My Thoughts
I felt that certain parts were a bit awkward because she's taller than him in heels. But technique-wise, he was great and she was good.

Kirsten & Jera

Style: Contemporary
Choreographer: Mandy Moore
Song: "Fireflies" by Ron Pope
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-02

My Thoughts
That felt really short. I wanted to see more. Kirsten has amazing technique and Jera was really good as well. Their unison was a bit off in the part where they were lying down but overall I liked it.

Amanda & Denys

Style: Tango
Choreographers: Tony Meredith & Melanie LaPatin
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-03

My Thoughts
I thought it was fabulous. I kind of expected it from Denys but Amanda was really a surprise.

Charlene & Jeff

Style: Jive
Choreographer: Danny Arbour
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-04

My Thoughts
I thought it was pretty bad. There wasn't any conviction in their movements. Charlene was better than Jeff but not by much.

Danielle & Sebastian

Style: Bollywood
Choreographer: Longinus Fernandez
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-05

My Thoughts
It was kind of a meh performance. Also, Leah needs to stop talking over the start of the performances.

Kloe & Jonathan

Style: Hip-Hop
Choreographer: Sho-Tyme
Song: "X Goin' Give It To Ya"
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-06

My Thoughts
I thought they were great. My only suggestion for Jonathan is to get rid of that gangsta face. Just be cool

Julia & Jesse

Style: New Disco
Choreographer: Melissa Williams
Song: "Fame" by Lady Gaga
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-07

My Thoughts
I thought they did a really job.

Janick & Shavar

Style: Afro Jazz
Choreographer: Sean Cheesman
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-08

My Thoughts
Holy smokes at the amount of lifts. I loved that. I thought they were great. Janick is the real deal. She could be my new favourite.

Nathalie & MacKenzie

Style: Viennese Waltz
Choreographer: Pierre Allaire
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-09

My Thoughts
Beautiful. I thought they were great. I was surprised by how good Nathalie was. And I don't even know who MacKenzie is but he was great too.

Bree & Edgar

Style: Hip-Hop
Choreographer: JaeBlaze
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-10

My Thoughts
Great job. There could be multiple contenders this season. A few people really stepping up their game tonight.

Shelaina Tara-Jean & Hani

Style: Jazz
Choreographer: Nico Archambault & Wynn Holmes
Phone #: 1-877-9-SPIN-11

My Thoughts
I'm sad that Shelaina didn't get to dance that because I know she would have been great. But that Tara-Jean girl is also really good! I thought Hani was good but Tara-Jean stole the routine for me. Also, that Jazz looked a little bit Contemporary.


I approve of this fabulous Top 22. This looks like it's the best Top 20/22 on SYTYCD Canada.
