Yes The guy from Philadelphia was incredible! I will be shocked if he doesn't end up in the top ten.

 

[Lehuaann]

Wasn't he?! This show is amazing. I cry at least a few times each season. Keeping fingers crossed for fav repeat choreographers; Sonya, Mia, Nappytabs, Travis....

 

[Lehuaann]

OMG, this guy is possessed!

 

[ugadog99]

This is my favorite reality/competition show! I'm just in awe of some of these dancers!

 

[Magic Mom]

LOVE the little girl dancing after mom and the zombie guy was amazing!

I love this show!

 

[Lehuaann]

I agree - the baby handing her mama the ticket, then performing ballet was adorable. Loved it when she arched backwards.

 

[AverageDiser]

The little girl was precious! I've had to go rogue though, lol, flipping between Dance and AGT right now.

 

[Lehuaann]

Ballet guy was great.

Thoughts on exorcist guy 'who takes over your soul?' Great dancer, but can someone please translate?

 

[cabanafrau]

Was so looking forward to it coming back! Some very good dancers already. Very, very happy to see Lil' C on the panel. He always has an interesting perspective. Excited to see Jesse Tyler Ferguson will be back again -- he was such a wonderful surprise last season.

The little girl absolutely killed it! You can see she has an instinctual connection to the music. Unbelievable at her age. Yes, I think she can dance.

One of the choreographers that comes in to work w/ DD's studio told them all a few weeks ago he has auditioned to be a choreographer again this season. Last time they picked Sonya over his work. Either he doesn't know yet or can't say if he made it this time, but apparently his audition was performed by two of the dancers who didn't make it on the show. The judges told them they would have made it had they auditioned that piece, so apparently they like his work.

 

[BearcatsFan]

I'm watching, too!

I *loved* the Exorcist guy. I cried through the whole thing. Me and Mary Murphy It was such unexpected music, and the dance/movement itself was incredible.

The little girl was so adorable! I told DH that sometimes people are just BORN to dance, and she proved it!

 

[gometros]

That little girl was adorable and the brother patiently waiting to give his mother the ticket to Vegas

When Nigel is good, is such a classy guy. The way he treated the kids and the blind mother was just hear warming. But man, when he doesn't like someone - watch out. They tore that disrespectful break dancer apart, although I'm not sure he was a bad as they made him out to be. Did he run his mouth? Sure. But he wasn't really that bad of a dancer.

 

[EMHDad]

Its completely sentimental, but the mother of the 2 little ones is my early on favorite. SO ADORABLE!

 

[GaRain]

I totally forgot to set it up to record and only caught the last 30 minutes last night. What was up with the guy who hated the show? Come on, you just want to be on tv with your bad beep lisp......go home!

Can't wait for more. Still love Twitch the best!

 

[cabanafrau]

I was waiting a bit to see if anybody mentioned anything before I asked this, but did the energy or the feel of the show seem different to anybody else? I couldn't quite put my finger on it, except that there were many, many, long commercial breaks and very little of Cat Deely talking w/ dancers that stood out to me as being different than in seasons past.

We watched the 2 hr show in not much more than an hour on the DVR.

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Watched last night. This season is gonna be Buuuuucckkk!!!

So many amazing dancers!

I'm so glad Nigel did 2 things. A) allowed the guy on the Autism Spectrum dance and gave him props, that was the best thing ever!
And b) shot down the arrogant Bleepity bleep bleep for his selfish attitude about the guy in A). Mary was right, he just wanted to be on TV, personally I would have never aired it.

Exorcist is going to be famous wether he makes it any further on the show or not. I cried!! I cried when the mom got on the stage too. Her DD was Adorable!!! I hope this show is on in 16 years when she's old enough to audition. And her DS was so cute. "Do you dance?" "I shuffle" Oh love them to pieces!!!

Oh and I'm not sure if Nappytabs is going to be around much this year, they are having a baby!

 

[gometros]

What was really cool was the NY auditions were in the Hammerstein Ballroom on 34th street. I remember when they were going on, there was such a long line. In one of the opening shots on the street of a bunch of dancers, you could see the Subway sign behind them and across the street, the B&H (which is where I work) logo clearly stands out

 

[hulagirl87]

I just finished watching it on the DVR and it was good!!! I loved the little girl dancing after her mom and absolutely love love loved the exorcist guy. I watched it twice! When I was watching the last guy (whose mom is going blind) I heard the music they played as he got his ticket and it was so familiar... It's the music they play in the Disney vacation planning video with Erin! My first thought was to check the disboards to see if anyone else had noticed it!

I like this season so far!

 

[lulubelle]

This is my favorite show. I love, love, love it!
Agree with what everyone is saying. Cutie mom is 29 and that worries me. Typically anyone over 25 doesn't make it very far. Sad, but true. I can't wait to see the LA auditions next week!

Oh, and I saw on Extra that they are choosing two winners this year, one male and one female. So I wonder if the core group will be larger? I hope so!

 

[Buckalew11]

watched tonight (dvr) and loved it! This is one of my favorite shows on TV. I'm not a dancer but it sure speaks to me/moves me.

Some of these people can move their bodies in ways that do not seem possible!

Nigel was so sweet to the mom, the autistic boy and the guy that danced for his mom. Loved it!
