Season chronology

In the first five episodes, the Judges' Auditions featured about six full performances each along with the judges' critiques, as well as montages of other dancers.[7] From those auditions, a pool of eighty-three contestants,[lower-alpha 2] who each earned a Golden Ticket advancing them to The Academy where they face, in the next episodes, six Academy Rounds that winnow down to the Top Ten—five women and five men—for the live shows.[7]

In episode ten, and for the rest of the season, the live Studio Performance Shows showcase the finalists in solos, duets, and group numbers, as they vie to connect with viewers who vote for their favorites. The following week, at the end of the show, the two women and two men with the lowest vote totals will be up for elimination.[8] The judges decide which woman and man will be cut.

On September 16, 2019, Bailey Muñoz was crowned "America's Favorite Dancer" and became the first b-boy to win the title in the show's history. A forty-stop tour featuring the Top Ten finalists and two All-stars started soon after the finale and ran until December 2019.[9]

Judges' Auditions

Madison Jordan, an eventual Top Six finalist, shared that she submitted her online video in January and was contacted a month later to in-person auditions.[10] Those auditions, for dancers ages eighteen to thirty, took place with producers in: New York on February 9, 2019; Dallas on February 12; and Los Angeles on February 23.[10][11] From these, approximately 130 dancers were chosen by the producers to audition in Hollywood in March before the panel of judges.[10][12]

In addition to the new judges, the televised auditions have been revamped so instead of remote tryouts, the contestants come to the new SYTYCD Hollywood studio, outfitted with 120 cameras surrounding the stage, allowing the movement to be "frozen" in time, like bullet time.[13] Another change is the addition of a studio audience instead of being just the rest of auditioners and their supporters.[13]

The five episodes of Judges' Auditions each featured about six full-length dance routines; with an introduction package about the contestant, critique, and vote from the judging panel. Only a few of those were excluded from moving to The Academy Rounds; the successful auditioners were given a "Golden Ticket" to the Academy. In addition, montages of auditions were also mixed in with the full ones, showing a mix of some voted through.[1]

Some of the episodes were also themed; episode four featured various couple configurations including identical twin eighteen-year-old contemporary dancers Trent and Colton Edwards.[14]

The Academy

The Academy Rounds, filmed in April, started in episode six at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, California with the eighty-three contestants who made it through the Judges’ Auditions to get a Golden Ticket by excelling in a dance style of their choice.[10][7][lower-alpha 3] Over three days they will go through four Choreography Rounds of The Academy; rehearsing new dance routines, from a professional choreographer, en masse for ninety minutes.[7]

They then face the original four judges, in small groups, who can: pass them through; have them “dance for their lives”; or be cut from the competition.[7] Of those that started: approximately only one in four, or twenty (ten women, and ten men) will make it to the Top Twenty; and they will face The Final Cut, with only half (five women, and five men) going through to the Top Ten live shows.[7]

Choreography Rounds

The four Choreography Rounds were:

  1. Hip-hop dance taught by Luther Brown: he was looking for the dancers to have precision in the moves, energy, and star quality.[7] They performed to the dancehall song “Boasty” by rappers Wiley and Stefflon Don with Jamaican singer Sean Paul featuring Idris Elba;
  2. Ballroom dance taught by Emma Slater, and Sasha Farber: they taught a “sassy, intricate” cha-cha-cha with “lots of tricks” to the song “Free, Free, Free” by Pitbull featuring Theron Theron.[7] The choreographers looked for fun, and a noticeable “connection with [the] partner”;[7]
  3. Contemporary dance taught by Talia Favia: she taught her “fast, and challenging” routine that is “athletic, but with an emotional part [one] must feel”.[7] It's performed to “Moments Passed” by Dermot Kennedy.
  4. The Group Round with Mandy Moore,[7] assisted by All-Star Robert Roldan from season 7: Moore, for a first in the show’s history, reworked the three previous rounds’ choreography into a new group number; to a different song, a breakdown remix of “Dance to the Music” by Sly and the Family Stone.[15] Moore looks for the same quality needed to compete in the Live Studio Shows, the ability to “push” even when injured, exhausted, or mentally drained.[15]

The Academy’s first three rounds were shown in episode six.[7] Day One started with the Hip-hop Round, after which ten of the eighty-three dancers who started are cut, including Trent, one of the identical twins.[7] Day Two, the Ballroom Round cuts another fifteen people including: Colton, the other identical twin; and Sarah “Smac” McCreanor, a jazz dancer who wowed the judges as a comedic performer, but whose dancing was not at a high enough standard for the season.[7][16]

Episode seven picks up in the middle of the Contemporary Round, where fifty-four dancers faced more cuts: including Jay Jackson, a contemporary dancer, and drag queen, who competed in drag last year but opted not to this time;[7][16] and Jarrod Tyler Paulson, who is in a romantic relationship with fellow contestant Madison Jordan, who advanced to the Top Twenty.[15] Day Three sees the forty-three remaining dancers take on The Group Round: the judges do their cuts by seeing the contestants grouped by their dance genres; eleven are cut, leaving thirty-three.[15]

The Final Cuts

The Academy Week finishes with the last two Academy Rounds: The Solo Round features each of the remaining thirty-three contestants dancing a solo in their own genre, thirteen are cut, and the Top Twenty are revealed; while The Final Cut pares the dancers down to ten contestants.[15]

In episode eight and nine, we will see The Final Cut coverage.[15] Each contestant will be paired with a SYTYCD All-Star, and choreographer, to rehearse a duet outside the contestant’s genre.[15] In episode eight the Top Ten girls compete, the Top Ten boys compete the following week in episode nine.[17] The five contestants going through will be announced each night.[17]

Live shows

The Academy Rounds took place in April, the contestants had a few months off to practice as the live shows did not begin filming until August.[10] The rest of the season consists of the live shows—taped in front of a live audience on Saturdays, then aired the following Monday; with the exception of the finale, which was broadcast live—eliminating finalists based on viewer votes to determine "America's favorite dancer".[48] Finalist Sophie Pittman shared the experience can be "kind of nerve-racking because we don't know what to expect".[8] According to Barbara Muñoz, mother of another finalist, Bailey, contestants "draw from a hat what genre and choreographer they’re paired with".[40] The dancers are in rehearsal Tuesday through Saturday, "more than eight hours a day with professional choreographers", with new styles each week and usually one or more partners.[8]

Top Ten: Round 1

Top Ten group number choreographed by Mandy Moore to Kesha's "This is Me".[49]

The finalists are paired for the rest of the season:

The show ended with two group dances:

Top Ten: Round 2

The Top Ten group number was a contemporary dance, "Enough is Enough", choreographed by Travis Wall to Harry Styles' "Sign of the Times".[50] His piece references the current epidemic of gun violence in the United States.[50] Wall said that the dancers' "movements evoked the sudden violent jolt of gun death as well as the group fear, tension and grief that can result."[50] The number ends with the dancers peeling off their top shirt and turning away from the audience; "Enough" was spelled out across their undershirts.[50] Wall was nominated for an Emmy Award for Outstanding Choreography for two routines from last season: "It Takes a Lot to Know a Man", and "Glass Heart Concerto".[50][lower-alpha 8]

The bottom two women and men revealed earlier are gathered; Stephanie Sosa and Eddie Hoyt are eliminated; Ezra Sosa and Anna Linstruth are saved.[51] A montage of the two eliminated dancers’ SYTYCD highlights are shown.

Top Eight

The Top Eight show marks a format change to a two-hour show. Each contestant will dance five times: a solo; two duets; and two group numbers including the opening; before the elimination at the end.[53]

Top Eight group number:

Choreographed by Jonathan and Oksana Platero, the number is a mash-up of Latin/Rhythm dances to "Himno del Carnaval", by District 78 featuring Agina.[53] Afterwards host Cat Deeley alluded to this episode going "around the world", with later numbers presenting dance styles from Africa, Polynesia, and South America.[53] Dance Spirit's Alison Feller noted the series has gone "above and beyond" to "bring worldly dance forms to the small screen".[53]

Duets
First round:
  • Anna Linstruth and Benjamin Castro do a Polynesian dance in a Tahitian style: choreographed by Tiana Liufau to "Maua Taki" by Te Vaka.[54] According to Gold Derby, past efforts on SYTYCD have shown an "ethnic dance can lead to a feeling that the dancers are simply faking it. Also, choreography that relies too much on gimmicks or elaborate costumes can detract from the dance steps themselves."[55] This was echoed by the judges comments.
  • Madison Jordan and Ezra Sosa do a hip hop dance choreographed by Randi & Hef to "Space" by Dizzee Rascal.[54]
  • Mariah Russell and Bailey Muñoz do a Cha-cha-cha choreographed by Dmitry Chaplin to "Ce Soir? (Hugel remix)" by El Profesor featuring Laura White.[54]
  • Sophie Pittman and Gino Cosculluela, the new couple formed after last week's elimination did a contemporary dance choreographed by KC Monnie to "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen.[54]
Second round:
  • Anna Linstruth and Benjamin Castro do a Broadway dance choreographed by Al Blackstone to "I’ll Be Seeing You" by Tank and the Bangas.[54]
  • Madison Jordan and Ezra Sosa do an Argentine tango choreographed by Miriam Larici and Leonardo Barrionuevo to "Despues Que Te Fuiste (A Daniel Berard)" by Pepe Motta.[54]
  • Mariah Russell and Bailey Muñoz perform a contemporary dance choreographed by Mandy Korpinen and Elizabeth Petrin (Mandy & Elizabeth) to "Slide" by James Bay.[54]
  • Sophie Pittman and Gino Cosculluela perform a jazz dance choreographed by Jonathon Redavid to "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" by Elvis Presley.[54]
Solos performed in their own style

The show ended with two group dances; each couple was split with one member in each group, followed by the eliminations:

  • Madison Jordan, Gino Cosculluela, Mariah Russell, and Benjamin Castro: "bad guy" by Billie Eilish (Contemporary; Choreographer: Talia Favia)[53]
  • Ezra Sosa, Sophie Pittman, Bailey Muñoz, and Anna Linstruth: "Rebirth” by Lord KraVen (African Jazz; Choreographer: Sean Cheesman)[54]

The bottom two women and men from the prior week's vote are revealed.[54] Unanimously the judges eliminated Anna Linstruth and Benjamin Castro; Madison Jordan and Ezra Sosa are saved.[54]

Top Six

The Top Six sees the introduction of the All-stars (AS) into the opening group number, and as duet partners for the first round.[60] Choreographer Mandy Moore noted that using the AS forces the finalists to quickly develop a connection with a new partner.[35] Each finalist will perform: a solo; two duets, one with an AS, and one with their finalist partner; and two group numbers, the opening number, and a trio.[60]

Host Cat Deeley shared that last week's vote was the biggest of the season.[35] The judges know the results and will base their elimination decisions on the Top Six performances.[35]

Top Six group number:

Choreographed by Christopher "Pharside" Jennings & Krystal "Phoenix" Meraz the opening group included the six finalists as well as six All-stars doing a contemporary piece to "Down" by District 78 featuring Alexandra Senior.[60]

Duets, Round 1
First round is with AS partners:
Duets, Round 2
Second round is with their finalist partners:
Solos performed in their own style

The show ended with two trio dances, followed by the eliminations:

The Top Four are: Gino Cosculluela, Mariah Russell, Bailey Muñoz, and Sophie Pittman.[60] Ezra Sosa and Madison Jordan are eliminated.[60] This was in keeping with the judges' past pronouncements that Mariah & Bailey, as well as Sophie & Gino were the couples to beat.[63] Head judge and series creator Nigel Lythgoe also shared that this reflected the viewers' votes from last week.[67] The votes from this week will be combined with next week's to reveal the winner.[63]

Top Four

The Top Four is the last night of the competition, and sees the continuation of the All-stars (AS) in the opening group number, and as duet partners.[68] Next week’s finale showcases the Top Ten in favorite performances from the season.[68] Each finalist will perform: a solo; four duets, one with an AS, and one with each of the other finalists; and the opening number.[69] The votes from this week will be combined with last week's to reveal the winner in the finale.[63]

Top Four group number:

Choreographed by Mandy Moore the opening group included the finalists as well as AS doing a contemporary piece inspired by Cats, the movie based on the musical of the same name, premiering in December 2019; the performance used a medley inspired by the movie’s music.[38]

Notes

  1. This amount has remained unchanged since season three in 2007: Benji Schwimmer won $100,000 in season two in 2006, plus a hybrid SUV; in the series' debut in 2005, winner Nick Lazzarini received $100,000, and the use of a Manhattan penthouse apartment for a year which he exchanged for the cash equivalent.

  7. He has made appearances on: Dancing with the Stars;[40] and Disney's Shake It Up and Austin and Ally.[37][40]
  8. It is his ninth nomination, which ties him with Derek Hough as the most nominated male choreographer in Emmy history; they both trail Debbie Allen who has eleven.[50]
  9. Although TV by the Numbers reported the number of viewers as 1.19 million, it is clearly a typo with the final two digits switched: the preliminary results were 1.91 million, with Fox's average for the night being 2.10 million (the other Fox show, Beat Shazam, was at 2.30 million),[82] while with the final results the Fox average for the night remained 2.10 million, with Beat Shazam at 2.29 million, so 1.91 is the missing number for the average to work; the average would have dropped to 1.74 million if 1.19 was the correct figure.
