So you think you can dance finale

Season 6 of So You Think You Can Dance was said to be one of the best seasons with some of the most talented dancers. Through 24 episodes we saw the top 20 dancers grow as dancers from auditions to the finale. The top six dancers included Ellenore Scott, a quirky jazz dancer, Kathryn McCormick, an amazing contemporary dancer, ballroom dancers Ashleigh and Ryan Di Lello who were the first married couple to ever be on the show and Contemporary dancer Jakob Karr who came in second place. The title of “America’s Favorite Dancer” was taken by Russell Ferguson, a Boston native krumper.
In the end it was down to Jakob with his extensive training and marvelous technique and Russell a raw and rugged street dancer. Jakob was most anticipated finalist but America loves an underdog. Russell walked away with a quarter of a million dollars.
The finale consisted of the judges’ favorite dances and group numbers which included everyone from the top 20. Adam Lambert, Jennifer Lopez, Leona Lewis, Mary J. Blige and the Groovaloos all performed in the finale.
My favorite dancers included Nathan Trasoras, an 18 year old contemporary dancer. He originally auditioned season 5, but he was only 17 and was not allowed to go through to the next round. Though he was one of the youngest people on the show, he was one of the most talented. Nathan is a fantastic dancer who wasn't given enough credit for his abilities. He was constantly criticized for being too immature. When Nathan gave his amazing solo the week he was eliminated from the show, executive producer and judge, Nigal Lythgoe said "The sad thing is that Nathan's solo tonight was probably the best he's ever done...smug comments post criticism may have contributed to his elimination." Mollee Gray, also one of the youngest contestants in the competition was also among one of my favorite dancers. Her personality was beyond amazing, she was also excited and very free spirited. In the beginning of the show she was parted up with Nathan and they were both criticized for dancing too immature, but once she was partnered with Jakob for the Viennese waltz, everyone saw her blossom into a mature dancer. She and Nathan seemed to be a fan favorite in the beginning, but that was proven wrong when they we’re both eliminated. If I had to choose one person that I would have liked to win from the top 6, it would be Kathryn. The growth she endured on the show was phenomenal and she was an amazing dancer to begin with.
