The following dance performance recaps contain spoilers. Each couple's performance is reviewed and may contain comments from the judges.
SYTYCD Top 10 Performance Recap
Each couple danced together, then each dancer performed a solo number as well.
Cody & Amy: Cody drew Amy and the couple had contemporary with Stacey Tookey. The story of the dance focused on a high school couple, which isn't a big stretch for baby face Cody. While entertaining, Cody's skill just didn't seem as strong as other contemporary dancers on the show. Amy gave a solid performance but overall the dance wasn't that exciting. Luther felt Amy's performance was a little flat and gave Cody props for doing well in a routine that wasn't his style. Blake agreed with Luther's assessment and Tre commented on Cody's growth.
- For their solos, Amy danced a solid contemporary routine while Cody gave his trademark crotch-grabbing slow hip-hip.
Vincent & Melanie: Vincent drew Melanie and the couple had paso doble choreographed by newcomers Natalli and Francis. The ballroom dance was fierce and filled with emotion from both dancers. Melanie seemed like a different dancer now that she no longer dances with Cody. Likewise, Vincent blossomed without Amy. Blake thought Vincent commanded the stage while Tre thought Melanie was captivating and intense. Jean Marc thought it was great.
- For their solos, Melanie didn't offer up much dance in her contemporary routine while Vincent gave a solid high-energy ballroom number.
Austin & Jayme Rae: Austin drew Jayme Rae and had a hip-hop routine choreographed by Sho-Tyme. The routine placed Austin out of his comfort zone and it showed. Although the piece had energy, Austin didn't hit the moves as hard as he should have. Luther called Jayme Rae his favourite dancer because she's a beast in every style she dances. Luther thought Austin pulled through it while Blake wanted Austin to hit it harder.
- For their solos, Jayme Rae danced a hot routine that had the crowd screaming while Austin performed a powerful yet controlled contemporary piece.
Everett & Kim: Everett drew Kim and had jazz choreographed by Sean Cheesman. The pair danced an entertaining mad scientist routine which showcased both dancers skill and performance abilities. Luther raved about Kim and found the dance quirky and fun. Blake loved how the dancers played the characters and cleanly hit the dance elements. Tre called it her favourite performance of the entire season.
- For their solos, Kim performed a solid contemporary routine while Everett danced an engaging and entertaining tap number.
Emanuel & Tara Jean: Emanuel drew Tara Jean and had samba with Tony & Melanie. Emanuel continues to dance with a broken finger but it didn't seem to slow him down. Although the dance is neither one's style, the couple offered up an entertaining number. Parts of it seemed unpolished and there didn't appear to be much handwork, likely due to Emanuel's injured hand. Luther called Tara Jean the hardest working dancer and thought Emanuel smashed it. Blake believed the connection but found slight flaws in Emanuel's technique.
- For their solos, Tara Jean danced a strong contemporary routine with big jumps while Emanuel jumped all over the stage but didn't seem to deliver a routine.
SYTYCD Top 10 Audience Favourites
This week fans will vote for individual dancers, so it will give the first insight into which dancers Canada prefers. Crowd favourites Everett, Austin and Cody will likely be safe but a few dancers haven't shown as much personality and may be in danger. Although versatile dancers, Amy, Vincent, and Melanie seem lost in the mix when compared to the other performers. How will Canada vote?
