Our Own Unique Flavor: So You Think You Can Dance, Season 15, Auditions #4

E: Here it is.  The final set of auditions from New York City.  The final auditions from 2018.  Our last introductions to new dancers (and reintroductions to old!) before the Academy.  And, wow, the first confirmation that this is not an All Star season; we will in fact be getting 20 new dancers this year!  It’s a very good thing, because I’m already a fan of way more than 10 of these kids.

Also, we get Cat making me laugh by calling Vanessa Hudgens a megastar of stage and screen.  Ah, hyperbole.  It’s so much fun.

E: Hi there!  It’s been a long time, hasn’t it – both for me as a blogger and for this show.  I’m absolutely thrilled the show is back, and I’m so looking forward to getting back in the swing of all things blog.  And while yes, I do miss the days when the show was on for several nights a week and for longer than an hour, I will absolutely take what I can get.
