So You Think You Can Dance: ‘Top 20 Perform’ Music Highlights
The latest episode of So You Think You Can Dance on FOX was enjoyable but I’ll be honest – overall the music was pretty lackluster for me tonight. Thankfully most of the dancing was dynamic and interesting enough to keep my attention. With all that said, I still made it out of the episode with […]
