Well, he is only to Vegas thus far. If they decide they do not want him in top 20, he won't make it, right?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

Plus half the SYTYCD alums are making their livings doing master classes anyway.

Can you explain this? What does this mean?

are you asking what a master class is? or how they know the SYTYCD alums are making their livings that way?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

a master class is just a class taught by someone considered a master. enrollment is usually limited to high level students/professionals - they cost more, I think they are for a set limited time maybe on an intense schedule. Like "limited engagement" Broadway runs.

I suspect that Evan will get a featured role in a Broadway and/or traveling musical. If he can sing worth a lick, I can see him in Chicago as Roxie's husband, Nathan Detroit in Guys and Dolls, etc.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Well, sure. Assuming he makes it any distance, which, you're right, we don't know.

or how they know the SYTYCD alums are making their livings that way?

I read an article? Somewhere on the internets? I know, not helpful. But then it just seemed that way when I was trolling youtube videos. I went on this thing where I was watching everyone that had danced to "Bleeding Love" ever, and lots of the linked videos after I was done with that were either of SYTYCD alums leading master classes, or people saying "I learned this awesome routine when I took a master class from so&so".

Oh, a friend sent me this:

So You Think You Can Dance 15 Greatest Routines, in Entertainment Weekly. There are embedded videos to all of the routines. I agree with a lot of them, if not the order.

That's a pretty good list. I never get tired of "Black Mamba".

I'd love to know what new watchers think of Ivan and Allison's dance since so much of that for me at the time was Ivan's growth.

I had never seen the Ivan/Allison or the Nick/Wossname All that Jazz before. I thought Ivan/Allison was good but not unusually distinguished contemporary. I would not have guessed he was a B-boy unless they'd said so in the caption.
