I’ve already created a poll for people to vote for their favorite SYTYCD individual dancers (since at the end of the day it is about the individuals). However, even more important at this point is which of the top 20 couples are going to be placed into the bottom 3 and have to dance for their life tomorrow night? Place your vote now for the couples you think will be in the SYTYCD bottom 3 tomorrow night (yes, that means you’re voting for the worst couples from tonight’s SYTYCD top 20).
Someone asked me to post the numbers that people can use to vote for their favorites from the So You Think You Can Dance top 20. Your wish is my command. If you’re on the west coast, then this will also reveal the partners for the SYTYCD top 20.

So You Think You Can Dance is so unique since it’s kind of a team competition, but it’s also an individual competition as well. So, in this poll you can vote for the individual dancer that is your favorite. You can vote for the couples on my other So You Think You Can Dance top 20 poll which I’ll post after tonight’show.
Karla Garcia is a brave girl to tell the story of her first dance where she couldn’t hold her bladder. Even if she was only 3 years old, she’s also brave to tell the story. I really think that America will fall in love with Karla. She seems real and natural and something people will really learn to love. Max Kapitannikov is like the storyteller. He’s not quite as articulate, but he just seemed pretty nervous in front of the camera. Check it out:
Karla Garcia isn’t the traditional dancer, but I think she’s going to really add a different twist on the show. Has there ever been another Filipino dancer on the show? Another person who wasn’t featured on SYTYCD much at all.
This is a really interesting feature on Karla Garcia doing a broadway show and also talking about her dance studio. I wish we had features like this on all of the SYTYCD top 20.
Since you’re probably interested in seeing Karla Garcia’s dancing, you’ll enjoy this video of her performing a solo before SYTYCD. I think it shows a lot of energy and passion for dancing which should carry over well if she ever has to dance for her life.
Here’s another raw studio video of Karla performing before SYTYCD. Kind of fun to watch her performing with others behind her.
Also, the above video had this bio on Karla Garcia:
Karla Garcia hails from the DC Metropolitan area. She has been dancing competitively since the age of 6. She trained under Fran and Jimmy Peters at Fran’s Studio of Dance. She also attended the Kirov Academy of Ballet and the Washington School of Ballet. She decided to take her dancing further and pursue the big apple. She received a scholarship to NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts where she received a BFA in dance and a minor in journalism. During her final year of college, she landed a spot in the Broadway dance musical HOT FEET.
Recently, she completed 7 months on the national tour of the Broadway hit WICKED. Other credits include So You Think You Can Dance season 3 Las Vegas semi-finals, Carnival NY and LA, Rite Aid industrial, Radio City Rockette ensemble, and a Lucille Roberts Fitness commercial. She is a member of BOOGIE BOTS CREW and SIOPAO, both DC based. She is represented by Clear Talent Group agency and currently resides in NY, performing, teaching, and choreographing. She thanks God for all the gifts HE has given her.
We’re finally to the top 20 of So You Think You Can Dance 2009. The wait is over. I’ll be updating this page with all the So You Think You Can Dance top 20.
