Caitlynn Lawson and Mitchell Kelly performed a romantic, lift-filled contemporary routine on the fourth week (Top 14) of competition (July 6) on So You Think You Can Dance.
During the pre-tape, we learned that Caitlynn is an outdoors kind of girl and finishes all of her sentences with a giggle. Mitchell lost his father when he was only two and lived in a car with his mother before auditioning in Atlanta. Their routine was choreographed by Mandy Moore to Celine Dion’s To Love You More.
Here is a recap summary of what the judges said: Mary Murphy said it was her favorite number of the night. She called the dance beautiful and came to tears she was so moved. Nigel Lythgoe said the emotion in the routine grabbed everyone and the lifts and leaps just flowed. Nigel said the routine took his breath away and agreed that this was the best routine of the night. Guest judge Carmen Electra said they were powerful and larger than life. Guest judge Travis Wall said it was unbelievable and said Caitlynn is the surprise of the season for him.
