Sasha Mallory and Alexander Fost performed a hip hop routine, aiming for swag, on the fourth week of competition (July 6) on So You Think You Can Dance.

During the pre-tape, we learned that Sasha’s family is all about partying, while Alexander’s father used to be a Hollywood actor. Their routine was about a first date and Alexander wanting a kiss when it was all over. Choreographed by Shaun Evaristo, the number was danced to To The Moon by Miguel.
Here is a recap summary of what the judges said: Guest judge Carmen Electra said Sasha was popping so hard that she didn’t get the sense of the two as a couple. Nigel Lythgoe said it felt like Hip Hop 101 (I agree) and recommended they go through Hip Hop for Dummies. Mary Murphy said she didn’t see the swag. Guest judge Travis Wall “didn’t hate it,” but said the two should work on their musicality.

Melanie Moore and Marko Germar performed a show stopping Jazz routine on the fourth week of competition (July 6) on So You Think You Can Dance.

During the pre-tape, we found out Marko rocks a mean drag queen and Melanie has a long-term boyfriend named Mitchell. Their routine was reminiscent of West Wide Story or Romeo and Juliet: A couple who run away from their families because the families have hated each other for centuries. Choreographed by Ray Leeper, the number was danced to Americano by Lady Gaga.

Here is a recap summary of what the judges said: Guest judge Travis Wall thought Marko was strong and said Melanie is amazing. He also said she is by far his favorite dancer in the competition. Guest judge Carmen Electra also said Melanie is strong and called her legs “ridiculous!” Nigel Lythgoe said the pair’s technique matches their performance. Mary Murphy said, “Wow!” And added that the couple has leap and bounds of passion. She called Melanie brilliant and renamed Marko, “Domination Man!”
