Highlights for LA/Chicago Audition Show

Tonight's So You Think You Can Dance audition show was highlighted by the triumphant return of street dancer Hokuto “Hawk” Konishi. Hawk created an instant youtube classic with an audition of several styles, including old skool, and an homage to last season's winner, Benji Schwimmer.

Benji and his sister Lacey were another highlight, with Lacey proving that talent runs in the family. Houston popper Phillip Chbeeb made tv screens across America go all wiggly, and had judge Shane Sparks in awe. Yesamin Gomez had Shane standing and later passed choreography to go to Las Vegas. Jon "Quincy" Vereen is a guy with a prosthetic left leg, a great attitude, and the best big sister in the world. Unfortunately, his "good" ankle couldn't stand up to the strain, and he had to bow out, despite being invited to the choreography round.

Join us tomorrow for full recaps.
