This week, So You Think You Can Dance season 5 finalists Brandon Bryant and Melissa Sandvig came to Mohegan Sun Casino in Uncasville, CT for a meet and greet and free performance for fans

Brandon Bryant, a contemporary dancer, finished season 5 as the runner up to winner Jeanine Mason. Since the show, he has been teaching dance to kids in various cities across America. He also appeared in the Glee episode, "Bad Reputation". Bryant is currently living with So You Think You Can Dance season 7 all-star Ade Obayomi and is excited to see who will take this year's title of America's "favorite dancer."

Melissa Sandvig was the first ballerina to make the Top 10 on SYTYCD (not to mention the oldest finalist the show has ever had at the ripe age of 29). She is most notably remembered for her performance with partner Ade in Tyce Diorio's contemporary breast cancer piece that moved judges and fans alike to tears. Since the show, Sandvig has been teaching pilates and is now looking into a career in television and movies. She also appeared in the "Bad Reputation" episode of Glee with Bryant in the number "Total Eclipse of the Heart."

Bryant started the performances off with a contemporary solo full of strength and tricks that stole our hearts two seasons ago. Next, Sandvig took the stage in pointe shoes for a beautifully executed performance. After their solos, both dancers took time to answer questions from fans. For the final performance, Bryant and Sandvig danced a routine to hit Broadway musical Hair's "Aquarius" that they performed together during their season. Following the performances, Bryant and Sandvig met with fans to sign autographs.
