Tonight the bottom three street dancers and the bottom three stage dancers will be announced but for the first time fans can tweet in who they want to save. At the end of the show the three judges, Nigel, Paula and Jason, will save another two dancers. The remaining bottom two, one stage one street, will be sent home. In other news; Travis, Sonya Tayeh and Spencer Liff, as well as Cat, got Emmy nominations. So did did lighting, hair and makeup bringing the total nominations to 8 including "Best Reality Show". Congrats!

Last week the dancers were paired up and given a random dance style, tonight they will perform and learn if they are in danger of going home before they leave the stage. The team captain interview format after the performances remain awkward and irrelevant.

Performances:
Yorelis (street), Darion (stage), Hailee (stage) - Salsa - Jonathan Plater - Travis feels Darion isn't committed to the performance and thinks the girls will out dance him. While on stage, one very large trick was missed but overall it wasn't a horrible routine. The dizzying camera work my have hid a lot of imperfections.

Ariana (street) and Derek (stage) - Jazz- Ray Leeper - Ariana surprises everyone with her technical abilities and may quickly become a favorite!

Alexia (stage), Virgil (street), Megz (street) - Contemporary - Dee Caspary - I love it when street dancers do contemporary, you get to see them feel. Megz did great for what her capabilities are but her arms were flailing a little.

Lily (street), Burim (street), Gaby (stage), Edson (stage) - Bollywood - Nakul Dev Mahajan - With two stage dancers and two street dancers and none of them trained in Bollywood this should be interesting. The girls did a great job of keeping upbeat throughout the entire performance but I'm not sure the guys weren't there just to hold props mostly.

Asaf (street), Kate (stage), Neptune (street) - Broadway - Spencer Liff - Asaf is still having difficulty learning choreography but he seems to be down on himself early in rehearsals losing focus. tWitch speaks with him but can't get him to really get it. No doubt that Kate really shines and hopefully the negative comments from last week's performance don't have her packing her bags.

Jaja (street), Jim (stage) - Anime - Christopher Scott - I have to admit that Jaja is my favorite so PLEASE pull this off... oh wait, this is kind of her style. Well, hopefully Jim keeps her looking good because he definitely has the feels during this performance. (They brought their choreographer to tears!)

Marissa (stage), Moises (stage), JJ (street) - Jazz - Ray Leeper - During the first lift the prop chair gets knocked over but JJ is to the rescue and resets it before the next move. By the way, JJ is holding her own with these stage dancers! Good girl.

In Danger: Darion, Ariana, Derek, Lily, Neptune, Moises

Saved by Twitter: Neptune and Moises

Saved by the judges: Derek and Ariana

This means that Lily, street, and Darion, stage, are headed home.
