Danny Tidwell So You Think
n June 2007, based on his New York City audition, he was asked directly to Las Vegas callbacks without a second audition. Quickly, however, judges such as contemporary dance choreographer Mia Michaels and hip hop choreographer Shane Sparks, found Tidwell to be arrogant, with the latter saying Tidwell acted as if he were “God’s gift to the world.”
The allegation was a recurring issue throughout the show, and Tidwell found his reputation as a gifted dancer at odds with his aloof demeanor. Nigel Lythgoe for his part found the accusations tiresome, responding to choreographer Adam Shankman’s comment on his arrogance with, “I think you’re talking crap.
Selected as one of the top twenty, he was paired up with ballroom dancer, Anya Garnis. They were a judge favorite early on, with guest-judge Debbie Allen remarking “I can’t imagine you all not being at the very end of the competition”.
The couple first found themselves in the bottom three couples after they danced hip-hop choreographed by Dan Karaty on the third show.
The following night, Tidwell “danced for his life” in a contemporary solo that allowed him to stay in the competition. On the following broadcast, the couple danced a contemporary routine by Tyce Diorio but again they found themselves in the bottom three.
However, Tidwell had yet another successful solo and consequently moved on. Once in the top twelve, Tidwell and Garnis performed a Foxtrot routine choreographed by Jean-Marc Généreux.
After being in the bottom three for the third time in a row, Garnis was asked to leave the competition, while Tidwell made it into the top ten, earning him a spot in the planned 2007 So You Think You Can Dance Tour.
During the finale, Danny performed a solo to “We are the Champions”, as sung by Gavin DeGraw, that received effusive praise and the only standing ovation from the judges, with Lythgoe saying that “every young man watching this show should aspire to be as good as you”.The following night, he finished the competition as runner-up behind winner Sabra Johnson. Reflecting on the season, Tidwell said, “I have all kinds of dance styles now, connections to choreographers and music options.” He also concluded, “I found that I love to dance again.”
