So You Think You Can Dance lost two contemporary dancers tonight when Noelle Marsh and Nathan Trasoras received the fewest number of audience votes to remain in the competition. The other two dancers in danger were contemporary dancer Kathryn McCormick and latin ballroom dancer Ryan Di Lello. Each performed the solos they danced the previous night before host Cat Deeley delivered the results.

Noelle made SYTYCD headlines at the beginning of the top 20 performance shows when she injured her knee and missed her first foxtrot with Russell Ferguson (choreographer Melanie LaPatin filled in). After an MRI, she bounced back into the competition and danced strongly until her last step on the series.

Nathan received a ticket straight to Vegas for season 6 when he auditioned for season 5 because he was just 17. He's been the recipient of some harsh critiques from judge Nigel Lythgoe, who chastised the audience for voting him safe after a dismal salsa routine with partner Mollee Gray.

As the dancers prepped for their solos, the Legion of Extraordinary Dancers hit it out the box with a synchronized performance to a stringed version of Coldplay's "Yellow." B-boy Legacy, one of this season's most talked-about dancers, and choreographer Lil C are members of the group.

Snoop Dogg delivered one of his singles with swagger, and season 1's Ryan Conferido and season 3's Hok Konishi and Dominic Sandoval were the next former SYTYCD contestants to dance full circle -- they were part of Snoop's dance squad, Quest Crew, which were heavily featured during the performance.

    Legacy was part of the group before he entered SYTYCD.
    Find him on the YouTube clips of LXD.

    I believe Legacy is a member of LXD. SYTYCD choreo/judge, LilC, also dances w/ LXD, and Ryan Conferido is a SYTYCD Season 1 alum who dances w/ Quest.

    Ooops! I had no idea. Thanks for pointing that out. No wonder their styles fit together so well. Way to go, Legacy!
