Hayley Erbert, an 18-year-old contemporary dancer from Topeka, KS, and Paul Karmiryan, a 21-year-old Latin ballroom dancer from Glendale, CA, were eliminated from the competition based on home viewer votes cast for the Top 6 finalists immediately following last Tuesday night's show.
Hayley and Paul's ouster advanced Jasmine Harper, a 20-year-old contemporary dancer from Lawrenceville, GA; Amy Yakima, a 19-year-old jazz dancer from Northville, MI; "Fik-Shun," an 18-year-old hip-hop dancer from Las Vegas, NV; and Aaron Turner, a 25-year-old tap dancer from Las Vegas, NV, into next week's finale episode.
The night's rounds of competition allowed each Top 6 dancer to perform a solo, dance a routine with a fellow contestant and also take the stage with a So You Think You Can Dance all-star for the show's judges Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy as well as guest judge Jesse Tyler Ferguson.
Paul danced a jazz routine with all-star Kathryn McCormick, a contemporary number with Haley and his Latin ballroom solo.
