So You Think You Can Dance Australia

Matt said they were some of the craziest freezes he’d ever seen and Jason Gilkison wasn’t sure how he’d handle the Foxtrot, but Bonnie handed Wild Rok Melbourne’s first ticket to the Top 100. Jason C? He thinks they’ll eat him up. Duelling Husband and Wife – Ash-Leigh & Dannial “Gorgeous” Ash-Leigh totally wowed the judges, with Jason G saying she delivered everything he loved about bal
