The season premiere of “So You Think You Can Dance” was full of mostly contemporary and hip-hop performances — some better, some worse — so it was a breath of fresh air when Jin Lee told us what her performance style would be: bone-breaking, Chinese folk and waving. “I lost my father two years ago,” the 24-year-old hopeful explained. “He brought me to be curious about so many things and so many forms of art … I would not be able to move like this without him.” Watch her complete audition above.
Her routine wasn’t the most grandiose that we saw on night one, but the emotions it evoked brought judges Allison Holker and Comfort Fedoke to tears. “I just felt the tide, I felt the energy just kept building up until you got into a bit of your bone-breaking, and yet it still had grace in it. It was lovely,” said Fedoke. When asked by judge Maksim Chmerkovskiy what her experience and intent is with dance, she told them she was “obsessed with storytelling.” That’s exactly what Holker felt from the performance, but the audition only got more emotional from there.
