So You Think You Can Dance: What's his name and the song he danced to at the auditions?!?

Question

Ok, during the auditions this season on So You Think You Can Dance, there was this guy. I know that he was 18, but he had tried out before when he was 15. I know that he's black and he did this amazing dance that was really structural and really showed off his muscles and stuff--basically made him look like a Greek God. He was wearing a black tank with black short shorts outfit.

If anyone knows who I'm talking about, tell me him name and if you know the song he danced to tell me that, too. Please.

The song was this orchestral dramatic sounding piece...I know that I've heard it somewhere else--a commercial I think. It reminds me alot of O, Fortuna from Carmina Burana.

Thanks, ^_^.

Answer 1

Brandon Bryant. I had him pegged for top 20 too--am disappointed that he didn't get in. He's certainly better than half the guys in the top 12, for my money, but I think considering his age, they figured he'd come back again.

I was absolutely stunned by him--the best way that I can describe it is that I showed _both my parents_ his dance on my TiVo, and they hate reality TV--both were really wowed by his audition, too.

According to another answerer here:

Requiem for a Tower, Movements 2-4

by Corner Stone Cues

I am not sure of the artist but it is very definitely that song, having seen both Requiem for a Dream and The Two Towers' trailer.
