Marco and Tadd for SYTYCD

Once again, we have one more reason to be very proud of our nationality as two Fil-Ams successfully made it to the Top 10 finalists of a hit American reality show, So You Think You Can Dance.

Marco Germar (left) and Tadd Gadduang (right)
They are said to be two of the strongest contenders on the said dance competition.
Both of them are into different style of dancing. Gadduang is more into Hip Hop while Germar is more of Contemporary Jazz.
I'm sure many SYTYCD fans here in our country will watch the show and will keep their eyes on our two fellow pinoys.
The other SYTYCD finalists are Caitlyn Lawson, Clarice Ordaz, Jess Le Protto, Jordan Casanova, Melanie Moore, Mitchell Kelly, Ricky Jaime, and Sasha Mallory.
Let's hope for the best and may one of them win the grand prize. Cheers!
