This season, two ballroom dancers dove into Fox’s “So You Think You Can Dance” competition with fire and flavor, going where no BYU graduate has gone before.

With 14 performers left in the competition, husband and wife couple Ryan and Ashleigh Di Lello are coming closer every week to being crowned America’s favorite dancer.

Last year’s winner danced away with a $250,000 cash prize and a cover photo on “Dance Spirit” magazine.

Each week on the show, couples perform a new genre of dance they have pulled out of a hat. After rehearsing the new routine for a limited amount of time and performing  in front of three judges, a studio audience and millions of viewers, America votes for their favorite dancers, leaving a male and female to be eliminated each week.
