Meet So You Think You Can Dance's Top 20!

Thursday – October 22, 2009 – 9:41am

So You Think You Can Dance selected its season 6 top 20 contestants Wednesday and after years of contemporary and jazz dancers taking the stage, the FOX show will see its first married couple -- and first hip-hop/krump dancer perform!

In a shocking twist, Ashleigh Di Lello ended up joining her husband, Ryan, in the top 20 after fan favorite contestant Paula van Oppen declined her spot so she could accept a movie contract. Russell Ferguson, the show's first krumper (improvisational street hip-hop) will take the stage next week, along with tap dancers Bianca Revels, Phillip Attmore and Peter Sabasino.

Check out the day's top celeb news photos.

For the first time ever, this year's top 20 contestants will get the chance to perform in their specialty without fear of elimination, in a special "Meet the Top 20" show next Monday. Also on Monday, the show's judges -- Nigel Lythgoe, Mary Murphy and new permanent judge Adam Shankman -- will announce the couples who will compete together on the following night's performance round.
