Last night's So You Think You Can Dance featured auditions from Miami and Memphis, but the big story was the family connections.

In Miami, we saw a set of identical twins who kept trying to claim that they always spoke in unison (but failing in their interview) dance badly and completely out of sync. Embarassing!

Megan Kinney, an 18-year-old dancer from Annapolis, performed and easily made it through straight to Vegas in the Miami round. Later, in the Memphis round, her sister Caitlin, 21 and also from Annapolis, auditioned, saying she was hoping to get through and dance with her sister because they hadn't danced together in years. Her audition was also fabulous, and she told the judges that she had only been dancing for five years, but she had done gymnastics before that. She also made it straight to Vegas.

And Maryland, we have our locals to root for! I predicted, though, that when they make the cut to the Top 20, they are going to take it down to the two of them, and only one is going to get through. They do love doing that (witness last year's best friends and roommates)!

But Megan and Caitlin aren't the only siblings who could get broken up in that particular way.

Evan Kasprzak made the Top 40 last season, but got cut before the Top 20. Last night, he did a fun classic jazz number that evoked the 1940s. His brother Ryan, danced tap "with Whoopie cushion accompaniment," and won praise from the judges for his technique and "use of prop." They both got tickets to Vegas.

Twins Lauren and Lydia Garrett, 19 and from Dallas, tried out together. The judges liked them, but found one to have better technique and extension and the other to be a good performer. They were sent to choreography, but made it to Vegas.

All that family stuff aside, the star of the evening was guest judge Tyce DiOrio, whose expressions and comments during the auditions -- especially the bad ones -- were hysterical! He was killing it last night.
