The Melanie Mah Fanthread Options

THE MELANIE MAH FANTHREAD.





Eighteen-year-old Melanie Mah considers making the SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA Top 20 one of the greatest accomplishments of her life so far. "Nothing like this has ever happened to me so I am extremely excited!," says the Richmond Hill native. Melanie credits versatility, hard work and emotional support for getting her this far in the competition.


Although she is primarily a contemporary dancer, Melanie is also trained in ballet, jazz/lyrical, hip hop, and tap. Much to her surprise, SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA judge and choreographer Jean Marc Genereux's ballroom round during Finals Week proved to be the most difficult part of the audition process for Melanie. Never one to back down from a challenge, the proficient dancer welcomed the opportunity to master the difficult style claiming "once I finally got most of the steps down, it was really fun!"


Having worked with the likes of esteemed SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA guest judges and choreographers Blake McGrath and Mia Michaels, Melanie considers herself extremely lucky to possess the ability to dance - an ability which has taken her across North America to a variety of dance competitions. Of her audition experience, Melanie says "I've learned to just always remind myself that I do it because dance is my passion and to just try and enjoy every bit of this amazing opportunity."


Melanie believes that the wide range of dance styles found throughout the country are a direct result of Canada's cultural mosaic and she is proud to be part of a program that celebrates this diversity. "SO YOU THINK YOU CAN DANCE CANADA is important because there is no other TV show that celebrates the dance world in Canada...it really inspires younger Canadians."


When asked what the audience can expect from her this season, Melanie promises "a girl who loves to smile, dance, and have fun. I think I'll be able to show versatility while bringing a unique and different style of my own to the table."

Add me, please. Her permanently open mouth distracted me a lot, but other than that, her audition was awesome. I really like her

It seems like I remember two different girls named Melanie from the Toronto auditions on Tuesday night. One of them was a Salsa dancer who auditioned with her partner. I'm not certain if that was Melanie Mah, or the other one, although I'm thinking it was the other one.

But I only see a fan thread for one "Melanie," so maybe the other didn't make it to Canada's 'Vegas,' or whatever you call it?

LOL, hmmmmmmm I dont know

melanie is the one who danced solo. She injured her foot last year during the show and had to quit

I just reviewed the episode again, and now I know that the other one is Melanie Buttarazzi from Woodbridge, ON.

My other question was answered too, since she did get a ticket to the finals. I imagine she'll get her own fan thread eventually, if she makes Top 20. I'd start one myself, but I may not have the time to keep it updated.

Anyway, since this is Melanie Mah's fanthread, I can say that I liked her a lot too, and I hope she makes it.

I can live with two Melanies in the same Top 20, because we've had similar or identical names there before.

Hi Misty,

Actually there are two asian girls who auditioned with a lavender tank, so I can understand some confusion. Melanie is the young 18 year old from Richmond Hill who auditioned in Richmond Hill. She's brand new to the show; she would have been too young last year.

The other one you're thinking of is Stephanie Sy from Vancouver, who auditioned last year and broke her foot and is returning this year.

Aside from being both contemporary, they have very different styles. Melanie has a very earthy twisted beauty to her style; Stephanie's is a very airborne lyrical style. Stephanie is the one with the blue contacts.

[misty1]

crap that girl who broke her foot was stephanie? well this is embarrasing.
