Seizoen: 1 - Aflevering: 19 / 19 - Eerst uitgezonden: 07 april 2008 - Episode ID: 249577

Can you see it? It's there, just cock your head, and squint real hard…. Yup, the finishing line is coming up on the horizon and tonight we're one step closer to knowing who will be Australia's favourite dancer. Ladies and gents, your Top 6 is here. But hey, let's cue flashback anyway. Lights, camera, action and hey, here's another awe-inspiring group performance from Australia's Top 8 dancers care of innovative choreographers Project Moda, who bought us Demi and Henry's House routine last night. In the words of the (ridiculously good-looking) boys themselves, the style is "Funsyonesyfunksyswingsy. It is what it says. Please enjoy." With plenty of Swing and Jive lifts, the quirky routine had a joyful House Funk flavour, showing off the playful sides of the Top 8. And in no time whatsoever, it's time to work out who your votes kept safe. First up, we took a trip down memory lane to check our first Kate, then Rhiannon's performances last night. For those who missed it (what the devil were you doing?), Kate nailed clever, complicated Hip Hop and stylish, sexy Quickstep with Jack, while Rhiannon rocked Jazz Funk Hip Hop and released her inner vixen for Burlesque with Graeme. Kate and Jack were Matt Lee's couple of the night – and the sentiment was shared nationwide – Kate was safe! Ballet dancer Vanessa kicked off the show getting agro in a Hip Hop workout and then danced up a storm to a Latin-influenced Broadway number with partner Rhys. Demi had a bumpy start with her House duo with Henry but blossomed with a Contemporary love affair. Demi has never been in the bottom three – and that streak of good luck continued, as she was declared safe! And here are the boys! The only Ballroom dancer left in the competition, Henry started out with synchronization problems with his House number before falling in love with Demi to Contemporary. Crowd favourite Jack flexed his muscles for a crime-fighting Quickstep before Singing in the Rain to Hip Hop with Kate. Both routines had the judges singing their praises – and similarly impressed you, the voting public – Jack was once again safe! The always-popular Rhys teamed up with Vanessa to put their timing put to the test with a tricky old school Hip Hop routine, before bringing some attitude to the streets from the West Side (Story) while Graeme got raunchy with Rhiannon with a whip-cracking Burlesque number, before getting back into his comfort zone with a funky tribute to Bragelina. Like Jack, Rhys has yet Dance For His Life – and his streak of good luck continued, staying safe again for another week. While the soulful One Republic entertained the crowd with their smash hit 'Stop and Stare', the bottom four – Rhiannon, Henry, Vanessa and Graeme – got ready to Dance For Their Life, more nervous than they've ever been thus far. Onstage the four smashed their solos, with a cheeky Graeme topping off the high-energy dance frenzy by singing he was "cool, calm and collected." The girl leaving was revealed as Rhiannon. She thanked her fans, friends and family. She put a plug in for her dream to get a recording contract, and her dream to be bigger than Michael and Janet's. See you on a stadium stage soon Rhi! The boy revealed as leaving was Henry. He thanked all his fans, saying he never expected to make it this far and it's been the biggest growth of his life. Go Henry – we'll miss you. Tune in next Sunday for your Top 6!
