The show’s producers did a fine job of weaving favorite routines of both the judges and the finalists with memorable moments from the auditions. Host Cat Deeley, sleek in a short black-and-silver leather dress, said the show would celebrate the best of the season, and started things off with the introduction of the Top 20 dancers in a 1920s-style opening number. The favorite routines of the judges were: Paula — a contemporary number with Makenzie and Paul; Adam — the hip-hop routine with Fik-Shun and tWitch, who stripped off his tux to take the stage; and Nigel — the tap routine of Aaron, Alexis and Curtis, the three tap dancers in the Top 20. tWitch picked the Broadway number by Nico and Hayley that featured the most remarkable flips I’ve ever seen; and Mary selected the emotional routine by Tucker and All-Star Robert that was choreographed by Travis Wall from his own experiences with his brother. Even Cat got into the act, picking the “Girls Rule” hip-hop routine by Jasmine and All-Star Comfort.

Cashion was instrumental in the development of Mexican Folkloric dance companies in the United States. In addition to cofounding Los Lupeños de San Jose in 1969 and the Ballet Folklorico de Stanford in 1972, she helped start the Asociacion Nacional de Grupos Folklorics, a national organization promoting the study of Mexican culture, dance and music. She received an award from the Mexican government “for significant contributions to the culture and teaching of Mexican Folklore in the United States of America” in 1980, an honor award from the Mexican Heritage Plaza in San Jose for contributions to multicultural arts and education in 2006, and several California Arts Council grants for choreographic works.
