So you think you can dance
As for most Gen-Z dancers it was one of Landon’s and Jenna’s lifelong goals to go on SYTYCD. In the winter of 2012, Jenna auditioned and made it to the finale of the show. Landon was still only 17 and had to wait for the following season, but he received a ticket to come straight back.
In 2013, Jenna, then alumni of the show, returned to dance with Landon in his audition. (Little does anyone know that the music that was dubbed in—”Magalenha”—was not their original track. The original was “Let the Groove Get In” by Justin Timberlake, but it was changed in post due to copyright.) Landon made it to the green mile (top 40) and cheered on his friends from home.
World Youth Latin
In March 2012, Landon and Jenna won the National Under 21 Latin title and took 3rd in Youth at NDCA Nationals in Provo, Utah. Only a month later at the USA Dance Nationals held in Baltimore, Maryland they ranked 2nd in the Youth Latin category earning them sponsorship to represent the US at the 2012 WDSF World Youth Latin Championship held in Beijing, China. They went away with a great experience and were just a few placements shy of the quarter final (top 24).
