So You Think You Can Dance Like Latinos? Guess Again!

Some of the most talented contestants in the history of Fox's incredibly popular So You Think You Can Dance—like Jeanine Mason and Janette Manrara—have been Latinas! So it doesn't surprise us that five (that’s right, cinco!) of this year’s top 10 contestants are Latin.
We’ve assembled them all here for your viewing pleasure, along with a few reasons why we think each has a shot at winning season 7 of SYTYCD, which airs Wednesdays at 8pm EST. Who will you be rooting for?
Cristina Santana, 24: This Mexicana from San Diego, California describes herself as "creative, fun, strong and determined."
Why we think she can win: Cristina is a salsa dancer, but she has a secret talent too: She can also belly dance! Cristina is a sexy and vivacious with great stage presence and tons of energy—just check out her audition video.
Achilles Heel: Last year, she auditioned and made it to Vegas week, but didn’t make it into the top 20 (perhaps a sign that the judges aren't exactly in love with her). And despite the fact that she received raves for her performance last week, Cristina somehow ended up in the bottom three.
