Want to get to know the So You Think You Can Dance season 9 competitors before they start to dance? If so, you're in luck. FOX has released profile videos of each dancer. Keep reading to check out the profiles for the four girl contemporary dancers: Alexa Anderson, Amber Jackson, Amelia Lowe and Janaya French.

Alexa Anderson

Alexa is a contemporary dancer from Chandler, Arizona. Check out her profile video below:



  • I kind of like that shiny green top.
  • Is that why there are so many contemporary dancers? Because the form incorporates multiple other dance styles? That would explain so much.
  • Upside-down in a big concrete block. Very cool.
  • Dancing superheroes! It would seem weird if not for that Legion of Extraordinary Dancers web series.

Amber Jackson

Amber is a contemporary dancer from Atlanta, Georgia. Check out her profile video below:



  • Ooh! She's hanging in the big concrete block!
  • It's amazing to hear about dancers who don't start until they're in their teens and then make this show only a couple of years later.
  • It must be super tough to audition multiple times for this show.

Amelia Lowe

Amelia is a contemporary dancer from Butler, New Jersey. Check out her profile video below:



  • Dancing seems to be a family business for Amelia.
  • Wow... Her skin is so pale...
  • It's a nice change to hear Amelia talking normally and not being nervous onstage or crying after harsh criticism.

Janaya French

Janaya is a contemporary dancer from Aurora, Colorado. Check out her profile video below:



  • The weird little bejeweled headband is... interesting.
  • Destined from birth to be a dancer... That's kind of cool, even if it's also a bit odd.
  • Unfortunately, we don't know much about why Janaya made the Top 20, since So You Think You Can Dance didn't bother to show us anything of her earlier.
