Bailey Muñoz’s journey to stardom on “So You Think You Can Dance” may have seemed instantaneous (he and his partner Mariah Russell quickly won over viewers’ hearts and became the last two contestants standing).

We did it! We made it to the live competition shows! The “we” in question, of course, being the viewers and voters at home, the four hardworking judges, and—yay!—the Season 16 Top 10. Last night, the top five guys and the top five women took to the “So You Think You Can Dance” live stage […]
